Hello Listers,
According to John CASSIDY's death certificate (as reported by his
widow, Margery BULLOCK CASSIDY) dated December 27, 1919, John's
father's name is listed as Hugh Cassidy b. Ireland. With the help of
Ancestry.com I went through all of the Hugh CASSIDYs born in Ireland,
living in Philadelphia with a son named John born circa 1850. I
narrowed it down to one. Of course, I have no proof that it's the Hugh
and John I am looking for or even if Margery was correct about John's
father's name being Hugh. But, it's the only lead I've got right now.
So, my question is, does anyone have a connection to the following
family???
Hugh CASSIDY b. Ireland circa 1820
Mary CASSIDY b. Ireland circa 1825
Margaret CASSIDY b. PA circa 1845
Jane CASSIDY b. PA circa 1846
John CASSIDY b. PA 1850
Josephine CASSIDY b. PA circa 1852
Mary CASSIDY b. PA circa 1854
The family was living in the 2nd Ward, Philadelphia, PA for the 1850,
1860, 1870 census. Mary was found as a widow for the 1880 census still
in Philadelphia. All dates are estimates from the 4 censuses.
John Cassidy was married to Margery BULLOCK in 1871 and living in DE.
Their children are Harry, Mary, Emma, and John. John and Margery's
youngest son John ended up back in Philadelphia married to Julia
ROGERS. The only other thing I know is that John and Margery's daughter
Mary married a Samuel Fleming and had a daughter named Margery.
I descend through John and Julia ROGERS CASSIDY.
If anyone thinks they may have a connection to this family I would love
to hear from you.
Thanks,
Kristin
