Hi Laura,
Unfortunately, the only info I have for John Canavan is from the 1851 Census in Pembroke
Wales. I have since found out his daughter Henrietta, married John Thomas, a draper, of
Haverfordwest, PEM and their daughter, Elizabeth Martha THOMAS, married her first cousin,
George Boyd SAIES ( son of Martha Lavinia Canavan and Charles SAIES). Elizabeth and George
had 2 children, Madeleine and Geoffrey. Sadly, Elizabeth died either in child birth in
1881 or very soon after. George later re-married and the whole family went to Australia in
the late 1890's. I am in touch with their descendents. Madeleine had at least 3
children in Western Australia, keeping the Saies name even though married to Henry Orrock.
Geoffrey married in South Australia to Annabel PAYNE and had 3 children.
Thats the news to date!
Cheers
Jocelyn
