Stephen Cashel (or Cashell)
Stephen Cashel,
or Cashell.
He was a linen draper, of Tralee.
He mar 1803 to
Agnes Noonan [or Nunan, of Tralee, must be born c.1780].
Stephen and Agnes are party to
1804 case
at Exchequer Court of Equity.
Children bapt Catholic.
Children bapt in Tralee 1805 to 1811.
Daughter bapt 1815 at
Passage West, near Cork city.
They are listed as living there.
But
Deed of Oct 1816
lists him again as of Tralee.
It shows the family had property near Tralee
and also in Cork city, which explains the moving about.
It refers to property at:
Stephen dies early:
He apparently died 1816-1819, since he is not party to the 1819 case.
Agnes is party to 1819 case
at Exchequer Court of Equity.
Agnes mar 2ndly, post-1819, to Daniel Callaghan [or O'Callaghan].
Stephen and Agnes had issue:
- Catherine Cashell,
bapt 10 November 1805
[Tralee RC par records],
sp Catherine Lawlor.
Would be after grandmother.
At mar 1834 she is Catherine Cashell, living Ballinorig, near Tralee.
(There are 3 townlands together with versions of Ballinorig
in Ratass par, NE side of Tralee.
Not to be confused with "Ballynorig"
in Kilmoyly par, near Causeway, a long way N of Tralee.)
She mar 19 October 1834
to
Thomas O'Callaghan [or Callaghan].
Wonder if he is relation of her stepfather.
The
1849 legal case confirms this is her.
They mar at
Tralee RC church.
See
entry
from
here.
Mar wit by
Thomas O'Brosnahan and Maurice O'Collins.
At dau's bapt 1845 they are living Curragraigue, Annagh par, near Tralee.
(Curragraigue is a long, thin townland that includes most of
Blennerville.)
They had issue:
- Catherine O'Callaghan,
bapt 20 May 1845, Tralee RC church,
sp Daniel Wren and Joanna Cashill.
- Stephen Cashell,
bapt 10 January 1807
[Tralee RC par records],
sp Patrick Jeffers.
(NOT Jeefers.)
- George Cashell,
bapt 24 July 1808
[Tralee RC par records],
sp Daniel O'Sullivan
and Catherine Lawlor.
We suspect he is identical with our
George Cashel.
He may be an adopted child, or he may be a biological child of Stephen and Agnes.
If this is our George Cashel, it seems he was back living in Co.Kerry when he joined the police in 1828.
- Francis Cashell,
bapt 22 July 1811
[Tralee RC par records],
sp Daniel Sullivan
and Jane Howard.
- Jane Cashell,
bapt 30 Dec 1815
[Passage West, Co.Cork, RC par records],
sp Nelly Hassett.
She must be "Joanna Cashill" who sp bapt of her niece in 1845.
She would be "Jenny Cashel" mentioned in the
legal case
as alive in 1847, and apparently unmarried.
1849 legal case
says Agnes had two daughters and a son. (Some could also be from 2nd marriage.)
One dau married Thomas Callaghan, which we found above.
Another daughter married
--- Wren. We have not identified him.
Could be Daniel Wren (see bapt of Catherine O'Callaghan in 1845)
except we have not identified the marriage or wife.
The known son stayed in Tralee, so is clearly not our George Cashel.
The case says Agnes had to support 3 orphans belonging to her daughter.
Extract from
1849 legal case.
Shows Agnes Noonan married Cashell and then married Daniel Callaghan.
