Thanks to your records I have found the (private) baptism of Margaret CAVENDER Harris, 12/11/1858, Littledean, illegitimate daughter of Sarah Harris. As my 2xgt. grandfather & three sons were the only Cavender (Cavanaugh) family there, I have to claim her as mine. Having found records of her parents, Timothy and Mary Ann, can anyone help me in finding what their future held in store. If my gt. grandfather was the father I don't know but his younger brother, Benjamin, did not have a spotless reputation with the fair sex as the years unfolded, the eldest , Thomas, remained unmarried and worked as a miner in Durham, Did he beat a hasty retreat? Any ideas, comments, etc. as always, most appreciated. ----- Anne Crossley.
