    1. [CASS] Ralph Dimmock Cass

    3. My wife's cousin Mollie Cass died a few years ago, and the world is a little less fun now that she's no longer with us. I first met her more than 50 years ago, and grew, like everyone else in the family, to love and admire her merry & brave approach to life. Never did she, in our hearing, mention having any siblings, and so we were ASTONISHED to find a brother, Ralph D. Cass, mentioned in a recently uploaded WorldConnect file. A little bit of research threw up his birth registration (3rd Qtr 1900 at Reading, Berks, England, (Volume 2c, Page 365), as Ralph Dimmock Cass - Dimmock being his & Mollie's mother's maiden name. So he did indeed exist! Next we looked for either his marriage or death using various sources - nothing. Did he emigrate? Perhaps, so we tried the newly available Outgoing Passenger Lists 1890-1960, and Bingo! Last name/First name/Born/Departure/From/To/Port CASS/Ralph Demmock/1901/1919/Liverpool/Peru/Callao (Lima) CASS/Ralph Dimmock/1900/1923/Bristol/Panama/Cristobal And there, for the moment, the trail runs cold - except for a possible US Social Security Death Record in 1979, in Montgomery, Ohio . . . . Can anyone help ?? Don
