Castillia married John Osborne Roche  in 1875, Hastings, Sussex. By 1881 John and Castillia and their 2 children William Edward, born 1877 and Fanny born 1879, are living with Castillia's Mother Rebecca Stapleton in Christchurch, Kent. John is working as a Market man / Tea trader.

By 1901 the children have left home and John and Castillia are living in Isle of Thanet, Broadstairs, Kent. Living with them is Castillia's Sister Anna Glode Stapleton.

In 1911 they have moved to Bognor Regis, Sussex along with Anna Glode Stapleton.
