I have been looking for years to find out something about my Cassells family of Co.
Armagh. My great grandmother was Jane Cassells who married Patrick Allen in 1835 in
Newtownhamilton, Co. Armagh. Her father was supposed to have been Mark Cassells. Her
children all migrated to Ontario as did a lot of the Cassells. Their son Thomas Cassells
Allen was my grandfather and he was born there in 1851. He died in 1898 in Halifax, N. S.
Do you have any information on any of the Cassells that sound like mine? If not, can you
tell me anything about the history of this family? Obviously we are cousins to some
degree. I can't seem to find mine in the area of Newtownhamilton. Is the family Scotch
or German? Mark is a German name. Janes father is supposed to have had a school there
which when I visited a Gwenn Cassells of Newry many long years ago she said the school was
made into a state school. Hoping to hear from you. Kay in Tenn.
