Title: Castle/Cassell
Post by: merk on Sunday 18 July 04 13:45 BST (UK)

I am searching for information on  James Castle/Cassell born circa 1799 in Chastleton, Oxfordshire.  He died in 1852 in Williamsburg, Ontario Canada.  He married Hannah Butler in Evenlode, Gloucestershire in 1824 and had several children:

Mary Ann b. 1824
Charles b. 1826
Richard 1828
William 1830
James Cornelius b. 1833
Ruben b.1837
Eliza circa 1837

This family emigrated to Canada between the birth of Wm. and James.

I do not have any information on the parentage of James Castle or Hannah Butler.  If any one has information, I'd very much like to hear from you.

P.S. sometime around 1850 the family changed the spelling from Castle to Cassell.  On this side of the ocean, some families seemed to change the spelling and some did not.
