      Surnames:

      My Cavil family branch now begins in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England with George Cavil, Sr. born 1754 to William Cavil and his wife. Data on William and his wife is not known yet.
      George Cavil, Sr. married Elizabeth BRYAN. Elizabeth was born 1765 in Hive, Yorkshire, Eng. Her father's name was John and that's all we know about her. George, Sr. and Elizabeth married in Eastington, Yorkshire, England on 23 July 1788. Among other children was George, Jr. born 1792 in Sandholme, Yorkshire, England. George, Jr. married Diana GIBSON. Diana was the daughter of Robert Gibson and Mary FENBY both of the mid-1700's England.
      George, Jr. and Diana brought their young family to Metis, Quebec, Canada in 1820. On board the same vessel was the William CRAIG family of Paisley, Scotland. George Jr's and Diana's daughter Anqelique "Ann" Cavil married William Craig's son Alexander Craig. Alex and Ann had fourteen children, all born in Quebec, Canada.
      I have lots of information on my Craigs. I am very interested in learning more about Angelique Cavil's ancestors, the Georges (Sr. and Jr.) and William of Yorkshire, England. If you know of my Cavils, or have hints, tips and suggestions about researching in Yorkshire, England (I hear it's a big place) please contact me at [email protected]

      Thank you and Happy Holidays!

      Surnames:

      My mother was a Cavil. George and Diane,s son, John Cavil and his wife Janet Craig moved from Little Metis, Quebec to the Town of Lawrence near De Pere, Wisconsin in the mid 1850s. His son, William Cavil, died in the War between the States. John's grandson, William " Buckskin" Cavil, was a colorful character that live into the 1960's. I have details these and other descendants of George if you care to communicate. There are still many Cavils living in the De Pere and Green Bay area. I do not have bonified information of the ancestors before George and would like verification. I have Canadian Census Records of the family from 1820 through George's death in 1869 and Janet's death in Wisconsin in 1872.

      Surnames:

      I too am descended from George and Diane Cavil through their son John and his wife Janet. My line of descent is through their son Robert and his first wife Marcelline Boyer.

      I show George Cavil and his wife Diana Gibson, both born in 1789 in Yorkshire. I have George's father as William Cavil born in 1769 in Barrow upon Humber, Lincolnshire. His wife's name was Ann. No other information about her.
      Very tentatively William's father and mother were William and Mary. No other information. I have no verification of this information, except there are some gravestones in Cady Cemetery, Lawrence Twp?, Brown Co. Wisconsin. These include, John and his wife Janet, as well as his mother Diana.

      I would be interested in the Canadian census data you have.
