Arthur Cashel, or Cashell

Arthur Cashel who married Mary Anne Bevan is definitely of this family, since he is listed as of Bushfield at marriage 1818. But who is his father?
The following entries may all refer to the same Arthur.

• Arthur Cashel,
  or Cashell,
  of Bushfield, Co.Tipperary.
  He mar 15 Nov 1818 to Mary Anne Bevan.
  Her grandmother is Mary Cashell of Bushfield who married Thomas Furnell. So she and Arthur must be cousins.
  See marriage settlement 1818.
  She might be "Maryanne Cashel", living Mill St, Borrisokane, N Co.Tipperary, in [Griffiths Valuation, 1852].
  She might be Mary Anne Cashel of Borrisokane whose will was dated 12 May 1855. Proved 1856. See entry in index. Will would be burnt in 1922.

  
  

• George Cashell, "of Lakefield, Co.Tipperary".
