Theletterwriter Posted 4 May , 2013 Share Posted 4 May , 2013 Joe James Cassidy is recorded as living at 21 Ferguson Street, Cowcaddens Glasgow in the 1911 Census aged 32. His birthplace is confirmed as Armagh but no specific location within the county. His wife's name is Jane aged 34 (born County Derry) and there are two children, Kate (2) and Nellie (1). Further back, they were married on 28 July 1908 at St. Aloysius Church, Milton, Glasgow. Both recorded as living at 21 Ferguson Street and aged 30. His occupation was electricity labourer and his parents were Hugh Cassidy and Catherine Cassidy m.s. Shields (deceased). As his ages on both documents are tying up, he would appear to have been born @1878-1880. James Cassidy is recorded on the Glasgow Roll of Honour and residing at 21 Ferguson Street. At the moment, I cannot easily trace him on the Census due to the large number of James Cassidy's residing in Scotland at the 1901 Census (assuming he had left Ireland prior to that time).
