Above: An 1861 map of Castle Eden, Durham Scale: 1:10 560 This location is speculative. However, it is possible that: the Government telegraph was following the railway; the fire hole could refer to the steam mill and engine house. even today Castle Eden is a small settlement;

In the 1871 census Madalina R Foster has been given the Hyldon surname.

Alfred's birth in Massingham, Norfolk, suggests he was Edmund's son from a previous marriage. Massingham is likely to be Great or Little Massingham, some ten miles east of Kings Lynn, in the Kings Lynn enumeration district.

There are no obvious entries, in the Ancestry 1861 census index, for either Hyldon (inc. Hyl*) living in Norfolk. Massingham is in the enumeration district of Great Massingham. There are no Hylton in either enumeration district 3 or 4, although there is a family of Hildons in district 3 and families of Hiltons in district 4.

There are no obvious entries for Paulina Hyldon and Edmond Hyldon, using wildcards, in the Ancestry 1881 census
