Wexford Kavanagh's in Dublin

Hi Carol
            if you look at Robert's service pay records there is a gap from 1919 to 1923
The D M P were an unarmed force unlike the R I C who were armed and it appears that the D M P were armed around 1919 due to the revolution and this made them a target for the revolutionaries resulting in 12 D M P officers being killed 1919 to 1921 if you note some of the officers on the same page as Robert also resigned in 1919

the following two articles will sum up the situation at that time the second one explains more on the D M Ps stressful situation

Robert's father was more than likely an R I C  man

For jytefas re reply 7

have you looked at the children's birth certs,you are missing out on vital information
James Kavanagh's marriage as you know does not give his occupation but address of Castle yard
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1874/11245/8123991.pdf
His childrens birth certs however show that he was a policeman till 1877 when he must have retired as he was a dairyman and then on Margarets birth cert August 1880 he is listed as deceased
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1880/02853/2045508.pdf

he died in May 1880 as a dairyman
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1880/06479/4864011.pdf

there is a death in 1882 for an Ellen Kavanagh Widow of 133 Townsend St at the Whitworth Hosp whether this is his wife or not would be uncertain but both are buried Glasnevin
age 60 on her death cert and age 55 on Glasnevin index

Mary E who married Henry Napier is obviously Mary Ellen born 1877
