I posted message because my John is married to an Eliz. Cavanaugh as well but I have no Shorts in my database. There are quite a few John's though. What area of Quebec are you looking in? My family came from county mayo Ire. and went to Cantley QC. Eliz. parents are Michael Cavanaugh and Eliz. Byrne - I don't know yet whose John's are though I suspect that they may be a Thomas & Winifred from the naming patterns of all five of these 1st generation. His brothers, Mark, Dominic, and Patrick came to Cantley with their families and Thomas went to Ohio,USA John & Eliz son (family of 11) John Jr 1846 married Barbara Grahan (m). Their dau Eliz married her cousin John Fleming, son of my gggfather Mark and Margaret Holmes.John & Eliz had 4c. named Paddy, Bridget, James and Nicholas. Eliz had complications with Nicholas and died 4 month later. Does any of this seem familiar to you? I have other John's in my database but no other Cavanaugh's except Eliz. ! family. Elizabeth C. was born 1810 in Castlebar, Mayo, Ire. Has any of this helped? I believe Eliz. did have a sister Mary but did not follow up yet on that line. Perhaps I should explore it soon. Please let me know what area you are searching in and I probably know someone else who can help. Look forward to your reply.
