Hi - I'm a Cashin from Newfoundland Canada. I'm trying to find out where my family originated - Ireland or Isle of Mann. I have heard my father say they came from Isle of Mann. My g-g-grandfather, Patrick Cashin, lived in Bonavista Bay (St. Brendan's and Gooseberry Island) Newfoundland - 'probably' born here, but I don't know. (I don't have a DOB, but his son James was born around 1864, so Patrick might have been born around 1830-1840.)

Does anyone have any info about a Cashin emigrating from Isle of Mann to Newfoundland in the early 1800's, or even earlier?

Thanks :)
