Pauline, I am a great grandchild of Agnes De Chastel. Agnes had 4 children when she married Emile. He had 4 children and after the marriage they had 2 more, Angelo and Vincent. My mother says the her mother spoke kindly of Emile that he was a kind and gentle man, that would not give to his children if he could not give to all the children.

Dear Cottontop
How good to hear from one of the de Chastel family.  My grandmother was Sarah (nee Needham) and joined Agnes in Australia.  I would love to share information with you.  I can't quite remember how this site works but I'll check and see how we can send a private mail.

Hi Cottontop and alipal,

Thanks for the information on Emile's profession as a Pharmacist. I had seen he was a Pharmacist on one of the earlier electoral rolls but did not know he was a wardsman at the Mount Morgan hospital. Have you found any information on his first wife in France? She must have died very young.

How are you alipal? Have you found any more information on your grandmother Sarah?

Please lets know if I can help with any information.

Pauline

Pauline. When Emille came to Aust. he was not allowed to practice and so he had to have a job.  Agnes and Emille meet because he needed a housekeeper and granny needed a job to support the family. We did not know he had been married in France, all we new was that he had a title "Baron" but that their land and title was taken from them.

Hello All, I hope I am not too late on this post. Emile de Chastil is my great great grandmother's father, and I am doing my family tree and am delighted to find all of this information it has been incredible to read. i had thought maybe Ann had died in childbirth as her last son was born the same year she died!
Anyhow, I am Natasha Brewer - I am down Eva & James Shackleton's line. If I can be involved in anyway please let me know.
I would also, LOVE, copies of the birth, death and marriage certificates that you have mentioned. Please personal message me it would mean the world to me and my family.
Thanks again!
