Update -Cavan Ontario

I see that it’s not going to be easy to keep this blog updated.  After a long active day I’m really tired.  So I’ll post some photos with comments from yesterday and some from today.  I hope you enjoy them.  

Cavan is where William Preston Davis lived with the Tinney family.

St John’s Church is the local church in Ida, North of Cavan on the #10.

Grave marker for the Tinney family at St. John's Church.

Above is the St. John’s Anglican Church in the town of Ida.  It is located about 3 km from the Tinney house in Cavan.  Of course back then they would have traveled the dirt road in a horse and buggy, I'm sure it was the most stylish buggy with the best workmanship from my WM Tinney and Sons. Because WP lived with the Tinney family it is most likely he went to church and Sunday school here.

This is a photo of the Tinney family that WP lived with.  William and Ann with their sons.  The photo is from a book called Tinney Tales by Glenda Tinney, 1998 and belongs to Margaret Tinney. 

Here is another photo of William and Ann Tinney.

This is the Tinney Carriage shop in the late 1800’s. WP worked here around this time. Sorry I can’t turn the photo.  Photo credit to Tinney Tales book.

This is the William Tinney house in Cavan as it looks today. WP lived there from 1899-1903.

This is the front of the house.

This house was built for Annie Tinney, daughter of William and Ann Tinney.  It is currently being renovated.

Across the street and a few houses down is another brick Tinney house  which is now an art studio and gallery.  This is where Margaret Tinney’s father was born.

You can see that they were a very prominent family in Cavan.

Across the street from Annie’s old home is an art gallery called Galerie Q http://www.galerie-q.com/ they have some beautiful art there.  I mention it because the staff person Christine was so very nice.  We talked about town history and family history.  Thanks for taking the time to chat with me.

Kitttycorner from Annie’s house is where the blacksmith shop was.  It’s now a gas station.

When I left Cavan I headed for Millbrook.

That post will have to wait till tomorrow.  I’m getting up early to go to church.  St. John’s in Ida, then over to Millbrook for church events.

Shout out to my friend Kathleen Barr who let me swim in her pool and relax in her hot tub after feeding me a great meal!
