I am researching the Canavan's from County Mayo. I am a descendant of a Anthony Canavan (born about 1848), the son of Patrick Canavan. I know that Anthony had at least one brother, Patrick and a sister known as Kitty. Anthony's brother Patrick was born in about 1854. He is said to have come to America and married a MANGAN. I do not know where he settled and I am looking for his descendants. Anthony's daughter Bridget was my grandmother. Another of Anthony's children, Patrick (yes another one) died in the Titanic Disaster. My grandmother and other siblings (Catherine, John and Thomas) settled in Philadelphia. Several of the siblings remained in Ireland, one of which was an Anthony Cananvan b about 1898. Some of his children, however came to the US and settled in MA. I have been told that this Canavan family was originally from Northern Ireland (?) and that they came to County Mayo in about 1775 for construction work.

This is what the tree looks like:
Michael (possible father b about 1800 ?)
Patrick Canavan b 1825/mar Cath. CORCORAN
Anthony b. 1848/mar Bridget KELLY
Annie - mar BARRETT - rem in Ireland
Catherine - came to US 1907
John - came to US ?
Thomas - came to US 1914
Patrick - died in Titanic
Bridget - came to US 1920/mar MURRAY
Anthony - remained in Ireland
Kitty b. 1851/married a RUANE
Patrick b. 1854 (came to US-Married MANGAN


does this family look familiar to anyone. Does anyone have information on Patrick b. 1854?
