I too have an interest in Canavan's from Mayo, as Mary Solon b. Abt 1812, Balla Mayo,
( the sister of my husband's Great Grandfather's John Solon,) married John
Canavan, having 10 children, ( some names unknown )
Mary Canavan b: October 10, 1842
Martin Canavan b: January 04, 1844
James Canavan b: August 03, 1846
Thomas Canavan b: Apr 1850
Mary Canavan b: April 27, 1853
I understand the family emigrated to the USA & were most likely in Illinois &
possibly in Chicago.
I have found a Mary aged 61 in the 1880 Census, Lake View, Cook Co IL, living with son in
law J Stearns Smith & daughter Evelyn & family.
If there is any chance you might have a link to this family line I would appreciate
hearing from you.
Regards,
Merril Bourne, Auckland, New Zealand.
