CASSIDY family in Ramsbury

[nudge67]

Hi all.

My 3xgreat-grandfather was John Lewis CASSIDY, born 1824 in Ramsbury, Wiltshire. His father was an Irishman, Richard Edward CASSIDY, and his mother was Catherine FOWLER, of Ramsbury. They married in 1819. Richard died in 1827, Catherine lived til 1881. John married Jane Elizabeth DEACON, and they emigrated to South Australia.

I am hoping for some help with these enquiies:

Is there any info on any siblings for John? One chart on Rootsweb shows two brothers, William and Joseph, without any further info.

Were they Catholic or Protestant? And is there any clue as to where in Ireland Richard came from?

John was christened in 1824 with mother Catherine Cassidy, no father named.

There is also mention of a William, also with no father named

There is an earlier baptism for a Sarah Cassidy with parents Edward & Catherine

The 1819 marriage was between an Edward Cassidy and Catherine Fowler

The film numbers indicate that the marriage and baptisms were in    Church of England. Parish Church of Ramsbury (Wiltshire)

Unfortunately censuses wont be much help as he is shown with another family in 1841 - he is a bricklayer.

I wonder though if Catherine married/remarried?

Just found that!

I was wondering whether Richard / Edward had gone before the birth of John & William as the baptisms are not showing a fathers name.
