Hello Everyone! I need some help in finding information on my CAVANAUGH Grandmother. I had been told I was named 'Margaret Marie' the same as my Grandmother but I have found some discrepancies. Her gravestone does say Margaret Marie, but on her daughters birth certificate it says Mary Margaret and on her daughters death certicicate it says Margaret Marvel. And, she was known as 'Peggy". Her daughters birth certificate lists MM as being born in 1889. I believe she grew up in Portland, but I don't have documentation. She married my Grandfather, Albert Thomas LEGGE, about 1909-1913, again I believe in Portland. His death certificate says he was born there in 1885 but I have yet to locate a birth record or marriage certificate. A fellow researcher, did provide me with some information from the Polk Directories: 1897 - Dominick Cavanaugh 187 Chapman Mary M. Cavanaugh 187 Chapman William D. Cavanaugh 187 Chapman 1900-1901- Dominick Cavanaugh 187 Chapman, tailor Joseph D. Cavanaugh 187 Chapman, clk pac Exp. Co. bds Mary M. Cavanaugh 187 Chapman, public stenographer, Chamber of Commerce 1909-1910 Margaret Cavanaugh 187 Chapman, widow of Dominick Mary M. Cavanaugh 187 Chapman (rooming), stenographer for CJ Schnabel The names almost seem interchangeable here. In 1897, my grandmother would've been eight years old. In 1900 she would've been 11-12 years old and too young to be a stenographer so I suspect her mother was, and there was confusion with two Margaret's in the household? I believe 1909 would be Margaret, the mother and Mary M. the daughter. A note of interest: In my Aunt's (MM's daughter) yearbook next to her senior picture, it listed her plans were to be a stenographer. Another researcher did find in the Oregon Death Index (1903-1920) a William CavanAGH died 4 April 1909, Multnomah County. Nothing has been found about Dominick or Joseph D. Also, there is a family story that this family owned the'Portland Bridge'. I don't know if bridges were privately owned then, but maybe a relative was an operator of some sort. Checking the internet for Portland Bridges, I found the Hawthorne Bridge was completed in 1910. The Madison Street Bridge was in use from 1891 until it burned down in 1902. 'Portland Bridge' may have been a local term. This is everything I know. I would be most appreciative of any help with solving the name puzzle and any leads provided. I would also welcome any information on the LEGGE family. I almost forgot, my Great Grandparents were Thomas William Legge and Elizabeth Margaret MAHLER/MEHLER. Sincere thanks, Peggy Johnson
