I should have found the Cavan message board before posting this. Is someone able to move it to County Cavan for me?
I have a favour to ask of a local volunteer in the Virginia, Cavan area. My GrGrGrandfather, Felix McCann had a draper's shop at 95 Main Street, Virginia. It was a large property that included a house and a spirit-grocery (run by his wife Catherine McPhillips) with back access. He became bankrupt and the early maps now show the property may have become a National School at some point. Sometimes called Headfort School. At least I think it is the same property. It seems Main Street was re-numbered in 1914 and No 95 may have become No 24.
I have tried to find the property on Google Earth but the buildings don't have numbers displayed. If you have a volunteer somewhere in that area, I would really appreciate a photo or two of this property as it stands today.
Thank you
Carol
