thanks again mutley this also seems too fit i think i,ll apply for the marriage cert ...kev

There is a marriage registration with a James Curley and a Bridget Gaven in Walsall in June 1888 on the same page.
I wonder if it would show Michael as the father of Bridget?
In which case, she may have gone to the home of her parents to have baby John.

I wonder how close the birth and marriage dates were?

[kev1965]

its definitely a possibility and worth keeping in mind thanks again for some very interesting stuff cheers...kev

I might be jumping the gun here but on Family Search there is a birth registration of a Michael Gaven on 1 Oct 1842 in Galway. Parents are Thadeo (Thomas?) Gaven and Celia Clarke.

Not sure though, as there are other Michael Gaven baptisms.
