you cannot use the system FK constraint mechanism for this setup. You cannot
have a "multi-homed" foreign key. You can, however, use before delete
triggers on the parent table to delete records in your transaction table.
The only other way to use system cascading deletes in this situation is to
have separate transaction tables for each parent. You can always union the
tables to gether if you want result sets which combing them.
