Hi
Looking for any info on my late grandparents John(born 1882) and Lizzie(born 1885) Cassidy (Nee Nash), they would have been married 100 years on 26th November 2014, they married at St Eugenes Derry in 1914.
They both had died before I was born, so any info on them would be great, John was a cattle dealer in the city and died in 1948,Lizzie died in 1962....they lived on Argyle Terrace Derry.

Hi DoireM
I don't have my grandparents death notices, we have found it difficult to get much info on them, other than what I have managed to get from family and there isn't really anyone alive now that remembers them.
Kind Regards argyel25cassidy

Looks as if William Cassidy died on a Friday and the Derry Journal's next issue was the following Monday. Too late for death notice but I found a write up of William in Wednesday's issue of the D.J.
Derry Journal: Wednesday 15th February, 1928 P.8
Death of Esteemed Derry Man.
Great sorrow and regret were occasioned not only in Derry City, but throughout the North West by the death of Mr William Cassidy, Rossville Street, who was one of the best known cattle dealers in the North of Ireland. Deceased was highly esteemed by all who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance and was noted for the strict probity with which he conducted his business. His word was everywhere his bond. Mr Cassidy came of old and respected Derry family and was a life long Nationalist, and a pious and practical Catholic. During his last illness, which he contracted only a fortnight ago, he was attended by Rev. J. Bonner C.C. St. Eugene's. May he rest in peace. There was a very large and representative attendance at the funeral which took place on Sunday. Amongst those present were the Rev. J. L. McGettigan, Adm., and Rev. J. Bonner, the latter officiating at the graveside. The chief mourners were, Michael, John, William, Denis, Francis (sons) James Carr, Ballinlost, Donegal. James Cassidy, Thomas Cassidy, Denis Cassidy, James Cassidy, Patrick Cassidy, Michael, Bob and James Lecky (nephews) John Carr, Ballinlost, Donegal (brother in-law) William, Patrick, Denis, Kevin, Michael, Thomas, William and Jack Cassidy (grandsons.)
The funeral arrangements were satisfactorily carried out by Messrs J. L. McClafferty & Sons, Wellington Street.

Hi Anne
Many thanks for taking the time to look up the grave record, do you know if there are plans to put more city cemetery burial records online, if im right I think they only go up to the 1920’s at the moment.
Kind regards argyle

They are currently working on expanding the records to at least 1950 which would be such a bonus!

Hi

Thanks in advance
