Related Surname Info: I now know that my great grandparents were Pat Lavin and Maggie Gaffney. My grandfather Jimmy Lavin was one of thirteen. Any info on these families would be appreciated.
I had previously posted that my great grandparents were James Lavin and Mary Dyer. My uncle applied to Dublin for a copy of my grandfathers birth certificate in 2002. Whatever info he gave them resulted in them supplying the short form birth certificate of another James Lavin born 30 miles away but in the same year ( 1888 ). They both appear in the 1901 census. My uncle just accepted it to be right. It just shows that you have to be thorough when researching. Luckily I have found the error by speaking to a very elderly distant relative. It reinforces the need to get as much info as possible from living relatives.
