Hi MBJ

 

I am just beginning your search.  Can you give us any more info please, names and dates?  When did Peter emigrate from Ireland?  The more details you can give us, the better we can help you. 

 

In the meantime, have you seen the Kavanaugh family crest?

 

 

Marian

Marian,

 

There were 2 Peter Kavanaughs in Wilmington, DE  at the time, plus the name is spelled so many ways, so it's tough to tell for sure who is who.  I found an 1853 emigration record (Tuscarora) that comes close to matching other information.  I am confident he was born in Co Carlow, from church records when his children were christened.  He married in DE in 1861, children  included:

 

Mary Ann (1862)

Thomas (1865) died young

Thomas (1867)

Catherine (1871)

Jospeh (1874)

Hanna (1875)

Edward (1876)

 

Thank you. 

Hi MBJ

 

Mike has been helping me over the last few days.  There are seven people on this Rootsweb site below who are working on their Kavanagh family trees --

 

Mike found this burial record in Wilmington.  Looks like it could have been the first Thomas.

Hi Mbj.Maz Is taking a break,So i will try and help you.I have tried Checking out a census for you in wilmington.There is census online but You need to pay to get info.But there is a site that has some info That is where i found The thomas Grave.It has a listing in There of a Peter and Catherine,i would think this is the same family,as it also brings up the death record.But it shows a Michael Kavanaugh,Also Mary Ann.Im not sure on Peters age This census 1870 Makes him born in 1822 Catherine  1848.Michael was born In wilmington he is 13 and Mary ann 12.If you are able to get the 1880 census you will find Michael possibly Moved away

Will you let me Know if you think this is Correct

Mbj This is the site where the info is

 

Now this is the Catholic Diocese

 

I cannot Find any Kavanaughs Born there.It may be worth Contacting Someone on the Lalley.com site.About Peter,They may not have put all info up on there yet

 

Mike

Mike,

 

Thanks for the info.  I will follow up with the folks registered on Rootsweb.  I am familiar with the Lalley site.  It's great for anyone whose people passed through Wilmington.  Most of their data comes from Catholic church records, which I have also studied.  In the 1880 census, the family was listed as Cavender. 

 

I have recorded some birth, marriage and death data for the Kavanaugh/Cavanaugh family.  If any Kavanaugh group  members have Delaware roots, I can try to help.
