Oh, so much to update, but not sure it helps anybody or not. My gg grandfather, James
Cavanaugh, died before PA kept good death records. I managed to get his sister's
death record, and I finally got parent names: Michael Cavanagh and Bea (Bridget) Cawley.
As it so happens, I had gone through all of Kilglass Parish records from County Sligo
(microfilm #1279204) and wrote down all of the Cavanaghs, then grouped them by same
parents. I HAD Michael and Bea. Horray!

|-2. Mary CAVANAGH (a.1 Sep 1839-Kilglass Parish,County Sligo,Ireland)

Father's first name not readable on record, but think Mary belongs to this family.
Likely died young as has sibling of same name.
