Message Board Post:
The Patrick Canavan mentioned in the 1900 and 1920 US Census for Wilmington is my
great-grandfather on my grand-mother Marcella's side. (Gerry Lynam will be better able
to confirm whether my great-grandmother's maiden name was Mangan or not.) To make
things Shakespearean,two Lynam brothers married two Canavan sisters. In 1982 my uncle
Harry Lynam told me that the name was Manning and they were from Laherdaune (Laherdon was
his spelling)in County Mayo.
When the 1920 Census taker was at the house he must've been distracted. My father
Frank's birth date was April 1,1912 but he was listed as being born in 1913. This is
scanty information but I hope it helps.
