Hi Paul. I have got some new info about this family of Wicklow Canavans. My GGGF was a
Peter Canavan of the Avoca area. He stayed in Ireland, his brother Daniel b1826 came to
Australia. I believe the John (1833ish) who married Sarah Trainor was another brother.
He too came to Australia. The Peter who stayed in Ireland had a son, Peter, who came to
Australia later. The parents of Daniel, Peter and John were John Canavan and Ellen (or
Elinor) Kinsella married in 1820. I have birth records for 2 other siblings: William and
Alice. No Michael yet. Could Michael (1830) have been a cousin? I have a Michael who is
about the same age as John Canavan the elder. i.e. about 1800.
