Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, fomer Governor of Victoria, Australia was related to the Gavans through his maternal family from Co. Monaghan, Ireland. His maternal grandfather was Patrick Gavan "King of Aughabog".
Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famous Antarctic explorer's mother was Henrietta Letitia Sophia Gavan. He was born in Co. Kildare, Ireland. Does anyone know if these two Gavan families are related?
