Here is an update that may link in with other researchers.
John Cassell/Cassel/Castle was born around July of 1857 in Ireland. He died on Jan. 9,
1909 in Brooklyn, NY.
In the 1880 census he is listed in Gravesend, Kings Co. as John Castle and is living with
his first wife Johanna and their 3 month old son James. They had at least one more child,
Edward, who was born in 1882 in NY.
In the 1900 census he is listed as John Cassel and is living with his second wife, Bridget
Burke. Together they had 5 children: William, Mary, Helen, John Jr, and Catherine.
In 1909, his death certificate lists him as John Cassell.
In 1900 Edward is living with John and Bridget. James is nowhere to be found.
In 1920, Edward Castle and his wife Catherine are living on Chestnut Ave. in Brooklyn near
where John Cassell and Bridget Burke lived at the time of John's death.
In 1930 Edward and Catherine are listed as Cassell and are living on Bartlett Place. They
have a 24 year old son named John who is a telegraph operator. Edward carried the mail.
