Thanks Aghadowey,
That's great ...
I've found those other Casements that BallyaltikilliganG mentioned.
I should have thought of having a look at the bottom right hand corner 8)

It's also at the top right-hand corner.

Christopher - where did your Francis Casement hail from? Is he connected to the Comber Casements? Is he from a line with the name Francis and if so is Andrew also a family name?
-
Also, there is info on over 60 Casements on the great website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/C/CasCaw.htm#cas. BUt watch out for wee corners, sorry Christopher seeing I caused it, Jim

If your interested, Sir Roger's family lived at the Moat in Holywood, and had a Grain Exporting business.

A belated reply to Newgent, May 2009:
True, but irrelevant. Hugh Casement, who lived for a time at The Moat, was not a Co. Down Casement but hailed from Ballymena. That house (since demolished and replaced by another fine house) was not in Holywood but just off the Old Holywood Road, quite near what used to be the Somme nursing home: it probably counts as Knocknagoney.
His main business appears to have been importing sugar from the West Indies, but it's very possible his ships made the return journey carrying grain -- more profitable than ballast (and more ethical than the 'triangular' slave trade: his brother-in-law David Turnbull was a noted anti-slavery man).
