if thelist could add "one more" sound-alike?  In addition, has anyone run

into theabove while tracking down their sound-alike ?  I don't think the

I think Roger has hit the head of the nail square on ...  And, Roger,yourspelling reminds me of Wendy's ancestor, Thomas Craun/Crawn, Chrahan,Chroughan, Crone, etc.  You might want to start looking at Croghans --sinceCrowen has been a bust, and I'm assuming your "Crowen" is pronounced

somethinglike Croghan.  How DO you Croghans pronounce it??  Could Crowen be a

form ofCrown or Cowan?It might be nice to do a phonetic roll-call at some point.  Last week I

hadthe pleasure of talking with Tom Crane, father to Lisa (she's on themailinglist).  He has sent me a nice write-up on his family line.  He has beenableto trace his Crane family line to the surnames Crean and Crehan, butanywherehe's heard "Crehan" pronounced, it sounds "Crane" to him (he's got

The Crane/Crean/Crehan and Cuddy/Cuddihy Family History, by Tom Crane:

        1.   My GGgrandparents, Denis and Anne Cuddy.  These names and dates

aretaken from the U.S. Census of 1880 wherein they were listed as living

in myGgrandfather's (Patrick Crane) home as "boarders."  Denis' occupation

wasgiven as "blacksmith" and Anne's as "housewife."  Because of the other

documents that I have at hand, I have very reason to believe that the

DenisCuddy (b. 1810) and recorded in the 1880 Census is somehow directly

related tothe Denis Cuddy listed in E.H. Sheehan's book titled, "Nenagh and Its

Neighborhood," wherein on page 77 the following entry is made under the

paragraph titled, "Some Inscriptions From Tombs in Friary, Nenagh:"

                Cuddy, Denis, - Grocer and woolen-draper, Castle St., ob May, 1817

        2.  Michael Crean and Mary Shea.  These names are taken from a

baptismalcertificate that was provided to me by a Mr. Joseph Kennedy, farmer and

historian, of Callan, Kilkenny.  Joe Kennedy firmly believes that the

baptismal certificate is a true record of my Ggrandfather's (Patrick

Crean)baptism.  The event took place on January 9, 1844, and corresponds to

theexact year of birth for the Patrick Crane that was listed on the U.S.

Censusof 1880.  Patrick's parent's names were given as Michael Crean and Mary

Sheaand the sponsors were Thomas Coady and Catherine Shea.  The event was

recordedat the Holy Trinity Church in Fethard, Tipperary, Parish of Fethard,

Dioceseof Cashel.

Eve,

In relation to the Keash film which you recently referred to, I have

the following observations.

Earlier this year (before this list started), I had the opportunity to look at the original Keash records. While I did not note all Cryan details down as there were so many, I had made note of some dates in

the intervals which you indicate are missing. For example, I noted a marriage record of John Creane to Eleanor Clarke on 19 Jan 1834, a marraige record for Marthin Cryan to Anna Ward on 22 July 1845, and

many others outside the time period which you saw.The records weren't ordered strictly in sequence in the book, with many blank pages separating some years. I wonder were mistakes made in

copying the material to film and some of the original material omitted? There certainly were some years missing from the originals, but Ididn't think it was to the extent that the film you have suggests (just to

confirm you indicated it had records for only 1842 -47, 1852-55 and 1872-80). The records I looked at went from c 1843 (except for the one 1834 record to which I refer above) to 1900.

There was a gap at one stage, but I can't recall which years it was - but it was only of the order of 10 years or less I think. Apparantly, the gap in the records was due to their being burned by the parish

priest's housekeeper over some row she had with the parish priest. It must have been a pretty serious row!In relation to the John Cryan (s) and which of them is mine, I don't know yet. Based on my current information, I'm almost certain that my John Cryan's father was a Matthew Cryan - but I've yet to confirm this. I notice that for one of the John's for whom you list the birth record- that one of the godparents was a Matthew. Interesting as they may all have been cousins. I had indicated in an email to the list way way back that I hoped to post the details which I had recorded from Keash atsome stage. Perhaps we can collaborate on this as between us, we will have got a good few of the pre-1900 records. I hope to return to Keash to look at the originals before posting my information so that I can double-check it.

