We have recently begun piecing together our Cassidy heritage. So far:
PATRICK CASSIDY, born about 1859 in Ireland emigrated about 1880 to the US
with(?) his wife CATHERINE MARTIN, born about 1857 in Ireland. Their first
child, Alice (my ggrandmother) was born in 1882 in Hartford, CT as was their
second, Susana, in 1885. Sometime in the next year, they moved to New York City,
where John Peter was born in 1886, James in 1887, Anna in 1888, Catherine May in
1891 and Francis in 1893(?). Patrick is listed in the 1900 census as a fireman.
Patrick and Catherine were both still living in 1920 on E. 32nd Ave, with son
Francis. I believe that Patrick died sometime in the 1920's, whereas Catherine
died after her daughter Alice's death in 1939.
If any of this sounds at all familiar to anyone, please contact me:
