Dear Vickie,again. On 6 June I was suddenly called away.To continue. I had understood that Abe was the youngest child of James & Mary,& born in the U.S.I am wrong. It's possible that James & Charles were brothers& that Abe went to S. Australia to help cousins etc.Is there any tradition of Charles having a Wexford background?
I am a Cash in-law.
Cash is an English name meaning box/case maker. In the 1881 English census the name is bunched in the West Midlands-e.g. Staffordshire-& then stretches up to Scotland.26% of Cashs then lived in Cheshire/West Lancashire.
Only a few Cashs went to Ireland over the years.Their main port of embarkation was Whitehaven, the closest port to Ireland, in Cumbria in the N.W. An obvious town to choose. Isle of Man half-way across.Then , in turn, only a few of the Wexford folk came to Maine. There seems to have been quite Wexford-Portland link over the centuries. In 2000 my wife& I met some Cape Elizabeth Cash folk who acknowledge that Wexford connection.The ancestors of those Cashs were in Portland as far back as the 1690s. Cash Corner & all that.
On a personal note, there is quite a Cash clan in Victoria & in South Australia, descendants of the Patrick who came here from the U.S. in 1850. Pat Cash,the 1987 Wimbledon champion, is my wife's nephew. I , Sid Ingham, am nearly 80 & an Aussie battler trying , e.g., to understand the Maine connection. I am a retired University historian for me sins. Anyway all the best to my wife's many distant relatives in America. May discover one day who some of them are. Cheerio from Sidney Matthew Ingham.
