Peter Canavan/Cannovan d. 1883 Chicago
I am the author of the 1/4/2000 post re: William Canavan (I've gotten married in the past year, hence the new last name for myself).I'm pleased to report that thanks to a fellow researcher - some of William's info has been located!
I'm now looking for info on William's father, Peter Canavan.I have records from Calvary Cemetery (near Chicago) showing that Peter purchased a large family burial plot there on 4/5/1870.Peter himself was buried in the plot in 1883.Peter's surname is apparently misspelled as "Cannovan" on the records - though his children's names are spelled Canavan on the same records.
Peter was supposedly married twice:first to Catherine (maiden name unknown), who died in childbirth between 1864 and 1870.His second wife (Ellen O'Brien) also died in childbirth in 1881.Both women are buried in the family plot at Calvary.
Any info would be most appreciated.Thank you!
