William Casey

[heywood]

I was hoping his death would be in the local newspaper, no joy, but I did find Thomas Casey, Brownstown fined 5 or 6 shillings and 4 shillings costs for being in possession of property of the military.
Printed Wednesday 16 March 1901 about the previous Wednesday
You can search the Kildare Observer free http://archive.irishnewsarchive.com/Olive/APA/KCL.Edu/#panel=home

Is this the same Brownstown?
1911 shows a Margaret Casey, widow in Brownstown.

There is a death but Margaret Casey described as married.

She should be in 1901 though and I can’t see her.

I think she might be too young also.

I was having a look at her but didn’t get anywhere, however there is this Ellen Casey

This looks like her death

Military Sergeant’s widow but if the 27 years married is correct looks to late for William.

I think that the Thomas Casey death may not be the right man.

I thought I was on to something as Margaret Casey is described as sister to Thomas Miller.
Also in 1911, there is a jockey, Thomas Casey b Scotland living closeby.
I then found a birth in Scotland, Thomas, 1885, with mother Millar and following this up, there is a family at
1891 567/67
Aldershot
Thomas Casey 28yrs Private Royal Scots b Scotland
Margaret Casey 29 yrs b Scotland
Their children, including Thomas b 1885. There is a baby son William, just a few months.

I think this is likely to be the Brownstown family.

Added- baby William has mmn Miller

Thanks for that.
For some reason didn't see  that entry previously.
States 7 years married on 1911 census but see a number of people who put length of marriage as from wedding year to death of spouse.
If ,and its a big if,she is wife to Thomas Casey who dies in 1901 and 27 years married till his death this would leave them marrying c.1874.
On his marriage entry William Casey is full age as is Elizabeh Behan .Elizabeth was born 1873 so ages would be similar if "my" William is son of Thomas and Ellen

[Sinann]

Didn’t see her marriage in Kilcullen Parish, unless it’s earlier. I think I just did the 1870s

Ancestry moved all the military records to Fold 3, yes?
My grandfather served in the 2nd Boer War and I found about 20 pages for him, while the records were still on Ancestry, he was also in the RDF.

No, not all.
Some basic US and UK military records are still on Ancestry. Those include medal lists and service records.

See a Thomas Casey marries an Anne Rorke in the Curragh Camp 7th February 1869 .This is on the bounds of possibility if Thomas was born 1850/1851 which would only differ a couple of years from death entry.
Looking at Curragh Camp Register there are numbers after many of the mens names.Assume this is their regiment ?

Note that Thomas' father was named William. So seems like a good fit.
