Gavaghan's from Ireland, Wigan, and Australia
I have Catherine Gavaghan (Gavikin and Cavigal in the 1861 and 1871 Uk census) born about 1816 in Ireland.
I believe her son was John Gavaghan born about 1838.Another possible daughter is Bridget born about 1846.Both children were born in Ireland.
John Gavaghan married Margaret (born about 1838).Don't know Margaret's maiden name or if they were married in Ireland or England but do know they were married before 1861.
All of the above appear in the 1861 and 1871 census in Wigan, Lancashire, England along with John and Margaret's children.I have also found John and Margaret on the 1881 census.
Their children included Mary A. (1855), James (1859), Catherine (1860), Nannie (1862), Daniel (1867), Elizabeth (1872), Jane E (1877).
Firstly does anyone know what Nannie is short for?
And do these names sound familiar to anyone?
