Cavanaugh/Chicago/Brooklyn connection
Searching for info on Cavanaugh's in chicago/
Info is vague. Patrick Cavanaugh married Elizabeth Slavin or Slaven or Slavie. They came from Dublin although im not sure if it was a birthplace.They had 5 children-Mathew-Mae-John-Patrick-Richard. Patrick the son somehow ended up in Bklyn, who married my grandmother(?). although they were divorced sometime after 1929 but before
1939. Never knew of my grandfather as that side of the family was not spoken of. Patrick the son died 11/23/48. He worked in a bowling alley. Don't know if he ever had any other children. Death cerificate indicates he was single.
Aunt Mae who stayed in chicago died 10/11/88.
She was 99 1/2 years old, never married and rumor has it neither did Richard, however, I am not sure of the other brothers. Some info is that John was buried in Mt. Olivet cemetery-Michael was in army wwII as was Ricard and Patrick. Mathew was in WWI. If anyone can fill in gaps it would be much appreciated.....
