« on: Tuesday 12 June 12 23:25 BST (UK) »Mary Kavanagh b 10 Jan 1916 and Winifred Kavanagh b10 Dec.1923
Looking for information on sisters Mary and Winifred Kavanagh daughters of James and Edith (Kelly) Kavanagh. Family lived for a time at 90 Dean Lane, Moston and later at 202 Kenyon Lane, Moston, Parents James a retired Railway Signal Man d 30 Dec. 1952 and Edith d 27 Mar. 1953. Both are interred in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Moston Lane, Manchester. Is possible Winifred did not marry.
I have been hitting a brick wall on this for a while now, Can anyone help me?
Kind Regards
John G.
It might help you to know that 90 Dean Lane and 202 Kenyon Lane were the same house. About 1950 (I was born 1944 on Dean Lane not too far from number 90) Kenyon Lane which ran from Moston Lane was extended, taking in what had been Dean Lane as far as the Newton Heath border. 112 was added to the numbers of the addresses renamed Kenyon Lane. The part of Dean Lane which still exists is in Newton Heath.
I believe the change was made to avoid confusion as it appeared there were two Dean Lanes, one at each side of Newton Heath Railway station where the lane had been blocked, many years before I was born.
It might interest you to know that the house was a little more than a few minutes walk from St. Joseph's cemetery.
