Carole, sadly I do not have any records of your Caroline. Given your connection in this
area of London I would be very grateful indeed for any info you have on Castles in
Kensington/Chelsea/Fulham/Bermondsey areas.
I have resumed my family history research after 10 years as I have broken my leg and find
lots of time on my hands to surf the net!
My grandfather, James Castle , was married at All Saints in Fulham on 2nd Aug 1902 to an
Edith Coppen.
My research on James has been largely unsuccessful. James and Edith lived in Chelsea for a
time after the 1st World war and subsequently in East Acton, until the later 1930s when
they both died. I know James had siblings called William and Catherine..and possibly
others.
His father was William Castle DOB 8th Oct 1860 married to a Sarah Curnick. I believe
William's year of birth was c1828 and that he was born in Bermondsey, south London.
(Formerly Surrey perhaps).
If I have the right guy, from census search he was a police man in the 1860s in the
Hampton, Surrey area.
I know nothing else at all and would be thrilled to discover more information.
Many thanks.
