Could someone please look up Henry William Castle for me?

Henry was born 1900 in Eastry, Sandwich, Kent. Unfortunately I don't know his parents names or whether he had siblings....so hopefully there won't be too many Henry Wiliam's there!!

Thanks in advance

Gail

could only find an Henry George born in Kent

Thanks for looking TootyFruity

His name was definitely Henry William though, so not likely to be the same one

Thanks again

Gail

Nudging up to see if anyone can help please?

Thanks

useful confirmation for reference:

Births Dec 1900
Castle Henry William Eastry 2a 978

There's only one way to find out his parents' names: order the birth certificate. Without it, you're likely to remain in the dark.


My grx4 grandmother was a Castle in Wiltshire ... her grandson ended up in Kent ... ;)

Janey and Gail,

I'm a Castle by marriage, gawd help you if they were anything like my hubbies side.. you'll need all the certs you can get to confirm everything.. LOL!!!

Dee x

LOL...thanks!

Certificate buying it is then

I don't see a death for him. Could you tell us what you do know about him? You know something, or you wouldn't be looking for him. Wife's name? Place of marriage and children's birth if any? Just to consider the possibility of him not being in Kent in 1911, e.g.

I don't suppose this might be him?

Young, but people did lie about their ages to sign up. Unfortunately, that's one of the ones with no parents or birthdate listed.

Gail - I'm suspecting maybe he was born to unmarried parents and registered in his mother's surname and is hiding in 1911 under a stepfather's surname.

This is assuming that you do have evidence of his existence post 1911, which I'm not seeing any of!


Dee -- mine was Mary born around 1760 probably (married 1781, I was lucky to find), other than that, I have no clue ... but there's a decent chance her son was a bigamist!

Janey, he had a son, Haydn, in 1939 who was born in Eastry (other children were also born in the area)

I believe he got married in 1927 to May Box in Eastry.

Henry W Castle.

Yeah, looking around, seems hopeless without at least a mother's name from the birth cert.

His father's name (if he knew it, or didn't make one up for his own reasons even if he knew it as my gr-grfather did) should be on his marriage certificate, but best to start with the birth cert.

If it just gives a mother, even, we'll have her to look for.

Yes, Haydn b 1939, mmn Box.

Interesting couple I can't find in 1901 or 1911 - married same quarter as HW's birth:

Marriages Dec 1900
Castle Frederick Eastry 2a 2109
Gibbens Helen Frances Eastry 2a 2109

Oh well....am off to bed now
Henry still hiding...lol

Thanks everyone for your help. I guess I will have to invest in some certificates. Your time and help is much appreciated

Gail

What to do depends on what proof you have so far. You say you "believe" he married May Box in 1927. What makes you believe that? Do you have the son Haydn in your family tree already? Is this a direct ancestor or just a branch? I am conscious of going down a route that might not be the right one.

Please confirm what you know to be absolutely true.

Search trees, MM. ;) Only one person has that Haydn!

John, Emily and Thomas possibly illegitimate if the William Wootton on the census is her brother.



The 1901 census for Deal in Kent is a 'missing census record', so looks unlikely that they will be found in 1901.

(Piece RG 13/835 Deal and Piece RG13/836 Deal are missing from 1901 census)

Clever Choccy!

I can't see a birth for Sarah Jane Wootton (a Sarah Simmons 1873 Blean is on the 1891 census, Sarah S).

this looks like her -
