Kavanaghs in Macclesfield

[KoKo]

I am looking to follow my Granfathers roots but have come to a full stop.

John Kavanagh was born in Macclesfield in 1847 according to the 1901 census.  He was also recorded as John Cairnah who was born in Maklesfield in 1849 in the 1881 census.

I have tracked down the records for the family of  Peter Kavanagh who lived in Pickford St Macclesfield at the time of the 1881 and 1901 census.

Are they related??

Can any one help with any additional information on the Kavanaghs in Macclesfield??

Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for the info.

This was exactly the confirmation I was looking for as it confirms the links between John Kavanagh in Hartington with His Family in Macclesfield and his brother in Buxton.  I had long suspected that this was the case but could never find the supportive evidence......until now!!

Thanks again
