James Kavanagh

Hi to all.
Wondering if someone could be kind as to help me please. My uncle on my dads side James Kavanagh is thought to have been born in 1910? a son to Laurence Kavanagh a garage owner in Mary's Abbey.  I have searched and searched for him with no findings. I am told his wife was Bridget ( my dad thinks he called her Bridie..age is creeping in) they had 2 girls and 1 boy and lived in now forgive me if i get this wrong Phil Shanahan flats/North Wall.  He was also a butcher on Meath Street as my dad remembers him bringing around meat to his large family.  Any information will get me mind going again.  Thank you all in advance and take care....

Phil Shanahan House was'nt built till 1930s.
Unfortunately the register of electors which covered 1939 to 1964 would have given all electors over age of 21 has now been taken off line recently but is still available in Pearse St Library on computer which requires a personal visit.

Did he have the same mother as your Dad, or were there other children in the family, you just need to find one of the family to kick start the search.

Hi

Which is his father's brother, or his mother's brother, one of your Grandparents, so if you can give us that name and an idea of when they were born perhaps we can find that birth and than work sideways to James.

Hi
James is my dads fathers brother. 

I do know my dads grandad is Laurence Kavanagh (James dad)  and on a wedding cert he was a garage owner at 8 Marys Abbey.  The garage was under flats. 

Cheers

Hi Sharon
              without disclosing the names on the wedding cert could you give us a date from it to try and establish some sort of a time frame and do you know if Laurence was still alive at this date.
