I am trying to find information on the Mcavady sisters. I believe there were 5 maybe 6.

2 of which were AGNES B1904 & FRANCES ELIZABETH B1909. This is confirmed. Agnes married Francis Ferguson 1927. Frances married Albert Worrall 1929 in Wolverhampton

Others could possibly have been HANNA, ROSE, THERESA (TERESA) EVA (EVE), possibly a MARY & AN ANNIE

So far, I believe all of them married (if i have the right lineage)



I believe they would have lived on Fisher St Oldham and attended St Marys RC Church.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Hello to you both. I cant put into words how much I appreciate all this help. Ive been onto my Godfather Paul Ferguson (in my tree) and Im amazed excited and emotional. I grew up without knowing my family. Now all of a sudden Im going to be reunited with an Aunt (Ona saunders) at christmas - the best present ever!

once again many thanks. now i want to find out if the rest of the 6 sisters married - think i will struggle!

I already know about 2 - Frances my nan and Agnes my godfathers mum. Not sure how to find the details on the others!

Paul...No brick wall...!!!
Nicholas married Mary Walsh in Oldam 1867...You should find them on the 1871 Census..I dont have it so cant check for you...Possibly both sets of parents are also on it so worth a check...

Morning erin, Will check but I believe Nicholas was 1st Mcavady in Oldham from ireland so i dont know where to look for his birth details and its the male line im interested in. I will take a look on the 1871 census tho...not sure how to search irish records tho

Eringobragh1916

Eringobragh1916 Report 14 Dec 2009 09:23

Paul...Its a case of finding out all you can before you begin searching in Ireland...
If Nicholas married in 1867 then the 1871 Census may possibly show where he said he came from in Ireland..
His Marriage Cert may give you some clues ...who were the Witness'...what was his address was at the time...
Also bear in mind the Surname may have been altered ...there can be various permutations...McEvitty/McFady/....McVitty...who knows..?
