Does anyone have any information on my great great grandparents, Michael CLAVEN b. approx. 1814 (or Michel CLAVIN) and Mary (either KELLIGAN or HALLIGAN) b. approx. 1815. In 1841, they lived in Domgay, Montgomery, Wales. Both were born in Ireland, no county given. Mary had a younger relative living with her, Elizabeth HALLIGAN b. approx 1831. Michael and Mary had twin daughters born 28 Jun 1840 named Ann and Mary. Another daughter, Catherine, was born in 1842, Jane in 1844, and an unnamed female in 1846.

By the 1851 census Mary and her daughters Ann, Mary, and Catherine had moved to Halifax, Yorkshire. Michael had disappeared. Ann was my great grandmother and married Robert BAIRSTOW on 2 Nov 1861 in Halifax. Eventually, Ann CLAVEN BAIRSTOW and eight of her daughters immigrated to the Lawrence, Massachusetts area.

Any clues would be appreciated.
