Kavanagh James and Pearson Julia of Wicklow Ireland

knoxster925 — 2012-02-10 22:43:40Z

I am reposting my interests with additional information. James Kavanagh married Julia Pearson in Stradbally RC church Waterford 1858 all their children were baptised in the same church. However, the 1901 & 1911 census shows that both were born in Wicklow. Both were born 1830-40. James was a miner. Julia's mother was called Ann who was the widow of a miner she died in Waterford. This is all the information that I have despite many years of research. Can anyone advise me about possible avenues that I can explore.

Kavanaghs of Dingle

cathalgearoid — 2012-01-15 23:41:07Z

Looking for members of the Kavanagh family of Upper Main Street Dingle who left Dingle in the early 1900's or the late 1890's.
These Kavanaghs would be relatives of Nellie Nelligan's of Green Street and one of the family may have visited Dingle from the U.S. In the 50's.
Those who left would have been children of Thomas Kavanagh and Ellen Walsh.Would be very grateful for any information

William Kavanagh and Mary Jane Boyle of New York

Go2doug9 — 2011-10-13 14:32:56Z

The family Bible that belonged to William and Mary Kavanagh is available and for sale. I do not know the seller but I am hoping it ends up in the hands of one of their descendents.

This Bible records that William Kavanagh and Mary Jane Boyle were married in 1881 in Auburn, New York. This is in Cayuga County.

Some census records for them...

Mary J. Boyle, 1880:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/M4NK-8YF/p_251232897

Shows her mother as Mary Boyle and a sister Sarah Boyle.

I seek info on a Felix Kavanagh who emigrated to Illinois, had a goodly amount of acreage in DuPage County and passed away prior to 1865. There is some relationship between Felix and my mother's family (Edward Kavanagh, John Kavanagh), as part of the Felix Kavanagh land ended up with my gr gr grandfather.

Felix is such an unusual name for an Irishman, especially in the 1800s. Have you put together a family tree yet? See my tree KERN on Ancestry.com for what I have figured out so far on Kavanagh in Illinois. This family was close with LAWLER and BUTLER families.

Hello Tammy,
I have put together a multiple page geneaolgy on the Kavanaughs from Ferryland and would love to share it with you. It goes back to the late 1700s and has some pics from the 20th century. Unfortunately, I have not been able to connect to the Bell Island clan. If you send your address to my email themikester669@hotmail.com I will send you a copy at no charge.

Re: BALTIMORE Maryland USA

kkobaltimore — 2011-05-03 20:53:51Z

Hi there-- I've been reseaching the Baltimore Kavanaghs from around that time period and definitely have come across a Thomas that is not connected to my Baltimore Kavanaghs (at least immediately, we're not certain that the 2 or so Kav families that came over around them aren't at all connected). Anyway, I don't have an immigration date, but I do have an obit and can see how far back he's mention in the Baltimore Sun archives (you have to to have a local library card to access the database, which I'm guessing you might not.) Anyway, I'm happy to see what I can find out about him if you want to contact me through here with any other details you might have-- like spouse/children. I'll attach a possible obit here.

Hi i am wondering if anyone out there knows of a andrew kavanagh that was a co-respondent with beatrice bardwell in her divorce. they were together about 1912 through to 1920 and then maybe after that i'm not sure. The divorce records say that one of beatrice's children is his. beatrice did not end up getting divorced from her husband as james bardwell could not afford the amount of money.

Re: MacMurrough Kavanagh

paddysandy — 2010-11-22 17:32:05Z

There is a book published in 1961 New York --The Devin-Adair Co called "The Incredible Mr.Kavanagh". Arthur McMorrough Kavanagh was the fourth child of Thomas and Harriet Kavanagh's children and what made him famous was that he was a member of parliament, sport fisherman, husband and father who travelled to Persia--not so different from men of his time except that he was born without arms or legs! I read the book when my husband showed it to me not long after we met. As the years passed he bagan to look more and more like the picture in the book and now are son who is 30 has the same likeness.The book is an interesting read and would be the best way to follow the family history.My husband was born and raised in Dublin and his ancestors are from county Wexford where Borris house is located.

Charles Joseph Kavanagh

esarahamilton_1 — 2010-11-01 20:40:11Z

Am looking for info on my GGrandfather.He was supposed to hve been born in Parrish of Borris, County Carlo, Ireland on 8-28-1863. I know he immigrated somewhere around 1885, he married Sarah Hickey sometime around then. His parents were John Kavanagh and Anne Hickey according to his death certificate. He may have had a brother or cousin named Edward Kavanagh as my Uncle Ed is named after him.He had 2 daughter's Anna, married to my Grandfather Peter Scheidt and Mary who married Owen Hughes.

