Greetings Family Members from Canada !
I went to Ireland in August 1997 to trace my Cawley relatives in Kilfian Treanagh,
Moygawnagh. In Dublin I actually found records [I believe it was griffith's Valuation
that tracked the Cawleys in the area at the turn of the 19th century. I visited a relative
named Mary Kelly who was living there at the time and she took me to the church where Rev.
James was priest in the 1850's. My ancestor Roger Cawley married Catherine Hoban of
Raheen in the 1830's. I think Mark may have been his brother. Roger and Catherine
emigrated to Ontario [Canada]around 1848. He was my great, great grandfather. Have been
unable to track his family back any further or identify who his parents were. I was there
in 1997 [just when Diana was killed]. I would love to hear from some of my family !
In Canada, the spelling of our family name was changed to Cauley from Cawley. When I was
there, I was informed there was still a family member living in Killala. Happy St.
Patrick's day everyone !
Anne Gajerski-Cauley [Guelph, Ontario Canada]
