I have a mystery It has stumped me for too many years now, My ancestors even those not blood related were masters at hiding any trails. This one is about my nana's second husbands family his grandfathers name was James Casey b. 1813 parish of Kilfenora married to Margaret Lacy b. 1828 parish of Kilfenora d 14 March 1913. Supposedly James Caseys father was Anthony Casey and mother was Honora Dooney or Droney. Margaret Laceys /parents were supposed to have been Patrick Lacey and Ellen Droney James Casey is said to have died on Dec 1868 in Holliston MA have paid the state to search several times and no record exists of his death. After his son Patricks b. 1847 first wife died Patrick remarried a much younger woman who was born in Ireland in 1876. They had one child my nanas second husband my step grandfather James Casey b. in 1915 his father was 68yrs old and his mother was 39 yrs old. What I'm stuck with is that I'm unable to travel and to unravel whether there were two Casey families or only one. There is a monument in St Mary's graveyard Holliston,MA to the original James Casey b. 1813 but it looks like he may never have even been in MA. please H.E.L.P. I haven't even started on my own Irish Bloodlines
