I know this post is a few years old. I too have a Margaret Cassin from Kilkenny. She married William 'John' Hurly and had 3 sons that I have confrrmed. Margaret was born about 1800 and died in 18 Jan.1865 in Glenpipe, Dystermoon Parish, Kilkenny. She was living with her son Richard I believe and was a widow. Her too other sons Michael J.(1827) and Joseph(1832) were born in ​Castlemoris, Ballyhale,Parish Derrynahinch,Knocktopher, Kilkenny. Other possible children, Patrick(1824),William(1826), Bridgit(1837). Joseph and Michael (and possibly William) emigrated to Ontario, Canada in the early 1850's.  I haven't had much luck finding the Hurly or Cassin name in Kilkenny. A family member has been the one to provide Margarets death record. I have yet to look at all the links provided in the response. Just wanted to see if there was a possible connection.
