Sorry for the delay in replying...
I have one item which I would ask your help on.
Keep in mind that I've posted pretty much everything I know about Cawleys...
It's very frustrating there are no birth records prior to ~1823 *sigh*
My granfather Patrick Cawley was a son of John Cawley/Bridget
Clifford. In the 1901 census Patrick Cawley had his uncle Anthony Cawley(80) living with
him. Do you think that this Anthony is a brother to John ?
At this point I don't see why not except that he must have actually been at least 86
in 1901 to be born no later than 1815 (when John Cawley died)
It is part of family history that Patrick lived for a number of years
with Father James Cawley.
That certainly matches my family history (Honora, daughter of Ellen did same)
I wonder if it matches the family history of other Cawleys? I wonder how many Cawley
families/people were in that area say from early through mid 1800s. The fewer there were
the closer the family ties, I'm guessing.
I'm wondering who were the sponsors/witnesses of various births/marriages - hopefully
we'll have ones in common and that will tell us something...
