Its a long time ago since I received this information. But, on looking at
it, there is something suspicious about it being in my tree.
I don't have any birth dates for this man. Perhaps someone out west
researching their line added the data, but omitted to say it was a 'tenuous
link.
If you can provide me with more information on him, I'll be glad to
relinquish him to your Lincolnshire line. :-)
Don't suppose you have a gedcom file on them do you?

Last Friday I was in Lincolnshire and on my way home called in to see
Betty
Harris in Boston.
Whilst there she showed me a copy of your 'How Richard Henry Gunstone
Gibbs
Slade Casswell Got His Name' which I believe you published in
1997.
Betty then indicated to me the details you have for 'William Martin
Casswell', on page 55, together with his place on the 'Descendants of
Richard Casswell' pedigree, towards the back of the publication.
If I am correct in thinking that the Richard Casswell pedigree referred to
above, is part and parcel of your Wiltshire Casswells, are you aware of
the
Lincolnshire William Martin Casswell and Maud Blasson?
If not, I can provide his Lincolnshire antecedents together with some for
his family.
Clearly something is adrift here as surely there can't have been two sets
of
'WM Casswell & M Blasson's'.
By the way, I believe it is this couple that confused Betty Harris in
terms
of a 'Wiltshire/Lincolnshire' Casswell connection.

David
