Hi, Earle,
My friend Liam Cassidy's ancestor was also a John Cassidy who went from
Ireland to the Magdalen Islands ca. 1798. I believe his wife's name may
also have been Mary but I think her maiden name was Turnbull.

Hello Terry - you may have hit paydirt! William A. Cassidy was my
great-grandfather, born June 27,1846 and died Mar 17, 1930 in New Jersey,
New Brunswick. His wife Charlotte Jane Vanadestine was born in
Tabusintac, New Brunswick on August 15, 1849 and died in New Jersey, NB
on February 2, 1936. Children were Eliza, John Milton, Margaret Jane,
Mary Anderson, Robert Alexander (my grandfather), Janet, James William,
Annie Cecile, and Muriel.
I have a fairly extensive file on the family, going back to a John
Cassidy (1768-1808) and Elizabeth Mackie (1771-1850). Research to date
suggests they may have come from Scotland to Nova Scotia around 1790. I
had not seen a connection to Lord Athol through the Vanadestines, who had
a fairly large family in Tabusintac, NB. I'd like anything you may have
on this connection, and also your tie to William and Charlotte. Looking
forward to your reply,
Earle
