Hi Jackie Many thanks to all those who replied to my question about " Fond Old Aunt Chassie ". It seems that she is likely to be Chastity or Charlotte who in fact Chassie was writing to. Chassie and Tom were very old in 1906 when Tom was in his 90th year. I have just read all the burials in Mt Jerome from 1905 to 1914 looking for Chassie to no avail. I doubt that she would still be alive in the 1911 census so I will have to trawl the 1901 Irish census as she was living in Kingstown, Dublin. I have been looking for Chassie for 40 years. Perhaps some one would like to share this family with me and we could then be related. Cheers from Valerie in Sydney. -----Original Message----- From: irl-dublin-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-dublin-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of jackie Sent: Friday, 27 April 2007 11:40 PM To: irl-dublin@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRL-DUBLIN] " Fond Old Aunt Chassie " in Kingstown, DUB,IRL 1904-06 Sounds like it could be short for Chastity. Such names were common in that period.