Re: MacMurough, Kavanugh, Kavanagh, Cananagh, O'Keevan, Keevan

esarahamilton_1 — 2010-10-30 19:00:37Z

I to have a Kavanagh in my family. His name was Charles Joseph Kavanagh, all though he spelled it Kavanaugh. I went to the public library to the reseach area and found a couple of books on the name. Basically what they said was it started as an eipthet-in Irish,Caomhanach meaning belonging to Coamhan (Kevin), atributed to one member of the MacMurrough family og Leister and perpetuated among his descendants. They are still the most numerous in the ancient MacMurrough lands in Counties Wexford and Carlow.My GGrandfather came from Carlow.
The first to use the name Domnall(Donal), son of Diarmait Mac Murchada(Dermit MacMurrough, King of Leister. Donal was fostered by one of successors of St. Coamhan and took the name Coamhanach.
In Ulster the Kavanaughs or Cavanaughs do not decend from the MacMurrough,s. In E Tyrone some MacCavanas anglicised thier name to Cavanagh and Caulfield. MacCavava is a form of MacEvanny, Garlic Mac an Mhanaigh from manach, a Monk, Around 1900 Kavaagh was being used interchangeably with Kivnahan on the Inishowen peninsula in Donegal.
I know Keevan is a Gaelic spelling for the name Kevin, my nephew's name.
Carlow is a inland county of Leister. The area was under the Anglo-Normans rule after their invasion but their tenure was frail and the real power was with the Kavanaghs and the O'Nolans. The last Kavanagh McMurrough chieftain was forced to surrender in the middle of the 16th century, but the family kept giving the English trouble and the people of Carlow often took up arms against the government whenever the opportunity arose.
As you see I can only tell you about the Keevin spelling , hope this helps you. Karen

I was wondering if someone could do me a favour. I know my great great aunt got married in New York in 1906 but I don't know how long she had been there. She was born in Dublin in 1881 or thereabouts, as far as I know from family history she went to Paris as a nanny. I don't know how she ended up in New York.

I tried to look up the New York census for 1905 but I couldn't do it online. I have her address on 13 February 1906 as being 226 West 34th Street. Could someone please look up the census and find out more. I live in Dublin, Ireland so if anyone needs a hand in Ireland, please contact me and I will do what I can.

Ann was born 1831 and died in Australia 1891 she married Denis King in 1858.This was her second marriage as she was also known as Ann Burns/Byrnes. Ann and her parents may also have lived in Offaly Kings County or Kildare but she and Denis have recorded they were from County Carlow.

Re: William Kavanagh who bought Leixlip Castle in 1945

saiveedu — 2010-07-12 21:12:50Z

Hi, William Kavanagh was my grandfather; he passed away circa 1993. William married Angel and had five daughters: Pamela, Lorraine, Geraldine, Robie (sadly deceased in the 1970s), and Grace. Lorraine is my mother and I am the youngest (age 29) of four.

In the late 1950s, I believe after many requests, Bill (William) sold Leixlip Castle back to the Guinness family (creators of the famous drink), who I believe had historical roots there. The family moved to Ballintyre Hall in Dundrum, Co. Dublin, and maintained the house until Angel passed away in 1998.

My Dad and I were just discussing this history and we are interested to know about Bill's half- brothers and sisters, one of whom was Gertrude (your great grandmother?). Can you send me details about your grandparents and parents because we don't know anything about them? And any other relatives please?

Hi there

I am researching the Kavanagh/Cavanagh family. They came to Liverpool from Carlow. Father was Bartholomew and Mother Mary. My GGmother was called Annie but married to John Lamb/e. I know she had siblings called Patrick, Thomas, Nan or May. Possibly a Mary, Catherine, Bridget born in Carlow too. Patrick's birthdate was around 1847.

Annie was born in Liverpool, UK around 1872 to Patrick and Ann Kavanagh, who were both born in Eire.
The Kavanagh family spent some time in London where her brother and sister were born.
Annie Kavanagh married William Watts at Salford in December 1892 and they had 3 daughters (Ellen, Alice, Louise) and 3 Sons (George, William and Robert).
The family lived in the Salford area. Annie was buried at Salford, Lancs.

Have reason to believe these are the parents of John Kavanagh who came to Ellicott City, near Baltimore, in 1850 from MAYO. Civil records of death (which commenced in 1864) contain the death records of a couple Patrick Cavanagh (1782 - 1872) and Ellen (1794 - 1878) of Cloonerneen, Ballinrobe who could have had a son the age of my John (born circa 1826.) Thanks to Gerard Delaney of the South Mayo Family Research Centre in Ballinrobe who dug up that tidbit! Also I found an obit for MARTIN KAVANAUGH in 1887 who also lived in Ellicott City beside my JOHN and it states that he was born in Ballinrobe. Any Kavs/CAvs out there with family from this part of Ireland. Would love to share info!
