Does anybody have access to the 1901 census for Lavey Parish County Cavan
Found out that my great grandfather Peter McGivney was still in Cavan during this census so if anybody has access could they please look it up

Kind regards Jane

Cavan Census info is available on the pay-site www.irish-roots.net - the index search is free :

there are no exact matches for the surname McGivney in any parish. The soundex search option suggests Gaffney - and there are 10 matches for Peter Gaffney. None of these in Lavery...

Looking for imformation on Peter McGivney of Cavan, I don't know the townland.
His occupation was general dealer, he would have been doing this job in the 1880s and beyond if anybody can help me I would be delighted

Going through old posts and found this one - have you already found the information on this family that you were looking for earlier? Since then lots of Irish resources have come online.

The 1901 and 1911 census records are both online (free)-
