Ann Bennett - Avoca, Wicklow
« on: Tuesday 23 May 06 12:53 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace the origins of my Great Grandmother, Ann Bennett. The only information I have is that she was born c1855 in Avoca, Wicklow. Her fathers name was Thomas Bennett (from her marriage certificate). She married Michael Kavanagh in Whitehaven, England in 1875. I cannot find any reference to her on either the 1861 or 1871 English census. The only thing I can say is that she migrated to England between her birth (1855) and her marriage (1875).

Her husband Michael Kavanagh c1844, according to their marriage certificate was also from Wicklow.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Kevin
