Have you contacted the Lancashire opc project.
Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk Project -www.lan-opc.org.uk
I have never used this particular opc project but it is regularly recommended and free to use.
If it doesn't contain any info for Joseph it may be able to suggests other places to look.

He is in the obituaries in the Catholic Herald, 20 January 1989

"Fr Joseph Cassidy was born in Salford in 1912...."

So far the only likely death I have found is
January 1989, Manchester
Joseph Cassidy
born 1 Dec 1912

Date of birth a little different.

Given that the obituary said he was ordained in 1917, 5 years after his birth, it is quite possible they maid a mistake with his DOB too!
