Hi Tom,

I came across your offer of a free look up for WW1. I am looking for information on a Lance Corporal Michael Canavan. Service Number: 5872 Irish Guards Unit 1st Bn.

Can you tell me what sort of information is recorded on his file - would there be any family mentioned?

Thanks,
Jenni

Hi Shane,

I haven't found anything on Michael's father (Michael) the seaman. Was there a specific place he would have been based? I assume a seaman would not be the same as a mariner. Are there Irish lists of seaman for the late 1700s early 1800s? I couldn't find any on the internet.

No success with Catherine Mulvaney either.

Amazing how a breakthrough can be so exciting and then become so frustrating again.

Thanks again,
Jenni

Thank you so much for the photo! The church is beautiful! I'm so glad to see some of the buildings from that period have survived. It's so sad when a beautiful building is demolished in the name of progress.

How far from Johnston Court would this church be?

There's no mention of exactly where they were living other than Dublin. It would have been great to have the envelope - but I only have a photocopy of the letter.

I have copies of both John's and Jane's marriage and death certificates and they both have Michael Canavan and Catherine Mulvaney as their parents.  Both say they were born in Dublin.

There is mention of Catherine having another baby and Jemmy spraining his arm. I don't know who Jemmy is or anything about the baby.

This is absolutely amazing! I have been searching for years and was beginning to think I was at a dead-end.

Did you come across anything on Catherine, Michael's first wife?

I can't thank you enough for all the time and effort you have given!

Thank you so much! It's almost 1am here, so I'll be off but will check first thing in the morning to see if there is anymore news.

Really intriguing!

I had come across the marriage record but never looked into it because of the brides name. I hadn't thought that perhaps Catherine had died as I found no records of her death.
The address is different than the address I was given from the 1851 Census. I assumed if they had been living in the tenements it would be very difficult to get out.


It's so exciting! This could be a link to much more information.

Thank you so much!!
Jenni
