Catherine CASSIDY 
Catherine was born in 1844 in Ireland.1 Catherine's father was Peter CASSIDY and her mother was Bridget (Biddy) DEEGAN. Her maternal grandparents were Denis DEEGAN and Catherine KENNY. She had two brothers and four sisters, named Peter, Denis, Bridget, Ellen, Mary and Rosanna. She died in New York, USA.2 General Notes
written by Mary Lennon Arefah.My g-g grandfather Peter Cassidy met/married Catherine Boyle (from Louth) in NYC 1873 ..he lived at 300 W. Houston at the time of his marriage. This is his marriage info. 100%
Then there is Catherine Cassidy Kenny's info. This, too, is mine. She is his sister. 100%
Below that I have two Cassidy deaths listed but they do not match my dates for my g-g-g grandfather (due to age of his children) but a lot does!! So I am not convinced that even with errors in age that he is mine. But because "a lot does!" I do, however, keep going back to this Peter and Bridget Cassidy who died in ny/nj. Even the dates he was in US match with when the Cassidys came over.....1871/1872!
I could probably find out more info if I could track the son in law (married to daughter) of Cassidy mentioned in obit but finding John Murphy in NJ/NY during that time is like finding a needle in a haystack. Or a Smith! But it would be nice to know Cassidy daughter's name.

Catherine Confrey grave, Section 1 West, Range 9, Plot JJ Grave 11
They confirmed that Catherine Confrey died March 8, 1911 is buried there.
There are 6 bodies in this plot.
This was purchased by Catherine Kenny June 10, 1875. So she purchased the gravesite while she was still Kenny (before she married Confrey)
Maybe she was burying a child then.
They couldn't give me more info except I persisted and said I was wondering if there was a death there for 1890 and 1893 in that plot and the person in the office confirmed this. But they could not give me names and said it would require research.
So I am guessing that Bartholomew Kenny (Catherine's first husband) who died 1890 and I found a death for a Richard Kenny (17 year old ) august 14, 1893 are buried here.