Hi Roger,

I would suggest that the nearest version of the name woud be CROGHAN,

pronounced CRO - AN. So welcome on board.The most likely time for the name to be fixed at an alternativespelling iswhen going through immigration and the officers write down what they

"hear"in a "foreign accent" or in many cases what they think they hear. Andbeing

under pressure it would seem not to matter whether the immigrants areliterate or not and can spell their own name, the "new" name is what isofficial !There is a web site dealing with immigration at Ellis Island, it may beworth checking whether your family appear on the "Immigrant Wall".  Ido not

know the URL but it can be got via the search engines Yahoo andAltavista.There are CRYAN people there.Until again Eve

 

From:        "Michael Tobin" <tobinmi@hotmail.com>Add to Address Book   Date:        Tue, 15 Dec 1998 04:56:23 PST Subject:        [CRYAN-L] Another variation of the Cryan name    To:        CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com

I recently picked up a small booklet in a bookshop in Galway entitled

"The Abbey of Kilnalahan" by Abbey Community Development Association.

Abbey is a village in south-east Galway and the book is about the abbey

or friary in the centre of the village. The abbey dated from the

mid-thirteenth century and is now in ruins. It was ran by the

Carthusian monks initially from 1252 to 1341. The Fransiscans ran it from 1341 for

500 years. I haven't read the booklet in detail yet but on a quick scan

through it, it lists the guardians of the abbey from 1629 to 1872. Of

the 70 guardians listed, 23 were members of the de Burgo family. The de

Burgo family (Burke) were the leading Norman family in Connacht.

In amongst these guardians is the name of Thomas Kyran, 1678-1681. 8 of

the 10 guardians before him were de Burgos. This suggests that he must

have been a man of some standing if he were intermingled with a leading

family such as the de Burgos. It also suggests that he must have had

the means to protect the friary from attack.

Note the time-period in which this Kryan name is recorded - the 1600's.

I don't think we have encountered a spelling of Cryan as Cryan beyond

the 1800's so far - we've come across Crean and other variants before

then. It raises the question of the origin of the name Cryan again.

Feel free to kick me if this sounds like complete nonsense.

The spelling Cryan is alot closer to this Kryan spelling than to other

spellings such as Crean, etc. Just speculating, but I wonder if Cryan

is a completely different name to Crean or if it in fact, derives from 2

different sources? In MacLysaght's book "Irish Families, Their Names,

Arms and Origins", he lists the O'Crean name and indicates that its the

same as Crehan and Cregan and that the Irish version of these is

O'Croidheain or O'Craidhen or O'Croidheagain.

Its spelling as Cryan is notable by its absense from MacLysaght's list.

I know we had other postings on this subject in the past but I cannot

recall the conclusion. I'm not saying that MacLysaght is the gospel on

this stuff, but he certainly knows alot more than me!

So continuing in this vein, given that this Kryan who was guardian of

the abbey appears to have been a man of power in the company of the de

Burgos, does the name Cryan have any Norman associations? Or possibly

he had some connection with the Burkes. This is certainly worthy of more

investigation in the future. There might even be papers preserved on

the de Burgo family as a leading Norman family.

The source of the list of guardians is given as "Liber Dubliniensis and

Liber Louvaniensis in the Franciscan Friary Library, Killiney, Dublin".

Perhaps sometime, some of us might have an opportunity to see if there

is any more information on this Kryan in that library. If we discover

that he was of Norman origin, it will be a very interesting discovery

for some of us indeed.

If anyone can throw cold water on my theories above, please do. Even if

he's not a Norman, this Kryan is interesting as if he's part of the

same family as the merchants of Sligo, it gives us an even better idea of

their prominence.

regardsMichael

 Subject:        [CRYAN-L] Tom Crane's family, part 2    To:        CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com

(Continued from yesterday):

It should be noted that when my Ggrandmother, Mary Crane was admitted

into thecounty poor farm in Princeton, IL, in 1908, it was noted on the record

thatshe had been the mother of 10 children yet my father could only name

the same5 children that were recorded on the U.S. Census of 1880.  Perhaps,

this [thetraditional naming pattern, of first son after paternal grandfather,

etc.]could explain the gaps in the naming pattern as it related to Patrick's

andMary's children.

