My ggggrandfather enlisted in the British Army in 1798 and was pensioned out in 1812. The next record I have of him is in 1846 when I learn he collects his pension from the district of Tullamore. I am wondering if he had family in this area. I also know that his name was originially spelled as Cashell, but in later records, his name was spelled as Cashin. I would think the first name he gave might have been correct and that somewhere along the way there was an incorrect transcription, but I don't know. His daughter Eliza, born somewhere in Ireland, would have been born c1820. Eventually, she emigrated to Stockport, England, and married there. She had lived there for at least 10 years when her father came to live with her family. If anyone has Cashells, or any variation of that name, living in Offaly, I would be interested in hearing from you.
