I am looking for the parents of Lillimae Cassidy. The census taker really messed up her
parents line in the MO 1880 census.
I am looking for A. Cassidy, dressmaker, who was born about 1835, in either Kentucky or
Arkansas.
I believe this is Annie Cassidy, widow of John, who died in 1874. He was born in KY or
Ark. The census taker listed male and female for A Cassidy, and listed that person as
being born in ARK, and their parents being born in VA and OH. Lillymae's Dad was
listed as born in Ark, and her Mom, KY. Which makes it seem that the parent listed was
male.
Annie was the only dressmaker named Cassidy in the St. Louis city directory whose name
began with an A.
They also had a painter from Pitts. living with them named Cyrus Horner. He moved back to
Pitts., and Lillymae used his last name, and his address, on her marriage license at age
17 in Pitts. There was no sign of her mother/father.
I found no death record in St. Louis for A Cassidy, or any kind of probate or guardianship
record. I am trying to see if there was a parental consent for her marriage since she was
only 17.
Thank you
