Hi Forfarian
Like you I also have the birth details of the five" issue" of the Rev Graham and Sheila, but still have to "pursue" their marriages and deaths ... if that be the case.
Charles Rae was a son of William Hamlyn Rae and Anne Kennedy Robertson Dalrymple. William was a Church of Scotland Missionary and, as I'm led to believe from a Google search, went off to Australia where he died in Cowes, Victoria in 1944.

That's spooky, I live in Cowes, Australia! I'll have a look for him in the cemetery.
It would be interesting to know more on Cassells Cordner's parents to see if there is a link to the Cassells. Would Emerald Ancestors have info on the marriage of James Cordner and Mary McGinn?
I see that there are details about a Deborah Castles earlier on.
From my experience with fasmily Irish accents and Australian accents I would think that Castle/Cassell are the same name. My Australian gt grandfather, apparently, always pronounced the A in a word like castle, like Cass or castanet short. This pronounciation came down in my mother's family to her (born/died in NZ); She always pronounced castle as Casstle. By contrast, in NZ and some parts of Australia the A is lengthened like barn with a 'car' sound or Carstle.
