Hi Patsy,
I have just looked at your brilliant website on Cavanagh. You are to be congratulated. I
am researching the Porteous family from New Zealand for my daughter-in-law and my new
grandson. Haley's Great Grandfather, married Eileen Mary Cavanagh, the daughter of
Walter George C and granddaughter of John Charles C & Annie Lucy Parker. JJC &
Annie are therefore Haley's 3Great Grandparents. I had gathered most of the names
& dates you have, but not the story of John Charles or the names of his parents. I had
thought I would need to purchase a marriage certificate for JCC&ALP to find who his
parents were. I had claimed Annie as being the sister of Shadrach simply because they both
married Cavanaghs and were in the same area of New Zealand. I also found an obituary in
Papers Past for Mary (Cavanagh) Parker that stated she was a native of Dublin Ireland, so
had decided that was where the 2 originated from. I was very surprised to see the photos
of JCC & ALP on your website, and was won!
dering if you would mind sharing those, by sending me a scanned copy. I know Haley would
be most interested to see what her ancestors looked like. She is living here in Australia,
but will be spending a couple of weeks in New Zealand at Christmas and is planning on
getting hold of any photos her family have, but I am not sure they would be likely to have
the photos of the Cavanaghs that far back. If you have no objections to sending the
photos, my email address is smsoutter(a)bigpond.com. If I can help you with any information
on the descendants from Walter George Cavanagh, I will be more than happy to share
anything I have found.
Kind Regards, Suzanne Soutter, Australia
