My great grandfather was Felix Canavan born in Scotland and lived in New
Haven Conn.
I am not sure if we have a match but will look at.

I know this post is rather old, but I'll reply to it anyway. My grandparents
were from Crossmolina, County Mayo, Ireland. Some relatives have helped me
with details, but i am not 100% sure of the accuracy. I believe my great
great grandfather was a Patrick Canavan. I'm not sure of his wife's name.
I believe he fathered at least one son, a Anthony J. Canavan (1839-1935) who
was a farmer. Anthony J. Canavan had 9 children in Crossmolina, County Mayo
and they were:
Thomas;
Martin (b 1881) married Mary Keane;
Margaret
Ann (married a McGill);
Mary -born abt 1881, married Thomas Collins- children Winifred & Peggy
(1913-2004); Bridget (born 1884 or 1882, married Bartley Fahey (b. 1884)
with children Marie 1913-1995, Eileen 1916-2002, and Bart 1919-) lived in
Connecticut,USA John M. (Oct 27, 1889-Apr 20 1863, married Kathryn Matthews
and had at least one child- John, lived in Stamford, Connecticut USA; James
E. - born 1891, married Mame McGuinness, possibly moved to Chicago, Illinois
USA and had children Gertrude, James E. and Mame.
My grandfather was Anthony J. Canavan born 1879-1964. He moved to
Connecticut, married Catherine Fitzgerald and had 4 children- John J (my
father), Kathleen M., Edward J., and Helen.
Do we have any matches??
