I've "rescued" a group of CASTLE Family photographs including one of Andrew
Jackson CASTLE husband of Mary Ellen FERGUSON and father of Frank CASTLE.
There are also a number of photographs of Mrs. Mary CASTLE and the two of
another unidentified women, all taken in Boston, Massachusetts Studios, with
one addressed "To Frank".
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information
regarding this CASTLE Family:
Andrew J. CASTLE was b. 16 Jan 1837 in Otego, New York to parents Eleazer
CASTLE (1793-1886 born in Oswego, NY) and Sally? (b. 1800 in Oswego, NY).
Andrew was one of 7 children born to this couple including, Alfred; John;
Sally Ann; Andrew; Emoline; Parmelia; and Theodore CASTLE, all born between
1826 and 1849. Andrew married Mary Ellen FERGUSON (b. 1839) and together
they had a son, Frank Arthur CASTLE b. 1862. Andrew died 19 Jan 1886 in
Boston, Massachusetts and is buried in the Dorchester North Burying Ground
in Dorchester, MA. Andrew's occupation at the time of his death was
Machinist.
Census records provide the following details:
1870 census of Boston, MA:
Andrew J. CASTLE, age 32, a Light Machinist, born NY
Mary E. CASTLE, age 31, Keeping House, born NY
Frank CASTLE, age 7, at School, born NY
1880 census of Boston, MA:
Andrew J. CASTLE, age 42, born NY, a Machinist
Mary E. CASTLE, wife, age 41, born NY
Frank A. CASTLE, son, age 17, born NY
I am hoping to locate someone from this CASTLE Family so that the
photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of
this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
