Family History Beginners Board / Re: Cavanaghs

Carol thank you so much for the Family Group Sheet and Descendants! How wonderful.
I would so love to have more time like I used to have, but it will come again (.. hoping)  :)

On the Descendants one, I am the daughter of Edwin Cavanagh Bradfield and Yvonne Gwendoline. My sister Shirley-Anne was born 1948 and died 1949. My brother b. 1951. I was christened Cynthia Nola, b. 1953.

Barry Bradfield's wife Elizabeth Anne Bradfield died 2017 and so did Langley William Musgrave (Beryl Fay's husband). Do you want all the "begats" as well?
I didn't know William Cavanagh had been married before Agnes Amelia, wow, wish I could've told my Dad.
I WILL be back again, promise, I don't have a lot, I spent a lot of time trying to find out where William Cavanagh's family originally came from (I presumed Ireland). Oh and yes, he was an inspector on the Railways, that's what Granny (Gladys Louise) told me.
Thanks again so much, Carol. Speak soon

Hi Carol
I apologise for being missing for so long. So much happened and my dad (whom I was doing this family tree for) has since passed away.  I didn't know there was another sister of Gladys and Florence! Thank you for replying, I will come back here shortly (busy at the moment, sorry) and will show you what I have.
So excited to hear from you, again, so sorry I was gone for so long.
Kind Regards
Nola

Thank you for the Family Search results, Bev  :) I saw the one you found for Florence Amy! I was searching for Molly, our Great Auntie Miserable Molly but ah! She was Florence Amy, how lovely.
I finally!! found my great grandfather .. due to you giving me this! Sorry I get so excited .. the names of the witnesses on the marriage certificate for William Cavanagh and Agnes Amelia Swan <- never knew her maiden name .. match the names I overheard as a child being mentioned as relatives by my Granny. Thank Goodness for pop up childhood memories.. and you beautiful people.

Oh that's her  :)  :) 16 October, yes so she was born here then. Now I go back and recalculate re-research as I thought she was born in Ireland  :) (My family doesn't have her personal documents or, it seems, a memory of them)  ;D so .. thank you!

Family History Beginners Board / Cavanaghs

Hi  :) I'm in South Africa. My grandmother was Gladys Louise Cavanagh born 1895 (can't find place of birth).
The only record of her and her family being here is her marriage certificate (to Donald Alroy Bradfield) wherein I (yay finally) found the name of her parents: William and Agnes Cavanagh.
My problem: I can't find where they are from (in Ireland). I think the records of their birth/marriage may have been destroyed.  :-\ 
My father says his grandfather came out here to work on the railways.. there is no verification of that, that I can find. Sigh. Thank you for listening. Besides saving for airfare to Ireland and doing a "foot search"  ;) .. stuck on a way forward now .. Thank you for listening :)
