Looking for James Cavanagh born in Tynagh 1780

GalwayTynagh (Galway)

My GGG grandparents were both born in Tynagh about 1780. James Cavanagh and Honor Connors. They married and had one child, a son, Thomas born 1803 who was convicted of Whiteboy and transported in 1832 on the ship Eliza to NSW, Australia.

His wife Jane Susan (Meade) and children followed several years later. I am assuming James and Honor were buried in or near Tynagh.I don't have an marriage details either or an exact birth date for either of them. Everywhere I look I find about 1780 for both.

Any information you could find would be fanatastic as I seem to have hit a dead end at the moment.

 

Thanks

Hi, I am also looking for James and Honora Cavanagh. Their son Thomas was sent to Australia for "whiteboy crimes"

I am his 3rd great grand-daughter and I live in New Zealand.
