came up with only one

in 1832. This was from the
East India Register, Bengal.

Edward John Cavanagh (apparently)
died in Fyzabad on Feb 20 1936 and is 
buried at St Mary's RC Church, 
according to the British National Armed 
Forces records.
*
Googled the surname Cavanach 
without any result nor did Fibis.org
show any result, till I searched
under Kananagh. 
The 'C' could actually be a 'G',
unfortunately I was unable to clean
off the grass before photographing it.
