Narrative
Assuming John came from the local family of Castlemans, which has to be doubted, this could be his baptism.
John Castleman Christening: 10 JUN 1751 Hinton-Saint Mary, Dorset, England. Father: Thomas Castleman.
He was one of several children, according to the IGI:
1. Elizabeth Castleman - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 06 JUL 1746 Hinton-Saint Mary, , Dorset, England
2. Thomas Castleman - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 04 JUL 1743 Hinton-Saint Mary, , Dorset, England
3. Robert Castleman - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 04 JUL 1743 Hinton-Saint Mary, , Dorset, England
If so, John would have been a few months over 20 when he married Betty Hobbs in Stalbridge. If we also assume Betty took at least 9 months to produce a child, she might have had a baby in July or August 1771 at the earliest, and depending on when he died, could even have been pregnant when she married Paul Lello. To look into further. Anyone with information on the Castleman family, please get in touch.
Was this a first marriage:
