Hello again Ena,
You must think I'm glued to my PC; well, actually yes, at the moment I'm working
hard to complete a Cassy Family history for my mother's 90th Birthday in December. Her
mother was Jane Elizabeth Cassy, born in Shefield.
The Cassy family changed its name from Cassie to Cassy with George Cassy born 1795 in
Duns, but this was more by accident than design.
I have managed also to get back to Andrew Cassie (1758) and Jean Hill (b. c 1763) and from
Andrew (1758) back to his father James Cassie (1717) who married Alison Wadie (1726) in
Gordon in November 1750. It looks like James Cassie had a father Andrew Cassie born abt
1690 but I cannot get back farther than that.
Moving forward to James Cassie (1786). I have quite a bit of information regarding James
and his marriage to Catherine Dickson in about 1818. The exact marriage details I cannot
find at all and so the date of 1818 is a guess.
The marriage in 1818 was James' 2nd marriage. I suspected that his first wife was
Agnes Golightly and that they married around 1812 in Langton, Berwickshire. Your last
message confirms this to be the case.
Would it be possible for your to get in touch with me directly? You can do this by mailing
me at ric(a)sparky.uk.net.
I would like to confirm what little I know about Agnes and James. I can also provide you
with more definite dates and references regarding many other Cassie individuals if this
helps you too.
My best wishes,
Ric
