She was born in Kingston upon Hull in England, daughter of William CASTLE and Ann BATES. In 1856 she had an illegitimate son, Frederick William CASTLE in Melton Mowbray Workhouse, Leicestershire, England. It appears that the records for the workhouse do not cover the period that we require. Frederick appears to have been bought up by his grandparents. He later lived in Newark and Southwell, both in England. He had a business and a family of his own. William and Ann CASTLE lived in Grantham with their own family and Frederick noted on the Census as their grandson.It is believed that Eliza was 'in service'and not living at home before she had Frederick. We don't know what happened to her after that and cannot find any records to help us. It maybe that she married and changed her name, assumed a different name or left England to go and live somewhere else in the world. Do know where Eliza Hague CASTLE disappeared to? Is she part of your family? Did she live or work in the household of one of your relatives? Any information that anyone can give, however small or insignificant you may think it is, will be very gratefully received.
