I am researching my family tree and in the course of doing so I am trying to reconstruct the carious Gavan / Gavin families who lived in the Swinford area around 1850. There were 12 Gavan families at that time.

1) Michael Gavan, Townland - Brackloon
2) Anthony Gavan, Townland - Carn
3) Martin Gavan, Townland - Carn
4) Thomas Gavan, Townland - Faheens
5) John Gavan, Townland - Tawnaglass,
6) James Gavan, Townland - Tawnaglass,
7) Martin Gavan, Townland - Tullynahoo,
8) Michael Gavan, Townland - Tullynahoo,
9) Thomas Gavan, Townland - Tullynahoo,
10) Patrick Gavan, Townland - Tullynahoo
11) Bridget Gavan, Townland - Ardhoom, Meelick
12) Patick Gavan jun, Townland - Tullynahoo

Are you related to any of the above or do you have information which expands any of these families?

Many thanks
Anthony

This is really exciting

What do you know about Bridget

My latest info was that she went to England-married there and after that I can find no trace of her

I really hope we are talking about the same person.

Have you a tree that I can reference to see her family.

Have you made contact with any other members of her family?

Siblings of hers would have emigrated to Philadelphia.

I am really interested in knowing more as Bridget is one of the missing links in this family.

Looking forward to hearing more
