Michael Cassidy and Ellen Dwyer
I'm trying to find any information I can on the Cassidy family in County Clare and the most information I have is on Michael and Ellen Cassidy. Michael was a farm overseer and he married Ellen Dwyer in Ireland before sailing to Sydney, Australia on the "Charles Kerr", arriving on 8 January 1839. As far as I can determine, Michael had at least two sisters, Mary born 1814, and Bridget (birth date unknown). Their father was Stephen Cassidy born around 1796 who was a farmer. Bridget is my Great Great Great Grandmother.
Ellen Dwyer is the sister of Johanna Dwyer who married Michael McCreagh. The McCreagh's arrived in Australia in 1841 but had three children born in Ireland, Francis born around 1805 (a shoemaker), Terence (a tailor) and Mary who died on the voyage out to Australia.
Any information on anyone listed here would be very much appreciated.
