Thank you Steven.
I got Cavan off one of the Scottish census forms. These are the only bits of information I
have, apart from her name on her son's wedding certificate. I don't know where she
or her husband, John McEvoy, died, but I'm assuming that it was in Scotland as she was
still there in 1901, and her family remained in Scotland. She died sometime between 1901
and 1940. At the moment I can't see any connection to Wicklow though.
I haven't seen that spelling before, Cavanaugh. I've tried searching with a K
instead of C, and a couple of other variations so I think I'll try this one as well.
I have a feeling that Dorcas was a fairly common name in some areas, or at least not
uncommon.
