I am not related to the Mountcastle's but I think you would be unlikely to get much further back than the mid 16th century as this is when Parish Registers were ordered to be kept by Thomas Cromwell at the Court of Henry V111. |

All the Mountcastle researchers that I have so far made contact with, seem to start their tree with the record of a marriage in 1566 in Fiskerton, Lincolnshire, and an assumed birth year of 1540 for George Muncastle and Elizabeth, his wife. My question is, does anyone know of either Fiskerton records prior to this date, or where the Muncastle/Mountcastle name may have come from. |
