Casey Family

Timothy Casey and Margaret Murphy had at least two children, possibly more.
The two known children are:
  • Mary Ellen Casey (born abt 1846), Married: John Hayes Children:
    See Hayes family History
  • James P. Casey----------->Married: Ellen Conway          
The children of James P. Casey and Ellen Conway are:

  • John Casey 

  • Mary Casey 

  • Michael Casey 

  • Margaret Casey

The only information available on the children of James P. Casey and Ellen Conway is information obtained about John Casey, and the date of birth for his sister, Mary Casey. 

Information regarding John Casey was obtained in the St. Paul's Parish records while searching for information on the Walsh and Hayes family's and from Mrs. Helen Lawson Casey of Chicago, Illinois.  Mrs. Helen Lawson Casey is the daughter of George Lawson and Mary (Mim) Hayes. Information regarding Mary Casey was obtained from Irish Civil Birth records.


John Casey married Catherine Sheedy on 18 August 1896 in St. Paul's Parish, Toronto, Canada.  The marriage record documents the birth place of John Casey as County of Limerick, Ireland.  John Casey was born February 07 1874.  

Catherine Sheedy was born August 26 1876 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  It is presumed that the County of Limerick, Ireland is the place of marriage for James P. Casey and Ellen Conway, and possibly the place of birth for both.

John Casey and Catherine Sheedy had 10 children.

The birth dates for the above children were found in the St. Paul's Parish records, and/or provided by Mrs. Helen Casey. Of interest to the Walsh and Hayes family is that John James Casey Jr. married Helen Lawson (daughter of Mary (Mim) Hayes Lawson and George Lawson).  John Sheedy and Bridget Mitchel were the parents of Catherine Sheedy.

It is also of interest to the Walsh and Hayes family that the baptism record for Margaret Hayes records her Godfather as a Pt. (probably an abrv. for Patrick) Sheedy (see Hayes section). The baptism record for James Hayes (see Hayes section) records his godfathers name as James Casey; presumably the brother of Mary Ellen Casey.

It's also worth noting that during the review of the 1871 Canadian Dominion Directory for Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the names of John and Patrick Sheedy were located.  The listing is as follows: 

John Sheedy, Laborer, 74 Stanley, Toronto 

Patrick Sheedy, Porter, 62 Power, Toronto  

At this time it has not been determined that the Patrick Sheedy listed above is the same Pt. Sheedy who was Margaret (Maggie) Hayes's godfather, or if the John Sheedy listed above is Catherine Sheedy's  father. The names are documented here for future reference. There is a strong possibility that they are the same people.  The importance of these names is that it possibly ties the Sheedy family with the Hayes family, giving a general location of the two families living in Canada. The addresses are important because in order to review the Canadian Census reports you need to locate the name with the address.

By chance, during the review of 1868 "Irish Civil Birth's", the name of "Mary Casey" was located.  Her father and mother were recorded as James Casey and Ellen Conway.  She was born in Ireland, County of Limerick, Parish of Bruff and town of Newtown.  Her birth date was listed as July 29, 1868. 

The occupation of her father James, was Laborer.  This "Mary Casey" is most likely the sister of John Casey and the correct daughter of James Casey and Ellen Conway. However, there is no other evidence to directly tie this "Mary Casey" to this family.
