Casey of Donaghmoyne

[T.Donaldson]

You have no idea how pleased i am to have found another Casey researcher and i cant believe i havnt found this thread before. I found this branch difficult to get started on as you say Seumas they travelled around so much they are sometimes hard to pin down– and i found it quite frustrating , had a mental block and lost interest but someone did very kindly spend time on this to get me started and revived my interest although I havnt got much further.

Bernard Casey  (I have him as Barnard on a marriage cert and Barney on 1851 census)
Born 1811 (?) Ireland
Died 7 July 1856 82 High Street Glasgow  (off LDS Submitted entry – not checked)
Married Elizabeth McDade in Ireland c1831 (she is wrongly noted as Dickson on son Francis death certificate which is witnessed by his wife Lavinia Spiers)

Again, on LDS Submitted entry is has Bernards parents as Michael Casey married  Bridgett Commisky – Ive not checked this either.

Their son John is my gt gt grandfather.
On 1861 census says that he was born in Monaghan. On this he is with “wife” Helen and two sons John and William b Glasgow.
John married Ann Phillips in 1864 Huddersfield Yorkshire – these are my gt gt grandparents. Johns father is noted as Barnard Casey, Outdoor worker, Deceased  on the marriage cert.

Ann died in 1901 Crownpoint Rd Glasgow.  I have no idea where John died but it was somewhere between 1897 and 1901 as he was alive when his son Francis married and dead by 1901 as Ann is described as a Widow on her death cert.

John and Anns children
 
1. Francis 1866 Ipswich Suffolk
2. James 1867 Huddersfield Yorkshire
3. Robert 1868 Ipswich Suffolk
4. Henry 1870 Peston Lancashire
5. Mary Ann 1872 Rochdale Lancashire
6. Joseph 1876 Ireland
7. George 1879 Chorley Lancashire
9. Edmund 1882 Chorley Lancashire

Francis b1866 is my gt grandfather. The only siblings I have managed to find information on are George and Edmund.

I have certifcates and information concerning the above that need i need to sort out and put in place but best keep things simple for now.

I hope this thread is still alive !

This is brilliant news, we are related !!! Bernard/Barnard/Barney Casey was my 3 x great grandfather, his son Henry, Johns twin brother, was my 2 x great grandfather and his daughter was Mary Casey (born Edinburgh in 1867) was my great grandmother. The Casey's are on my mums side, she will be delighted to hear of you, she still has the name Casey as he middle name, after her granny. I live in Glasgow and have researched Poor Relief Records detailing Henry Casey's movements and the kind of person he was would love to send them to you. Will attach me email addy at the end of this.
Am off to Dublin next month for another look at Tithe books from Donaghmoyne and to have a look at any OPR books from neighbouring parishes as I know the parish that I think the Caseys came from didn't have OPR's until 1864. Hopefully will find more.
Would love any certificates or other stuff sent to me and I will send all the stuff I have, my email addy is ^(*) and I have a webspace with my family tree, there is a photo of Mary Casey taken in the early 1800's there which might be of interest.

Hello Tracey and Seamus....
I'm Christine Casey (Robinson) sister of Susan (wee Sue) ..hi sis...
Wondered if either of you had been to Monaghan - Ireland since the last posting we are seeking more info on our Casey and Cummiskey ancestors..there may be a link between our families we know of Patrick Casey born around 1805 in Ireland and his wife Ann Boyle we think from Muckno in Monaghan....we also have John Cummiskey born 1800 and his wife Sarah Carr / Karr from Monaghan....the two couples had children who came to Scotland in the 1850's and the two lines met later on with my grandparents..Agnes Cummiskey born Edinburgh 1908 and James Casey born 1905 in Glasgow, but they seemed to be living close by each other and various other relatives married  Casey's or Cummiskey's.....before our grandparents...its amazing to us to see links way back in Ireland with the two families...do you have any of our names or dates among your info?
Hopeful Regards - Christine Casey Robinson....In Perth, Western Australia....All my Casey family are still in Glasgow.....

Hi Christine

How great to hear from another potential link. Seamus is your man when it comes to unravelling Cummiskey, Commaskey, Kummiskey ect.
I have been attempting to work on  the more "recent" Caseys in the hope of finding more connections but i think we are still a scarce bunch.

It will be good to see what unravels here.

Regards
Tracey

Hi Tracey
I'm hopeful that Seumas may contact me at some point too regarding the Cummiskey links and as for the Casey's...well I'm a Casey myself so I'm a bit partial to them...my parents had five daughters and my father was the only son...so our Casey's may not continue for much longer ...however Ive named my son Jamie Casey Robinson...so hopefully he'll pass it on to the next generation.....one of my sisters is Patricia Casey, my father was James Casey his  father was James Casey - his father was Patrick Casey - his father was James Casey and his  father was Patrick Casey born 1805 in Muckno Monaghan .....not too many names for us to remember....Good luck in your searching and maybe we'll connect again at some point...Kind Regards  - Christine Casey Robinson

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.

Hi all,

I'm researching a friend's family history.  I have an Arthur Casey, born about 1829/31 in Ireland to Neil (?) Casey & Margaret Kelly.

Arthur was a shoemaker, of 93 High St and other addresses in Glasgow.  He married Mary Malone, also Irish-born, in Glasgow in 1858.   Arthur died in Glasgow in 1878. 

In the 1871 census he is staying with his brother James, also a shoemaker, in London Road, Glasgow.   (NB: the index has the surname as Cassey.)

Has anyone found a definite link to a location in Ireland for this extended Casey family?

[T.Donaldson]

Hello Derek

Its quite exciting to hear from another direct Casey descendant. Seamus has done a huge amount of research on Casey's and hopefully will see your post. I cant tell you much at present as i have bought a new Mac and am in the unenviable process of putting all my fh stuff on it.
I am just off out now but will look in when i get back and if Seamus hasnt seen this post i will contact him.

Regards
Tracey
