In the late 1800's,early 1900's there were a number of Cavanagh families in<br>the townland of Derryfeacle,Nr.Roosky,Kilglass parish.Today ,their houses are either gone<br>or empty.My father was born in one of them and I am still searching for <br>knowledge of his cousins,aunts,uncles and grand relatives.The trail is rarely hot,<br>mostly cold to luke warm.However,with the "Ellis Island " data bank now on the <br>internet new light dawns and gradually the picture unfolds,but as usually happens,<br>even more questions arise.Below is an update on these families.Perhaps there is another<br>researcher who will benefit and maybe fill in a few links.<p>1/Family of Michael Cavanagh/Maria Doherty,m.1870 Kilglass,Rosc.<br> a.Catherine(Kate)b.1870,em.1909 NYC,married name Elmer.<br> b.Patrick b.1877,em.1903 NYC,d.1967 Bridgville,PA.Children Hugh,<br> Mary,married name Toomey,Elizabeth married name Carpora.<br> c.Mary b.1879,em.1902 NYC,d.1963 Brooklyn,married Daniel Francis Craven.<br> no children.<br> d.Bessy b.1883,em.1908 NYC.<br> e.Michael b.1886,em.1911 NYC,married Delia(Adele);children Irene b.1917,<br> James b.1918.<br> f.Hugh b.1889,em.1911 NYC,d.1973 Camden NJ;children Hugh,John,James.<p><br>2/Family of James Cavanagh/Ellen McGuire,m.1864 Kilglass,Rosc.<br> a.Patrick b.1875,em.before 1900 New Haven,Conn.<br> b.James b.1881,em.1900 New Haven,Conn.<br> c.John b.1883,em.after 1901 New Haven,Conn.then Chicago.<br> D.Kate Teresa b.1890,em.1908 New Haven,Conn.then Chicago.<p>3/Family of Patrick Cavanagh/Ellen Murphy.<br> a.Daniel b.1866,em.before 1900 New Haven,Conn.<br> b.James b.1877,em.1900 New Haven,Conn.<p>4/Other<br> a.Daniel Cavanagh b.1882/1884,em.1903 New Haven,Conn.<p>Any help would be appreciated.<br>Peter Cavanagh<br>
