Message Board Post:
My name is Peter Canavan, My grandfather was Anthony Canavan who had an identical twin
brother James who migrated to N America. This seems to tie in with an earlier post.
The family moved from Mayo to Liverpool then Newcastle on Tyne where my father John was
born in 1914. His elder brother (Wilfred) and sister (Eileen) died there (Wilfred at about
8 years of age, Eileen in her late teens/early twenties).
In 1926 the family - Anthony, his wife Agnes (nee Egan) John and younger sister Winifred
migrated to Perth, Western Australia. Dad died there in Dec 2008, Winifred still lives in
Melbourne (now aged 93).
I live in Sydney, no children but my younger sister has four.
