Below are the links to the 1901 and 1911 census records for John and Mary Gavin/Gavan. They lived in Crossdrum Lower townland.

I also located a marriage index record for John and Mary. You can contact the GRO www.groireland.ie to get a copy of the marriage record which should provide the name of Mary's father and where the Drake's lived. Fill out the GRO form, provide the year, registration district (Oldcastle) and the volume and page number.
