Well, I know there are certainly Carrolls in the Sligo area. I have been going through
the LDS film and have seen that name frequently. The children of Margaret Cavanagh and
Martin Nealon were mostly born in Easky, Sligo, Ireland. One child was born at sea on the
way to the US. I don't think any were born in the US, but there may have been one.
Their children were:
William b. 1867
Belinda 1869
Catherine 1870
Margaret 1871
Mary 1872
Martin 1876
Sarah 1881
Michael 1882
Nellie 1883
Anna 1885
I think there was a Thomas too... born at sea in 1880.
Uh... take those dates with a big grain of salt... I did something wrong because all those
kids came to the US in 1880, so couldn't have been born after 1880.... I did something
wrong there. I might be off 10 years on all of them.
I'm tired just thinking about 11 kids over 18 years.... wow. Anyway, the only info I
have on any of the children is that Belinda married a Carr. This family should be easily
researchable through census records and probably the Lackawanna County genealogy website
(sometimes can find marriage indexes).
If your Cavanaughs are from Sligo back to 1794, you're probably going to have a hard
time finding a record for them. Parish records are extremely spotty for the 1800s, and I
don't know if they even exist in that area in the 1700s. I'll keep my eye our for
you though.
I hope some of that helps.
