Hi Bridget,

James Castel/Castle was my 4th great grand uncle. His brother John was my 4th great grandfather who married Margaret or Jane Roy. Providing my findings are correct, there was another brother Peter, born 1759. I have their father as being James (no dates or wife info), his father before that as James chr 28 Dec 1704 Tifty Fyvie. Then I have his parents as William Castell born approx 1660 and Issobell Davidson. I see that the spelling changed through the generations.
Sorry I don't have much more, however I shall pass it on if I find anything.
Regards

I am looking for any descendants of this family. They were neighbors of my grandparents, William and Marion Thompson sometime during 1940-1950, probably in the Green Rd. area of Cleveland, OH. I have some pictures of these people that were in my grandmother's album. I would like to pass them on to people who would appreciate them.

Hi Rosie,
I've certainly never met another Castel De Oro that wasn't a relative. From what I understand "Castel" is French, and "De Oro" is Spanish or Italian. There is/was supposedly a fort called Castel De Oro in Naples Italy, and I've heard though not confirmed rumour of another fort in Madrid, Spain. As cousin Sylvian once suggested, the one area of the world that seems to combine French, Spanish and Italian influcences is Basque country. This has become my generic answer when people ask about my name, I just tell them "I think it might be Basque"
Cheers,
Jeffrey Castel De Oro

On 17th February 1916 at 265 Rosemount Place, Aberdeen (reg dist Rubislaw, Aberdeen), Alexander Castel, 31, Farmer, married Mary Ann Webster, 33, Typist, according to the rights of the Church of Scotland.

Alex is shown as living at 265 Rosemount Place and his parents are Alex Castel, Farmer (deceased) & Margaret Kemp.

Mary is shown as living at 5 Dee Place, Aberdeen and her parents are Alexander Webster, Harbour Meter & Jane Murdoch.

Minister was H W Wright, Minister of Ferryhill Church.
Witnesses Mary E S Thomson & Allan Webster.

The marriage certificate states the bride & groom were cousins.

From previous research, Alex was from the Parish of Cruden. I'll e-mail you with further details.

Brian

PS I do not know what occupation a "Harbour Meter" is.

Sara

Between 1883 & 1885, only 2 Alexanders were born in Scotland (assuming the spelling Cast*).
1884 Alex Castel, born Cruden Aberdeenshire. 1891 census indicates parents to be Alex Castel & Margaret Kemp, married 23.03.1882 Cruden.
1885 Alex Castle, born St Nicholas, Aberdeen. 1891 census indicates parents to be Alex Castles & Jemina Lamont, married 1884 St Nicholas.

Do you know if your Alex married in Scotland prior to emigrating, and if so, when?. I may be able to check the marriage indexes.

2001-09-03 18:12:58Z

Brian,

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm afraid I don't know where Alex Castel came from but I do believe that Mary Webster, his wife, was from the Aberdeen area as my grandmother always said we had relatives in Aberdeen. I wonder if we are looking at the same people? Any more info, would be gratefully received but thanks for the details so far.

Kind regards,
Sara.

Re: Alex Castel

Sara

Have you any idea which part of Scotland Alex Castel was from?. I have done research regarding Castel's in Aberdeenshire born up to 1881, although I have some data after this date.
My research tends to suggest that families with this spelling were concentrated in the North East of Scotland. On the West Coast they tended to use Cassel.

Regards

Brian
