Surname CASSENCE

[nedster]

Hi,


Many thanks to Louisa & Jennifer, for the time you both spent in looking for the Cassence surname, that gives me a few more avenues to explore.

I have searched just by putting in parents names on 1861 but nothing comes up, I am intrigued, LM

I guess the east end dialect got lost in translation when the marriage took place, of the vicar was a bit tipsy,
Looking at the grooms signature it makes me think its Cafence, it certainly does not look like a double S.

If as you say you haven't found them on a census how did you find out who they were

Wasn't double S spelt as an FS, or am I imagining it

Hi,

Mary Siversides was the sister of my gg grandmother so i knew she exsisted, when i searched on ancestory for any records relating to her, i came across her marriage certificate to James Cassence, and the baptism records for the two children, then i hit the brick wall as no census records seem to exsist after the wedding, or any records for James before he got married.

Am happy to scan the certicate to you as i think it would make sense as to what i am trying to explain about the wording on the  certificate.

Once again many thanks for your time and effort.

I have looked at similar names with double S and they are shown as FS, intriguing though isn't it

It is known as the long S. If you google it  you will get an explaination and examples.
