Sorry meant to say regarding the DNA mums came back 45% irish welsh/scottish with her community in Ulster which is a long way away from all her maternal line so i was hopin to start there but it is nearly impossible as it is such a common name..
When james married my grandmother it was in a Registry office
and his 2nd marriage was also a registry office...
The 2nd marriage in preston in 1969..it took me years to track down his wife to discover Elizabeth had passed away in 2010.i ordered a copy of her death cert which said wasnt married but i am 100% it is the same woman.her sister was informant on the DC so i found her daughter or granddaughter and messaged giving the details i had and she said Yes that all sounds correct But once i sent a copy of the marriage cert to her she said sorry i didnt know my sister was ever married i cant help,goodbye
i waited a few weeks months to let the dust settle and contacted her again as my intention is Not to Upset Anybody!! i asked her if she remembered james casey being a friend of Elizabeth's and she said she did not know the name but that elizabeth used to go out and visit regularly with a man named Jimmy!!
I asked her if she could remember was he irish or from london or even australia? she said she couldnt remember and that he had died years ago and sorry goodbye.....that was the end of that...i than decided as Preston Lancashire was 100% the last place he was in 1969 and i have the address.i decided to contact the local newspaper there which i did and they ran my story appeal..not 1 word back ever....i also contacted the salvation army a few years ago and they originally thought our James casey was the same one you found in the 1939 register as the same DOB...i ordered his death cert from 1989 lambeth and it has no middle initials and no occupation it says Date and place of birth 6th Jan 1929 Newcastle
i have contacted the BMD in newcastle 3 times in the last 5 years and applied for james casey birth certs with that DOB and they say they cannot find him :-( and they searched +- 5 yrs...the john casey with him in 1939 is born 1877 i think if i remember and i found a john casey with his exact DOB born in Tyrone Ireland but cannot make a connection as again name so common...i am still trying to find that john caseys death from the 1939 register...Thanks Everyone for your cemments and help i really appreciate it
