Thomas Casey

[Valerie A Newman]

I am looking for any birth information on Thomas Casey bc 1760 South Benfleet - the spelling may vary a great deal.
On a family tree he is down as a child of Thomas Carsye / Cary b. abt 1724 and Ann (Thorpe-le-Soken), however, I have a record that shows that Ann died before that date,
Ann Carye buried 24th December 1751 wife of Thomas.Thorpe-le-Soken
Any help welcome
Thanks Val Newman

Looked at the baptism South Benfleet on SEAX, Essex Record Office on line parish registers.
There is no family by the name of Casey.
There is one named Caystor in 1760 but they had a daughter Mary. Checked 5 years before and after

Thank you for your time and effort, not sure where to go from here
Thanks again Val

Were they non conformists? I could only check C of E.

What evidence do you have that he is the correct Thomas Casey/Carye? that you are looking for.
Tell us (rootschatters) the last proof positive information you have and we will see if we can help.

You have the death of Ann Carye correct at Thorpe Le Soken.

This is what I have, I am helping a friend and can find no marriage or birth. The surname varies from Cary to Kearsey which does not help. I was thinking that maybe he came from Ireland as there is supposed to be an Irish ancestor

Afternoon Val

It appears they were married in All Saints, Dovercourt on 24.11.1787
Thomas of Dovercourt and Ann (a minor) from Thorpe (her father who gave his consent, is recorded as Joseph Smith). There is no reference to South Benfleet.
I can see no baptisms for then in Dovercourt, and I can see no baptism for Thomas there.
Regarding the baptisms in Thorpe I can see no reason to connect them to your Thomas and Ann.
All of the Caseys were baptised as Casey, no other spelling.
I couldn't find a record for Edward, nor the birth of William.
John who was buried in 1802 was not recorded as an infant, and I can find no baptism around that time so suggest he might not have been one of their children.
I can also find no record of George 1807.

Hi Mark, Thank you for that information.
I have tried to work backwards from the Kearsey I know using BMD and census records . It would appear they moved about a bit and family squabbles caused name changes etc,when some moved to Kent. There appear to be records from a number different of parishes in Essex, so will just keep trying.
 Thank you so much for your time and great effort

Essex Record Office ref D/APsW 1/177  Will of Joseph Smith the Elder of Thorpe Le Soken, Husbandman.
Written 26 June 1806 Proved 26 July 1813.

Mentions sons John Smith, Joseph Smith, Samuel Smith, daughter Elizabeth Balam, Grand daughters Elizabeth Balam and Mary Porter and SON IN LAW Thomas Kasey.

There is your connection!!!

By the way on your list Thomas Casey 12 May 1793 it's a typo he doesn't exist., Joseph for the same date does.

I agree with Olliem that the death of John Casey 23 February 1802 does not say he is an infant notably because all other children on the pages are identified.

I did find a George Kersey baptized 15 September 1805 of Thomas and Ann.

Despite reading my earlier message a few times before pushing the POST button, I didn't make it clear that I meant to say I can find no connections with the Pizzey baptisms, apart from their having the same parents' names.
