Anne Kavanagh was a writer and French translator. She was the author of a book of short stories, The Gift. When she died at St Laurence Lodge, Sutton, on All Souls Day, 1863, she was 41 years of age. Her funeral cortège from Sutton to Glasnevin was accompanied by a number of clergy and professors - many from the Catholic University, where James William Kavanagh was a mathematics professor.
