danacastleton on Family Tree Circles

My grandfather, George Castleton came to New Zealand in the late 1890's. His parents were Anthony Richardson Castleton and Anne (nee Mitchell). His siblings were: Sarah Margaret (or Margaret Sarah), Eliza, Edward & Aldred (twins), Samuel and Evelyn.

I have no information about Anthony or his children and what became of them. From my grandfather's death notice he was survived by his wife, son, 3 brother and 1 sister in Ireland and 1 sister in Canada. Not sure what happened to the other sister.

My great-grandmother Anne Mitchell was born in Longford, Ireland and married an Anthony Richardson Castleton.

In 1901 she lived in River Street, Clara, Ireland and also in 1911. She was a widow in both census and had living with her a son, Samuel and a daughter, Evelyn but in 1911 it was just Samuel and Anne. There may also be a connection to the Cobbe family who came from Kings County.

Any information would be much appreciated as I have very little to go on.
