G'day all,
I am looking for any Cassidy's from the County of MEATH in IRELAND that I
could open up communication with, re: genealogy.
My ancestor Thomas CASSIDY b.1803 was from the county of MEATH in Ireland and
was in 1821 sent to Australia on the vessel Countess of Harcourt (2) as a
convict supposely for stealing a pig (bringing home the bacon....lol), after
his sentence he then came to New Zealand and settled there marrying a native
lady.
I am coming to Ireland to further my research mostly Dublin area due to most
of the records are located there arriving Aug 7th and spending 10 days, I
will travel to Meath and spend a couple of days tracking down other Cassidy's
that hopefully will have a connection somewhere.
So if you are a Cassidy, and live in MEATH.....lets talk.
Mike McCarthy
PS. emmm McCarthy....must be another Irish convict in my blood somewhere
