Hi all,
I am trying to find information about Elizabeth Kavanaugh from possibly Old Perlican or surrounding area. She married Martin Byrne from Great Paradise in 1874 at the age of 22. They lived in Great Paradise and had a number of children including my grandmother Ethel-Doris Byrne who married John (Jack) Healey and resided in Argentia until the forced resettlement that occurred when the US naval facility was constructed. I have not really been able to find much information – I know that there was a family of Kavanaughs in Old Perlican based on the 1935 census (John Kavanaugh (his mother living with him age 73 at the time of census) and that my grandmother and her siblings spent time in Old Perlican as children so can only assume that this family was related in some way but of course the census records are not always correct. Thanks for any information that you might have.
