To introduce myself my name is Meirion CASEY, i'm married with three children
and live in Colwyn Bay , NORTH WALES.
This is the first time in using the internet to trace my family.
My father's name is John Casey and my Grandfather was Patrick John CASEY ,he
moved to N/Wales from Wigan, Lancs.
My G.Grandfather was named Thomas Patrick Casey and we believed he may have
moved to Britain from Ireland.
We believe he served in the East Kent Regiment of the Army as a drill
instructor .
His marriage Certificate dated 1/3/1902 at Wigan to Margaret RUSSELL shows his
residence at the time as INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL GERIV? Street ,Birmingham. he was
23yrs at the time.
His wife Margaret Russell lived at 11,New Square,Standisgate, Wigan.
THOMAS PATRICK CASEY's father my GG grandfather was shown as a Harbour Master
we believe from Cork Ireland.
His name was Michael CASEY we have no further details.
I am able to trace Margaret Russell back a little further she was born in
WIGAN on 14/10/1875 the daughter of SIDNEY RUSSELL a bell hanger and gas
fitter
and her mother MARY Russell nee BROWN .
They lived at 61 Lower Morris Street , Wigan. and prior to that at Mallgate?
Pitt Street WIGAN.
MARY BROWN'S father is shown as ADAM BAKER to complicate matters.
I also have interest in the MC QUIRE family again Wigan area this was my
Grandmothers maiden name he christian name being LILY.
Her father was Edward MCQUIRE and her mother SARAH JANE MC QUIRE nee HODSON.
HOPE THE ABOVE MAKES SENSE
THANKS TO EVERYONE IN ANTICIPATION
MEIRION CASEY.
