Hello Vince and welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy researching your family history. It can become a very absorbing hobby - as people here will testify.

As regards Lily Kavanagh, the person I was helping was, in fact, your cousin, JW.

However, don't let that deter you. There are members of this site with extraordinary expertise in researching family history who are always on hand to help, guide and advise you.

Welcome to the forum, Debbie. Can you please confirm that your mum has given you the o.k. to post her name on here, as we don't allow details of living people to be posted without their permission.

Are you saying that the Michael Kavanagh who was 7 in 1911, son of Michael and Rose, was your grandfather? If you're sure about that, then the census records which Shona posted up show that he was from Kingstown, County Dublin, which is now called Dún Laoghaire.

Irish Civil Registration records are available on this link:

This looks to be Michael's birth registration:

Michael John Kavanagh, born 8 Sep 1904, parents Michael Kavanagh, labourer, and Rose Kavanagh, formerly Johnston, of Wellington Street.
Kingstown 2 Registrar's District, Rathdown Union, County Dublin.

Yes my mum as given her permission for me to state her name.
The Micheal Kavanagh who was 7 in 1911 is my Grandfather. He was lost at sea in October 1933 when he was 29yrs old on a ship called the Juliana that sailed out of Grimsby. My mum remembers when she was a young girl being in contact with Wynn Nell and Lilly, Lilly is short for Elizabeth and Nell short for Ellen also the Mary that was listed is in fact known as Molly, my elder sister was named after her.
My Mum as never been certain in what part of Ireland her father came from, Dublin was mentioned, but she was never 100%.The sad thing is she owns no photograph of her Dad.
