Dr. Wingfield & Revd. Casson, in Chester.

I know this is quite an oldie post, but I happened to see the "Ferdinando Casson" bit. there are several generations of Ferdinand/ Ferdinando Cassons in Westmorland/Cumbria, and most of them seem to be from one particular tree - think it's linked with Lewthwaits, or similar, where the first one pops up. Could be worth seeing if there are links there?

thank you for letting me know, I have not looked in to the family tree for a long time as my father became ill in 2010 was treated or depression for 5 months. they missed he had a very aggressive form of brain cancer and died . i was a difficult time as we did not get the help we needed to care for him.
it look its toll on my health and i recently had skin cancer . so i have not been able to do any more research. but thank you for the information
