My great grandfather, Thomas John McEntyre was born to John Thomas McEntyre and Mary Lynch on the 1 December 1832 in County Cavan. He eventually left Ireland to travel to Australia where he met and married Mary Brigid Curtin. They both finally settled in New Zealand. Thomas has listed his birth place on a number of records in New Zealamd as Lavey, County Cavan. Atleast we think it is Lavey as the handwriting is not that clear and could be interpreted as Laoy. However, that hint has hit a brick wall.
So I am turning to other Cavan parishes in the hope that someone can help. I have found evidence of McEntyres in the 1901 census for Taghart, Shercock,Cootehill, Corduff, Corraville, Corragarry and so on.
I am looking for assistance in locating any information about Thomas and his family e.g is his baptism recorded in parish records, are his parent's deaths recorded, are there McEntyre people in the parish today? Any help would be most appreciated
kind regards, Maria McEntyre

Thank you for the Lavey Link. Found Owen McEntire on it - I think he is more likley to be relative than the Peter McIntyre. But I wiill remain open as I check these leads.
Kind Regards
