Hello
I am researching Mary Kavanagh born 18 Dec 1873, baptised 20 dec 1873 daughter of Thomas Kavanagh and Mary Dunphy. I would appreciate any information of Mary's life in Kilmacow prior to moving to the UK by 1900. Did she have siblings, what school did she attend, Kavanagh and Dunphy relatives etc; anything that will allow me to build a picture of her early years.

I looked at the 1901 census and found one Kavanagh family in Kilmacow. The fathers name was Thomas, however, the mother was Ellen and they had a daughter Mary age 22.

I assume this family was related to your Kavanaghs. Did mary emigrate with her entire family?

Hello Roger
Thanks for making contact: I believe the family you quoted emigrated to America. I have located the 'Mary Kavanagh' I am researching in Wales by 1900 (marriage). She married Thomas Lewis and they remained in Wales. Its very likely the two are related but as yet I have little detail to go on.
Regards, Roy
Mary Kavanagh born 20/12/1873 had one sister Brigid born 30/03/1867 and four brothers James my grandfatrer 29/03/1869 John 05/07/1870, Patrick 29/05/1872, Nicholas 17/11/1875.
