Thank you for all the information. To answer your questions - Sarah Casey married Jeremiah Walsh 23 Nov 1904 in Eyota, Minnesota, USA. The marriage license gives no information except names. I am still trying to track down the church records for that parish. In the newspaper announcement she is referred to as "Miss Sarah Casey." Family has always said she was a cousin of some kind. She was Jeremiah's second wife. His first wife's parents were Michael Casserly/Cassidy and Catherine Casey (more details below) and I think that is where the connection comes in. On the census for 1900 and 1910 Sarah gives two different years for immigration 1880 and 1884. (She also gives ages that lead to birth in 1865, 1866, and in two 1870 in the census records after her marriage.) I have found no record for her in the U.S. between 1880 and her marriage that I can verify.
Michael Casserly was born about 1820 and I think his parents were Owen and Jane Casserly. Catherine Casey was born about 1830 and I think her parents were Thomas and Anna Casey. The parent names are from their death records in Minnesota. I do not have a marriage date for them but they had seven children in Ireland before emigrating, the last listing Roscommon as birth place. Children were Timothy 1853, John 1854, Thomas 1857, Jane 1859, Michael 1862, Ann 1863, and Catherine 1865.
I hope this helps.
