Good luck,

Hey :)

Bin and now back....

My partners Father is aged 86 and he says theres a CASHIN Family in Ballyfin. Jack CASHIN was and is his old friend.
Jack is now very frail and in a nursing home.(diddnt have time to go see the old fella)

Father in law cant ever remember seeing his friends Parents though but isnt it a very close name in spelling?.CASHON/CASHIN?

He and brother in law both think that the name CASHON is a Catholic name.

In Mountrath they have both Catholic and Church of Ireland churches. Catholic Church name is St.Fintan's.(again,sorry forgot to find out how old Church is)

Brother in law contacted the reverend Mark Townsend but he was away on his holidays but did speak to his underling.

This man gave us an application research form and also some web sites for Irish Midlands Ancestry.
He advised us to look at the web sites 1st before filling in the form.

I showed alot of locals the 1911 spelling (mountracf) and asked them what they thought it was......EVERYONE said...Mountrath! No hesitation...

I'm sorry i couldnt do more but i was only there for the w/end. A Family wedding.
I did however take a drive through Mountrath...blink and you miss it lol...very pretty place...old too.

I will scan what i have and e.mail onto you.

I still havent finished with my Ballyfin Family. I will be phoning them soon to remind them about all this and see if they can find anything else out. (like when the rev gets back from his hols)

Btw....no one had heard of the 'Judge' name before.
You have to remember that this tiny place has Familys that go back hundreds of years and everyone knows everyone.

Thanks Gerri, hope you have a wonderful hol. safe journey x

The ancient and proper name of this parish is Clonenagh. Formerly the now distinct Parishes of Raheen and Ballyfin were comprised in the united Parishes of Clonenagh and Clonagheen.

Himselfs brother and sister in law are church wardens of Ballyfin church....I'll have a word with them when over there.

Isnt this exciting? lol

No Gerri all born here x

Aw bless waking him up x i'd be so great full if it were at all possible for you to do that x

Were any children born in Ireland?

No never found a marriage in england for them ,Annistatia Judge and Dennis Cashon. There were here in England in the late 1850's. They must have married in Ireland! x

Irish records are hard to come by as the records office was burnt down (Dublin Castle) cant remember what year and himselfs gone to bed now.

Just woke him up..hee hee 1916 was the fire.
Very few records survived.

I think the only records now will be in the Parish.

Did she marry in Ireland? if so, have you got her marriage cert?...which church?

We'er going over there in a couple of weeks time. I could take a look for you.

Irish joker then! lol Gerri do you know if it is possible to search records for about 1835 in that part of ireland?

H x

My partner comes from Ballyfin....just up the road from mountrath and he denies having an Irish accent lol

Only too pleased to help.

I'm so pleased just wished her husband Dennis cashon had still been alive and i had found out where he came from! but hey i'm very thank full you have made my day! xx

Port Laoise is the nearest big town

Good luck
