Hello,
Im hoping someone can help me find out any info about my x3 great grandparents Rose Breslin & James Cassidy.
I believe they are from Fermanagh in particular Maquiresbridge, Enniskillen or Derryvullan & where Irish Catholic
Rose & James had my x2 great grandmother Margaret circa 1831 & i believe they also had another daughter Catherine who married a Thomas Smith/Smyth.
If possible i would like to know;
1) who Rose's parents and siblings are
2) Whether Rose & James had more children
2) Any children Catherine had with Thomas Smith/Smyth
Thank you

Hi Nathaniel,
No luck with the Cassidy-Breslin marriage record on www.rootsireland.ie/ but Margaret's baptism is there:
Name:Margaret CasidyDate of Birth:
Date of Baptism:08-Jan-1837Address:
Parish/District:KINAWLEYGender:FemaleCountyCo. Fermanagh
Father:James CasidyMother:Rose CasidyOccupation:

This is the only one for Rose who, assuming Margaret was baptised soon after birth, would have been born around 1815. It's the only record between 1799 & 1840:
Name:Rose BreslanDate of Birth:
