Henry G. Cashel,
Henry George Cashel,
of Bushfield, Co.Tipperary,
born temp 1805, Protestant.
His line spelt it "Cashel".
See entry in tree by Patrick D. Almond.
He is described as "of Bushfield" at mar 1831.

Children born at Rock Lodge, Co.Limerick, or at Sandville, near Limerick.
Henry and family had left Bushfield by 1837. Still owned it, renting it out.
The entry for KILMASTULLA in [Lewis, 1837] lists one of the principal seats of Kilmastulla par as "Bushfield, the residence of J. Philips, Esq."
The list of subscribers to the publication of [Lewis, 1837] includes "Philips, John, Esq., Bushfield (Killaloe), co Tipperary".
"R. Cashel", of Bushfield, is listed in the "Nobility, Gentry and Clergy" of the Nenagh area in [Slater's Directory, 1846]. Possibly this is just an error for the absent H. Cashel.
It was thought that around the time of the Famine 1845-50, the Cashel family moved to England.
But not all of them: Benjamin was in England by 1871, later lived Scotland. Henry G. is apparently in London 1866, but his widow Christiana died back in Ireland 1885. Douglas still in Ireland 1901, in London by 1913.

[Griffiths Valuation, c.1850] shows "Henry Cashel" still owning large part of Gortnaskehy, Kilmastulla par, and renting it out. No Cashel in residence. There is one large building, on considerable grounds, occupied by "Henry Phillips", renting from "Henry Cashel". This must be Bushfield house.

See Power of Attorney from him, dated 23 Mar 1866, stamped in London. It authorises his son Benjamin to act on his behalf in relation to land at Clonbuy [unidentified], Kilmastulla par [near Bushfield], N Co.Tipperary, "as now in the possession of Mrs. Christina Russell and of which land I claim to be the rightful inheritor".

He is described as "landed proprietor" in his son Benjamin's death cert.
He died soon after 1866. Death not found in [GROI].
Christiana died 17 Jan 1885, 63 Haddington Rd, Dublin (NOT London), age 82 yrs [GROI].
See death notice from Irish newspaper (prob. Dublin newspaper).
Henry and Christiana had issue:

1. Benjamin H. Cashel,
   Benjamin Harding Cashel, eldest child,
   born evening of Sat 14 Apr 1832, Rock Lodge, Co.Limerick.
   See [Limerick Herald, Mon 16 Apr 1832].
   See notice in Limerick Chronicle, Wed 18 Apr 1832.
   He would be after grandfather Benjamin.
   He mar Isabella Bland.
   Living Kendal, Westmoreland (now Cumbria) as at 1871-1872.
   They separated, think pre-1885.
   Benjamin is apparently living or staying, think in lodgings, at 142 Kent Rd, Glasgow, at time of his mother's death in Dublin 1885. His dau must be living elsewhere with wife.
   He is living 343 Paisley Rd, Glasgow, at death 1895. His occupation listed as "publisher's canvasser".
   Listed as "commission agent" at dau's mar 1899.
   He died 5 May 1895, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, age 63 yrs. See death cert from [GRO.Scot].
   Isabella fl 1895.
   Benjamin and Isabella had issue:

   
   

   1. Annabella Cashel, only dau,
      born c.2 Dec, 1871, Stricklandgate, Kendal, Westmoreland.
      See her vaccination cert, Kendal, 13 Jan 1872, age 6 weeks.
      Living 86 Redheugh Rd, Gateshead, at mar.
      She mar 22 May 1899 to William Almond and had issue.
      They mar at St.Cuthbert's par church, Gateshead. See mar cert.

2. (son) Cashel,
   born at Rock Lodge, Co.Limerick, 1833-1834.
   See [Limerick Chronicle, 4 Jan 1834].

   
   

3. Albert Cashel,
   or Cashell,
   Albert Edward.
   1901 census says age 60 (born 1841).
   His brother Douglas is the youngest son.
   So he must be the unnamed son of Henry Cashel of Bushfield, who was bapt 26 Feb 1840, Nenagh [par records].

   
   

4. Douglas Cashel.
   1911 census says age 69 (born 1842). Death cert 1913 says age 73 (born 1840).
   Census says born Co.Limerick.
   His marriage says he is youngest son.
   So he must be the unnamed son born at Sandville, near Limerick city, May 1841.
   See [Limerick Standard, 31 May 1841].
