  1. Derek Casey: Do you believe this picture to be of James Casey? I’m currently dealing with an enquiry from a lady who believes it is of one of her relatives: a Robert Goldsborough, who was a chimney sweep. Are she and I going down the wrong lines here do you think? Mark Tindle, Exhibition Officer.

  2. Wish this photograph had come with a date when submitted. My g g grandad, James Casey, born in Co Monaghan eventually settled in Stockton-on-Tees with his wife Mary Ann O’Brien Casey. James had been an Iron Puddler all his life, on his death certificate its states at the time of his death 1895 that he was an hawker. They lived in and around Castlegate area. There was a large Irish community living in this area. Also in Stockton before the 1900s lived a family called Comaskey, they may be related to my g g g g grandmother, Bridget Comaskey Casey. Would love to hear from anyone who can connect with any of this – please ask poicturestockton for my e-mail.
