Dublin Metropolitan Police [Kavanagh Cullen]&(Kavanagh-Napier)

[Jytefas]

Progress at last. I have finally located a Mary Kavanagh, daughter of my Great Grand Uncle James Kavanagh formally of Aughnamaulmeen (Wexford) and who served in the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Mary Kavanagh of 18 Sandwith St., was born abt 1882 and married Henry Napier, (Tobaccionist) 46 Great Brunswick St., at the RC Church of St. Andrews on Wednesday, 15 June 1904.  Henry’s father is listed as Henry, occupation Brass Finisher. Mary’s father James Kavanagh is listed as D.M.P.

I have searched the 1901 census looking for James, born Co. Wexford, Occupation D.M.P. and cannot find anything.

If any of this looks familiar to you then I would love to hear from you!

....

Ranelagh is Dublin South and back then was a suburb, but most of it was in the city parish of St. Peter. The same parish would apply if the family were Church of Ireland. The RC parish would have been Rathmines.

For burials after the 1850s, I'd try the outlying cemeteries first - i.e. Dean's Grange, Mount Jerome and Glasnevin/Prospect.

Glasnevin has records online on a fee paying website. See the resource topic - Dublin Graveyards
