- Mike;
I just made contact with a cousin in Australia. I was working on his side of my family when I discovered your website. This is what I have . . .
Seilig [or Selig] Wiley CASTLE & Ida Lou CHEDESTER [or CHEDISTER] had 8 children: Roy Emmett, William, Alford, Rena Mary, Earl Walter, Eva Amanda, & Laurah Odell. Laura was born 7 Apr 1900 [of] Winter Creek, Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. her mother died after the census taken Jun 1900. She was raised by Frederick JONES & Louisa Eleanor BUCKINGHAM, in Pottawattamie Co, Iowa. In the 1910 census of Oakland, Pottawattamie, Iowa she is listed with the family as Della CASSLE, 10, a "grand child". Although the CASTLE & JONES families lived in the same area, and some inter-married, I can't find a blood connection between Laura & Fred JONES, and she apparently never used the name JONES. The family moved to Sutter County, CA about 1912. On 12 Jun 1918, in Sacramento CA, Laura married Hugh Alvin MORRISON, Sr. of Yuba County. He was born 25 Jan 1889, d 26 Apr 1955.. They had two children, Maxine, b 16 May 1919; and Hugh Alvin MORRISON, Jr, b 14 Jan 1923. Laurah d 29 Dec 1979, in Yuba Co, CA
