Surnames: KAVANAUGH-KAVANAGH-THOMAS RAYMOND-LOS ANGELES,
Hi ...am going to try this again...I left a message last night and it was gone this morning. Cannot imagine what I did ..am looking for information on Raymond Thomas Kavanaugh, born abt. 1891 in CA. I am seeking information on his Father? who married my Great Grand Aunt Tennessee Dixie Martin Belew during the late 1900's but before 1910 Census she is living in and manager of a boarding house in Sacramento, CA and is a Widow...she goes on to marry a Slater and again is a widow or divorced by 1915 as she is living alone in Sacramento doing house keeping. She married a man by the name of Joseph Daniel Corrigan in 1919 and is with him until she died, Now in 1920 Census There is a Raymond Thomas Kavanaugh with her and Corrigan and he is listed as a step son and he is married. so I am assuming he is visiting..then in the 1930 Census Tennessee and Daniel Corrigan are listed in the Census as living right next door to James Kavanaugh (49) and his wife May and listed on the other side of the Corrigans is Raymond Thomas Kavanaugh (39) and his wife Bernadette.If any of these people are familiar to anyone please let me know. Am looking for Tennessees marriage information ...hate loose ends..:0)..thanks for your help, Wendy

Surnames: KAVANAGH
None of those names connect with my family - but my gr-grandfather James Kavanagh was born in Ireland in 1848 and married Elizabeth Smith also from Ireland but they married in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England. they had 7 children and then sometime between 1885 and 1900 James is supposed to have left with an unknown brother (?) to the U.S. and rumour has it that he 'drowned at sea'. The brother supposedly made it to California as in recent years 2 ladies travelled to Birkenhead after researching their family. Unfortunately I got this info 3rd??hand and do not know any more. I live in Canada now (since 1965).

So if you know of anyone in California who has family that originated from Birkenhead in the 1900's that would be wonderful. Sorry I wasn't able to help with your problem. Angela

UPDATE-I found Thomas Raymond or Raymond Thomas..Kavanaugh's marriage license to Bernadette Valdrini, March 25, 1920 in Los Angeles. On it he states that his is his second marriage, he is 29 years old, born in California and that he works for the Railroad as a conductor. That would make his birthday about 1891. However most importantly he says his fathers name is FRANK KAVANAUGH and that Frank was born in Ireland. He does not list his mother but lists Tennessee (his step mother) as his mother...he mispells her last name but she does sign her name as Mrs. D. Corrigan as a witness. He shows up living in Sacramento and working as a clerk in a 1913 directory but that is the only time I find him up until the 1920 census in Sacramento. Hope this rings a bell with someone..Thank you..Wendy

Wendy - Not sure if that could be right - We have lots of Thomas' in the family but no Franks and the funny thing is that James' father was Patrick and nobody else has been called Patrick down their years.?? There are all kinds of combinations of James, John, William and Thomas. Frank of course would have been christened Frances I'm sure - do you know whereabouts in Ireland he was born? We follow any trail we can don't we in this search?? Thanks, Angela

Dear Steven - I think we have been in contact before - I live in Toronto. The information above is my family tree - except for the spelling which is mostly KAVANAGH with the occasional C. Unfortunately back in December I was in touch with a genealogist who gave me the information re the Patrick Kavanagh family from Coolnaleen which I thought was correct as all the dates seemed to fit but it appears now that that is not the case as another genealogist has been able to track down the fact that this Patrick was still alive after James' date of marriage in 1872 and therefore would not have been shown as deceased on the marriage certificate. I have gone in to my records and deleted all this information since. My apologies. I am currently going back into the children of James and Elizabeth and getting in touch with any of the current people who have their names on record as researching the family member and asking them if they have any knowledge of the original birthplace of James. My 2nd cousin , Ann O'Dea, I met for the first time last March when I was home in Birkenhead - she is the grand-daughter of Ellen & John Holland - James' eldest child and she is the one who passed on the information re James' 'drowned at sea' and also about the 2 ladies from California but this was also 2nd hand info. We're all in our 70's now and not many of the family are still alive.

Hi Steve...looks like you are about where I am with Frank...or Francis?....please check out my tree...wendywendy38 or I can send you an invite if you send me your email address...anyway Aunt Tennessee has a long sad history...Thomas Raymond or Raymond Thomas had to have been her step son..as she was married to Frank Belew until he died...in Prison in 1898. She had 2 sons with Frank ...Ray and Merrit Lynn.....then she shows up in 1900 in Redding...widow.., named Belew, with 2 boys..does not show up again until I find her a widow again with the name of Kavanaugh in Sacramento...wish I could find the marriage license...this has really got me thinking...the one son by the name of Ray ...I have been unable to locate much on him...at the time of Tennessee's husbands arrest she had been separated from him for 4 years...per the newspaper stories...but both the boys went by the last name of Belew...I wonder ...could Ray have been not a Belew but a Kavanaugh?
