Hi all   Just thought I'd let you know I have found out that Ann de Chastel died in a house fire. Still do not know the death date but there must be a coroners report somewhere that I will chase up sometime I am next in Qld.

Hi Alicia
I have only recently found your message so I hope you find my reply.

My great grandmother was Maria Isabella Lawrence, sister to Ann Elizabeth Lawrence who was Emile's second wife. Her son, my Grandfather was Alan Lawrence. Maria married George Ireland in 1888.

I f you see this would you please get in touch.

hi Pauline, this is Alicia de Chastel here, sorry i haven't gotten back to you before this, i have been overseas and kept only remembering that i hadn't replied once i was off the computer. i would be interested in some of your research, i have only just started learning about the de Chastel side after typing my mum's name into google (also Ann de Chastel) and it showing that she had died in a house fire (naturally we were both a little spooked at finding this information). i look forward to any help you can offer on the de Chastels.

 the email you sent me doesnt appear to be working so hopefully you get this. my email is (*)

regards,

Alicia

I found this site by accident and was fascinated to find my Mum and Dad's names mentioned.  Dad was Claud de Chastel and Mum was Delina (Piggott).  I know very little about my Dad's life before he met Mum and would be interested to receive any information anyone has.
