I think that this is James Cavanagh born Bilston West Midlands and is buried in Swinton
cemetary just outside Manchester. His parents were James and Ellen Lydon Cavanagh
formerly of Co Galway Ireland. James snr and his family moved from the West Midlands to
Pendlebury Manchester in the 1870s. James snr emigrated to Scranton in 1880 followed by
his wife and James jnr and his siblings. James jnr moved from Scranton to New York with
his brother John and followed shortly by his sister Catherine newly widowed and her
family. She died in New York in a tram accident. James jnr returned alone to Swinton
which is just a short journey from Pendlebury. There are living relatives of this family.
