Wow, you certainly have a quest. I only have two Cass. Samuel Cass b 1783
in MD son of Bowman Cass. Samuel married Leticia Tayler. For some reason
that I haven't been able to figure out, all of their 8 children used the
name CAST. I went to a Cast family reunion this past summer , but neglected
to ask if anyone knew the answer to this riddle.

Hello all,
We are looking for help with our researches, and wonder if SKS could help in
any way.
Our researches into our Playle family show that Florence Mary Sheppard
married William John Playle in 1898. Florence was born 11 August 1879 at
Royden Hamlet, Essex, the daughter of John James and Alice Amelia Sheppard
(formerly Cass). They married 8 October 1876 at Great Parndon, Essex.
We have a copy of the marriage certificate for John and Alice. There are no
details for Alice's father, and we understand that means that either Alice
did not give them (sounds rather odd, church wedding, her new husband had
just given the corresponding details for his father...)or that she did not
know them. We've looked at IGI and this revealled an Alice Cass, the
daughter of Jane Cass who was christened on 23 October 1860 at Stansted
Abbots, Hertfordshire. If nothing else, the ages fit.
If anyone has information that might be of use, we'd be very grateful if you
would contact us.
Many thanks
Steve and Jan Goldsmith
