Hi,
Considering how the informant's dialect may have picked up and transcribed  , could it be that McAvetty might be McCafferty ?

McCafferty is a much more known Irish spelling than McAvetty and therefore more likely to be useful to track ancestors.  Though it is a good idea to keep a list of different spellings of the names and search under all as surnames were not fixed, accents played a part etc.
