Researching Canavans and McCues in St. Louis, MO
Looking to correspond with Canavan and McCue family members; researching John Canavan who lived in St. Louis in the 1880s and his wife Mary McCue born in MO ca 1860/61. She died 27 Oct 1892 and was a servant, at age 20 before her marriage, on Washington Avenue. She lived w/ an Irish Couple so perhaps she was an orphan. I believe our John Canavan's parents were born in Galway. Another common Irish name! I believe John & Mary were married in St. Louis by 1881 at the birth of their first child. I haven't had a chance to do serious research on their marriage record, but I can't find John's parents and don't know where he died... one of his sons was my husband's grandfather and we know pretty much about that generation, but not back to John and Mary! Anyone researching this family I'd love to share and hope you could help me!

Do you have a death record for Mary, or know where she is buried? What are the names of their children? Do you believe John Canavan died before 1900?

HI and thanks for the reply, my answer will be quick, need to leave in a few moments. Mary died 27 Oct 1892 in St. Louis and I haven't yet tried to get a death record. We have no idea where she might be buried. Children were Edward Joseph, Mary Vincent, William and Margaret Vincent, Vincent being both of the girls' middle names we think... at least Margaret was. We have info about the children but to my knowledge not Mary ... thanks again, in haste! Leslie
