Hi Molly,
Baptisms show parents as Edward Cassidy and Anne Gannon. Godparents to Bridget were Michael Coe and Mary Gannon
Godparents for John were Michael Meehan (or Michan, not sure) and godmother's name is shown as not given
Ontario, Canada, Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1747-1967 about Edward Cassidy
Name: Edward Cassidy
Spouse: Ann Gannon
Event Year: 1868-1895
Event: Mariage (Marriage)
Religion: Catholique
Place of Worship or Institution: Brudenell

Image says:May 6, 1871
We the undersigned, Parish priest of Brudenell, married Edward Cassidy, son of John Cassidy and Bridget Harman, to Ann Gannon, daughter of Thomas Gannon and Bridget Smyth. Witnesses John Cassidy, and Rosa Gannon.
I have had trouble finding the family in the census so I looked at ON births to see if there are any more children listed. There are
Elizabeth Jane Cassidy born Oct. 22, 1884 Hastings Co. to Edward F. Cassidy and Ann Gannon
I didn't find her in the Catholic records
Joseph P. Cassidy born Oct. 11, 1891 Hastings ON - parents Edward F. Cassidy and Ann Gannon
This is a delayed birth record, dated 1928
The above were from ancestry.com
familysearch.org also has births for
Rosan July 14, 1877 - christening Sept. 28, 1877 Brudenell, Renfrew
Mary Nov. 30, 1875 Brudenell, Renfrew
Elizabeth Jane Oct. 23, 1884 Maynooth, Hastings
Bridget, May 22, 1872 Brudenell, Renfrew
I went back to ancestry to look for Rosan in Catholic records and she is there
with godparents named as Philip Lave and Rosan Gannon
Mary is also there she was baptized Dec. 14, 1875, godparents Mich Gannon and Rosan Gannon
Thomas Michael is also there baptized March 19, 1879, born Feb. 2, 1879 . Godparents Louis Leveque and Maxine McInernery
I finally found them in 1881

Informatn- Timis Labarge, son
Burial R.C. cemetery
Cause of death Pneumonia
Primary cause Lobar Pneumonia - 12 days
Other death on the page was also from influenza and pneumonia so I wonder if there was an epidemic at the time ?
I think part of the problem with finding births, marriages and deaths for this family is the many ways of spelling Cassidy.
There is a death of a Sarah Labarge Oct. 31, 1896, farmers wife, age 33 - Iwonder if she is 1st wife of Francis Xavier- this woman died of blood poisoning after confinement
Annie Bernetta Labarge born about 1901 died March 20, 1919 Hastings , age 18, daughter of Frank LaBarge and Bridget Cassidy
Annie died of Pericarditis - 4 months
Informant was her father Frank
Thomas Edward Labarge born May 6, 1908 died Jan. 26, 1920 of acute lobar pneumonia - 14 days. He was 12 years old, parents Frank Labarge and Bridget Cassidy
So another 1920 death in their family
I think this is all I can find.
