Hi Mike,
Have checked my tree and there's no Michael Cadden married to Julia Cadden. My Julia
Beggan also came up as Judith Beggan on her birth records so Judith must have been used as
the "proper" name on birth records & then got changed after that. The
details from Castlerahan you got for Cavan (this would still be Munterconnaught) seem good
but I'm wondering why you think the Lurganboy area fits when you don't know where
in Ireland they came from? Also, bear in mind that there is a Lurganboy, Manorhamilton,
Co. Leitrim but only 13 Caddens born there and no Michaels. There is a Lurganboy in
Donegal but Donegal not on Irish Family History website yet. According to the IFH website,
most Caddens came from Mayo 383, next Cavan 174, next Fermanagh 157, next Armagh 141, next
Antrim 124, next Meath 105 with fewer figures in rest of country.
If you feel this family in Cavan matches, you should check the census records of 1841 for
Munterconnaught which will give you a snapshot of this family before they left for the
USA. If the names match, it looks likely. Maria would be Mary. The 1841 census for Lurgan
and Munterconnaught (check both) are held at Johnston Central Library, Co. Cavan

Sorry I can't be of anymore help, cheers, Julie.
