Trying to find Cavanagh

I am trying to find date and place of birth of Thomas Cavanagh. All I know is that he was born in Ireland and married Sarah Black in Cleaton, Cumberland on 27 October 1886. They moved to Hamilton, Lanarkshire where he was a coal miner and they had a number of children who where then put into an orphanage so that Thomas and Sarah could go to America. Any information on these names would be a great help. Thanks in advance. |

I wonder if this is your great-grandmother in 1901? |

So this would be the family in 1891, which also matches Paul's family: |

You can probably disregard the opening post Greg - there is no marriage in 1886 for Sarah Black in Cumberland - nor for Thomas Cavanagh! I also think the place Cleaton should be Cleator. |

This could perhaps be the marriage Paul meant ??: |

Could be the marriage ArgyllGran, but he had an exact date - obviously incorrect, I didn't check years either side. Should have done, as Whitehaven is the correct registration district for Cleator. |

Puzzling to say the least..... |

Looking at the image on FreeBMD, it definitely says Sarah. |

Well, wonders will never cease - Ancestry has actually transcribed it right for once ;-) |
