Marriage*

9 January 1832

Bridget O'Rielly; Basilque Notre-Dame, Montreal, Montreal County, Quebec, Canada; The following is a marriage record for a Edward Cassidy and Bridget Riley. We are not completely sure that this is our Edward Cassin, however, the following points seem to make it plausible:
1. The date is 11 months before they had their first child.
2. Parents of Edward are listed as Michael Cassidy (sic) and Margaret Kelly of Queen's County, Ireland. These are the correct names of the parents of Edward Cassin and they did come from Queen's County. However, in 1832, they were farming in Valcartier, Quebec.
3. Edward Cassin married a Bridget O'Reilly. (Riley is the spelling in the church record.)
4. Edward had a brother named John and the witness is listed as "John Cassidy". However, he signs his name as Cassidy and not Cassin, which is concerning. We compared that signature with one in his Marriage Contract in 1835 and there are some similiarities in the writing.

Translation from the French:
The ninth of January, eight hundred and thirty-two, after the publication of three banns of marriage...between Edward Cassidy, living in this Parish, son of age of Michael Cassidy, farmer, and of Margaret Kelly of Queens County in Ireland on the one part. And of Bridget Riley, living in this Parish, daughter of age of Owen Riley, carpenter, and of Ellen Donhue of the county of Cavan in Ireland on the other part...in the presence of John Cassidy, brother of the groom and Jean Baptiste San??..."^4,5

Birth*

July 1811

Queen's County (Laois), Leinster Province, Ireland; This birthdate is based on the age given in the burial record of 76 yrs, 4 months (tombstone states 77 years). However, he most likely was not born then as his brother, Thomas was likely born in January 1811 as evidenced by his baptism on 29 Jan 1811. It's possible that Edward was born in 1810, as his gravestone states he was 77. Census records for 1852 and 1861 though would put his birth as 1812.^2,3

The spouses declared they could not sign. Act read.

Note: This translation is from Bernie Monaghan who states the wife's name is Brennan (parents Thomas Brennan and Elizabeth Boyd). However, the church records state that her name is Lynch (parents Edward James Lynch and Johanna Boyd). The entry in the church records is placed at the end of 1888 and not in the October order. Later burial records and tombstone engraving indicate that her name was Mary Jane Brennan. It is possible since the entry was made by the priest at a later date that he got the names mixed up.¹⁰
