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

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?

[BallyaltikilliganG]

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
