John Daniel Cavanaugh/Kavanagh born in Urlingford

My great-grandfather John Daniel Cavanaugh was born in 1849, most likely in Urlingford, according to various records. He was naturalized in Los Angeles, CA in 1879 and worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad. I have traced his brother, James, born about 1871, to Daniel Cavanagh and Bridget Fletcher in Urlingford, Kilkenny through birth certificates for some of James’ children who were born in Mexico. Those certificates listed James’ parents as Daniel Cavanaugh and Bridget Fletcher. Their names are also listed on Ossory, Urlingford birth record for a son, Michael, born July 10, 1843. (Daniel Cavanagh)  James is listed on a birth certificate (Daniel Kavenagh). Both certificates list Bridget Fletcher as mother.

Have not found a birth record for John so far. I did find one for a birthplace of St. James in Dublin, with Daniel Cavanagh as father, but mother’s name is Mary ?Autters.

Michael, John and James later live together in a rooming house in Los Angeles according to a city directory. I have a DNA match with James’ descendants living in California.

I am eager to visit Urlingford in the Spring of 2024. I have “driven” through the town on Google and noticed there are a few businesses named “Kavanagh.”
