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!

I dont see any sign of Catherine & Michael as a couple, or baptisms for the children you mentioned (Jane: c1841, John: c1843, Susan: c1847).  Maybe they were born in a parish that's not on the system yet (several large RC parishes have yet to be added - St. Mary's Marlboro St, St. Pauls Arran quay etc) Maybe they lived outside the city or county ?

Is there any mention of where they lived (or clues to the area) in Micheal's letter  ?

I also cannot locate any Canavan (or similar) baptisms in St. George's parish or Dignam's Lane... to confirm if they are children of Michael & Catherine or not. Maybe these three children died when they were too young and missed that. Ages on burial records were 9 Dys, 5 Wks, and 9 Dys. Some of my CofI ancestors were baptised months after birth, whereas RC baptisms seemed to generally take place more quickly - sometimes even on the day of birth.

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.

Dublin can mean the county or suburbs rather than just the city... most of these parishes are not included in the IrishGenealogy website.

see attached a recent photo of St. George's Church, Hardwick St, where Michael Canavan married Mary Osbourne in 1871.

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?

..

I would say half to one km - see google map of George's Place to Rutland Place (off Gt. Britain / Parnell St)

(estimated location for Johnston Place)

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
