Tipperary / Re: Jeremiah CASHEN m. Mary RYAN, in Tipperary

Cathy,
   Thanks for the update. Happy to see that you found Willie Cashin (quite a rush, heh?) and happy that we could lead you to him. We're going to send him something nice just to let him know we're thinking of him.

 I do have a ship record for Ann Cashin (b 1840). She married John Myers in NY in 1870 and hence traveled under the name, Ann Meyers. She was recorded on 11 Sept 1878 arriving in Brisbane on a ship named, Dunbar Castle. Origination port was London. Dunbar Castle was a wooden full-rigged ship built in 1864 by James Laing, Sunderland. Dimensions: 182'7"×33'9"×21'5" and tonnage: 925 GRT, 925 NRT and 817 tons under deck. The forecastle was 31' long and the poop 60'. Equipped with iron beams. Rigged with double fore and main topsails.

Ann and John eventually settled in the Tongala, Victoria region of Australia. She died 24 July 1928 in Nathalia, Australia, which is about 40 km away from Tongala.

I am related to the Cashen/Cashin family tree. My Cashin branch starts with William Cashin (1776-1879) and Catherine Duggan (abt 1780). They had at least three boys, Jeremiah (1797- ), Thomas (1803-1875), and William (1809-1883).

I have seen Cashen and Cashin used interchangeably in various documents.

My wife and I visited Cashel, Tipperary, last October. We were fortunate to discover a living relative, Willie Cashin, who is the last of the Cashin family still in the Cashel area. He and I are in the process of exchanging information. His farm is in the shadow of the Rock of Cashel castle. Willie has informed me that the Cashin family has resided there in Deansgrove, Cashel for over 250 years. I would love to hear from anybody who has contact with other living Cashin family members.

regards,
Brian

Hi,
  I am related to the Jeremiah Cashen (I have it recorded as Cashin) that you speak of. Jeremiah was born in 1797. His parents were William Cashin (1776-1879) and Catherine Duggan (abt 1780). William and Catherine also had at least two other boys, William Cashin (1809-1883) and Thomas Cashen (1803-1875). William Cashen was born in Killenaule, Tipperary.

The Cashin family has live in the Deansgrove section of Cashel, Tipperary for over 250 years. My wife and I visited there last October and discovered Willie Cashin, the last in the Cashin line to still live in the area. 

I must admit that Irish records are very sketchy, so you must take the above with a large grain of salt. However, a Tipperary historian, Cecile Mulcahey, has been very helpful in supplying information. I am hoping that Willie Cashin can also confirm my information.

You can reach me directly at (*)t to exchange further information.

regards,
Brian
