Four months ago, thereabouts, I answered someone with the Cassidy I know about to see if
we had anyone in common. With that one, no. However, some one else saw my little bit and
voila; we are of the same bunch and have exchanged histories and antecdotes. I'm a
generation older, but it was such a leap for joy. So to try with all the recent flurry
and who knows I repeat:
Ann Cassidy--born 1820, in Fermanagh. Parents, Paul and Mary. They were listed on
Ann's certificate of Marriage
from Cathedral of ST. Peter and Paul. Married to
Patrick McCaffrey, b 1828 in Co. Monagahan. His parents
from certificate were Patrick and Mary. The marriage
was on 10 Apr 1855. Thomas Murphy and Marian
Donnelly, witnesses.
On 3 Jan 1856 a daughter Mary was born, in Grand Detour,
Ogle Co. Illinois.
On 12 Aug 1858 James was born in Lee Co. Ill.
On 3 Nov 1860 a son Bernard born (my grandfather)
On 9 Sep 1862 a son Patrick born
On 9 Aug 1865 a daughter Margaret born.
All of the last four born in Marian Twsp., Lee Co. Illinois.
Appreciate any and all info. Rita McGuire
