CMG1 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hello PRV In 1911, Edward Caffrey and wife Mary Leahy are boarding at 10 Cross Street with my gg uncles William and Michael Heron. My grandfather William Michael Lavin and my g uncles and a g aunt are living there also. Edward's from Longford and Mary is from Wexford on this census. I have done some Ancestry searching on the Caffrey and Leahy families (sadly they do not appear to be related) and have subsequently contacted some of their descendants in the US. Regards CMG1 nee Lavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Holmes Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi Edward Caffrey was my great uncle, my grandmother was his sister Elizabeth Ann who's married name was Holmes. We still carry the name of Edward on. My dads brother was Edward I have it as a middle name and my 7 year old grandson also has it as his middle name.

kizzy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi Colin, I've got Caffreys in my tree too, a dNA test I did recently shows I'm more Irish than I thought and I blame those Caffreys! Seriously though it was good to see your links. Welcome to the group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though it was good to see your links. Welcome to the group Hi, kizzy and Colin, my mother was born Elizabeth Caffrey. My g.g.grandparents, Phillip b.1841, and wife Rosy were the first in my 'Caffrey line' to be born in Ireland. Phillip's father, Michael Caffrey , was a shepherd. Unfortunately I have been unable to establish the county they came from. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
