Welcome to Looking4Kin !
My husbands line has some DYERS in it and I have seen it spelled DWYERS also. The different spelling may help you in your research.
Enjoy your research .

Thanks, yes I, have seen the name Dyers, used alot but have not found where there was a connection. I, will keep a look out. It is always possible as one family line the family name was misspelled by a teacher and it stuck for two generations. Its really awful how such mistakes where made so often.

thanks

What were the names of the greatgrandparents who ran shoe stores in New Orleans? 1800s covers 100 years can you narrow that down some?

Neil Dwyer, married Edgard Cassanova when? What info is on the marriage record? Do you have Edgard's death record? What were their childrens names? That might help us find them in the census

In the late 1800's , the store was ran by Larrence and his wife Julia worked thier his son Edgard work thier for awhile. My mom has copy of Edgard's death notice.

Children of Edgard and Niel where:
John b. died in 1944,
Larrence birth date was 1895
Patrick d in 1976
May died 1984
Joesph Bridget Cecila d; 1996

With his second wife mary Alexandria, he had Bertha born in 1913
Margret who is still alive.
But I, dont have the names to the children Niel had that died young. There where suppose to be a few.

Edgard and Niels wedding certificate married Nov, 18, 1891, at St John The Baptist
Niels mom was Bridget Owens( maiden name), and what we can make out her husband was Helmen Dwyer, they where from County Cork Ireland.

Now had some eye opening to my research in New Orleans. The Cassabers, are Cassabur, they are French moved down from Canada, took the long route too. The Dwyers did not come over as a family, John Dwyer came across on his own. Bridget was a Owens, she came across with her family by ship via Liverpool England when she was 7 years old. . the family where Pat Owens 40, Elimer 30, Michael 10, Bridget 7, Mary infant and Pat 3.

Bridget Owens and John Dwyer married in New Orleans. Trying to find out where from Ireland. The Owens family is my next chore, not counting trying to find the right john Dwyer, out of how many hundred came over in the early 1800's. If there is anyone out there who recognises these family members, I, would use a thumbs up.

Traced the Cassanova's to Joesph Cassanova from Spain, who married Josephine Lopez, she was suppose to be from New Orleans, I, have found no records of her birth or marriage so both may be from Spain. Joesph Cassanova came from Spain by ship via France.
I, have found about three different spellings of the Cassanova name, depending on who filed the paperwork, such as the census taker or family.

 
Thanks everyone who has sent hits and other info, you are all great.
