Hi David We have been searching for the family of Martin GAVIN from Islandeady, County Mayo and have found many GAVINs that we could not "claim". Have a look at our website maybe you will see something of interest to your family www.gavinsofmayo.com Happy hunting Margaret ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Hoffman" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2002 12:07 AM Subject: [MAYO] Patrick Gavin, Mary Navin > > Hello everyone, > Looking for any possible leads to information about my g-g-g grandfather Patrick Gavin. He was born in County Mayo, most likely between 1815-1830 and most likely lived in Ballycroy. Believe his son Patrick was born in County Mayo on March 16, 1850. Also believe his daughter Bridget was born October 8, 1852 and another daughter Mary (my g-g grandmother) was born on February 15, 1854 in County Mayo. Patrick Gavin's, the elder's, wife may have been Mary Navin or a woman named Bridget who was born around 1821. > Another name associated with Patrick Gavin is Ellen Calvey who lived in Ballycroy as noted in a letter dated 1896. She was an aunt to Patrick Gavin's (the younger's) daughter (also named Mary). Ellen Calvey was married to Ned Calvey, who had passed away before 1896. > Thanks for any help you can provide... my son's name is Gavin so has special interest. > - David Hoffman > > > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
