Garven / Garvin / Gervin / Girvin

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out

I couldn't locate a marriage record for this couple but there are some baptisms for their children:

Eliza Jane 16th Dec 1822

William 19th Sept 1824

Robert 3rd Sept 1826

John 10th Dec 1828

Letitia Amelia 6th Feb 1831

A John Garvin is also listed in the burials for Tyholland on 16th April 1837 aged 62. 

Please feel free to add your ancestor's details to our XO Chronicles. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others. 

Best wishes

Thank you Clare.  A few of these dates I did not have.  

There is an additional daughter that does not seem to appear in the Tyholland baptism records.   Her name is Mary Eleanor Garvin born circa 1838.   She and her brothers William and John were married in the Tyholland Parish.  

Mary is my great great grandmother.  A few years after her marriage, she and her family relocated to Lisburn, Co. Antrim.  Her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren emigrated to Toronto, Canada.

Brothers William and John emigrated to New York City before 1870.  

Curious about what became of the other siblings of Mary Eleanor (Eliza Jane, Robert, Letitia Amelia).   It is possible, another brother my be a James Garvin born circa 1833 -1836.  

Second Cousin

A James baptised those years would fit the pattern alright given the above dates but I couldn't find him in the list of baptisms. You could have a look at rootsireland to see if you can find a marriage record for any of the children, the girls in particular as they would have likely married in their home parish. You could also have a look at the 1901 Census to see if that gives any further clue.

Best wishes
