I have relatives there today but they are TRAYNORs.

Just been looking again at some of those names which looks promising

Henry Casey of Drumherrif could be the Henry Casey who lived in the Drygate area of Glasgow in 1851.
Neal Casey, again of Drumherrif, could be the same "Neil Casey" who had a son called James, a shoemaker living in the High Street in Glasgow.
Also have a Hugh Casey living in Glasgow in the early 1850's so theres a wee chance I could be on the right track

My researches are still incomplete with too many loose ends. I have researched Poor Relief Records here in Glasgow and OPR's of Castleblayney at the National Archives in Dublin, to try and tie together the Casey and Cummiskey line. My 3x great grandfather, Bernard Casey, died in 1856 in the High Street, his certificate was signed by James Cummiskey "second cousin", Bernards mother was Bridget Cummiskey. There were 2 Cummiskey brothers living beside Bernards family in 1851, Patrick and his family and Bryan (or Bernard) and his family, they were the sons of Owen Cummiskey and Agnes McCormick. I do know of a James Cummiskey, a musician, who was the son of  John Cummiskey and Sarah Karr (this is the way its spelt on the death record)
Still not sure of this James Casey, although my 2xgreat grandfather, Henry, had a brother called James, who eventually went to Yorkshire and worked in an ironworks. Incidentally, my Caseys are notorious for moving around, I have them in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness (!!!), Newcastle, Durham, Leeds, Preston, Ipswich and Cork.

Just found a Poor Relief Entry for your James Casey

4th June 1895, states he was born in Muckno, County Monaghan, aged 64, paper mill worker

Just wondered if anyone had any info on the Caseys in the Donaghmoyne area. I think one of my ancestors came from this area but moved to Clontibret before coming to Scotland late 1840's. His name was Bernard Casey (son of Michael Casey and Bridget Cumiskey) and wife was Elizabeth McDade. He came to Scotland to with cousins and 2nd cousins of Comiskeys and have also found a Henry Casey listed in the census in Glasgow of 1851 from "Donnemand, County Monaghan" which is obviously Donaghmoyne. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone ?
