Assuming George and Alice were i the USA
If George had a child in 1897, he was undoubtedly alive in 1880.
Therefore, you should be able to find him and the household he was living in in 1880 by
doing a search in the 1880 US census that the LDS have on CDs at each of their family
History Centers. (You can search for free)
You can search the entire 1880 US index for all the George Castles in about 5 minutes - at
most.
Then you can look at their approximate ages and locations to narrow down the ones to look
for more info on.
Then you can look on the CDs at each of those to see a list of all the members of their
1880 household.
Finally, you could then look at the orignal census pages - etc.
You could do the same thing for Alice.
If you're nowhere near an LDS Family History Center (every Mormon "stake"
has one), I could stop by one on my way home from work and do some searches for you.