3.  Patrick Crehan and Mary Cuddihy.  This entry relates to the record

ofmarriage that was provided to me by the Nenagh Heritage Society by way

of Mr.Joseph Kennedy.  The event took place on August 2, 1863, at Silvermines,

Tipperary, and the witnesses were Patrick Shaughnessy and Mary Gleeson.

4.  Mary Crehan.  This entry relates to the register of birth of my

great-auntthat I recieved from teh Irish Records Office.  I was led to this

document bythe entry that I discovered and that was recorded on microfilm by The

Churchof Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints (Mormons).  The information

that Ihave shown is copied directly from the original.

Date & place of birth: 1-1-1865, Garrymore

Name: Mary

Sex: Female

Name and Surname and Dwelling Place of Father: Patrick Crehan, Garrymore

Name and Surname and Maiden Name of Mother: Mary Crehan formerly Cuddihy

Rank or Profession of Father: Miner

Signature, Qualification & Residence of Informant: Anne Cuddihy

(occupies her mark)

When Registered: 7-1-1865

Surname of Register: Calahan

 

What is significant about this document is the fact that Anne Cuddihy

signedfor the record of birth of ther granddaughter (Mary) to her own

daughter, MaryCuddihy Crehan.  Therefore, that Anne Cuddihy could be none other than

theAnne Cuddy who was listed as "Boarder" along with her husband, Denis

Cuddy,who both lived in the home of my Ggrandfather, Patrick Crane, and who

wererecorded on the U.S. Census of 1880.  This supports my claim that the

names,Cuddy and Cuddihy, have been used interchangeably by my family as well

as havethe names Crehan, Crane and Crean also been used interchangeably.

5.  John Crane.  My grandfather.  I have in my possession a very

detailed copyof my grandfather's death certificate.  He died in St. John's Hospital

inSpringfield, IL, on April 10, 1946, and is buried in Calvary Cemetery.

Hisparents names were given as Patrick Crane and Mary Cuddy.  In other

words, hisparents were the same couple who were married as Patrick Crehan and Mary

Cuddihy at Silvermines/Nenagh, on August 2, 1863.

6.  My parents.  Patrick James Crane and Dorothy Agnes March Crane.

Eve, I'm reminded of your "internet diet" -- I should be doingsomething less

fulfilling now, but I can't stop!!!So just a quickie -- I'm very interested in the Kyran (or is it Kryan?)

spelling.  Not that I wish to be disrespectful, since everyone I've comeacross views MacLysaght's publications as the authority in thesequestions,but I've wondered exactly what his sources are (they aren't footnoted). Yes,he references the tomb in Sligo, the Bishop fellow etc., but he

provides a lotmore information than I've  come across, even with the help of all of

you hereon the list.

I'm also curious as to why Cryan is lumped in with O'Crean (it is in

anotherof MacLysaght's publications -- there are 3 books to my knowledge, and

byO'Hart as well).  Especially if "crean", "crane", "crehan" are all

pronounced"crane" -- my "Cryan" is most particularly "Cry-ann".  Plus, has anyone

elsenoticed that the Cryans, at least those posted to this list, don't have

thesame kind of spelling changes/overlaps with other the O'Crean surname

variations (such as Creaghan, Crean, etc.)?  Maybe, Michael, you've

found the foundation ...

Although my husband will likely go insane -- three months ago he

"forbid" meto go after the Grahams and K-spelling-variations, saying that I should

content myself with the letter C.  I can't wait to tell him what you've

found... (grin) ... Leslie

Erica - I've been meaning to get back to you.  You generously offered

to postlines of research on your web page -- how many can you fit (grin)?

Would youaccept a little write-up/ad for our mailing list, i.e., our general

lines ofinquiry/topics of discussion?

Tom Crane's family, conclusion:

7.  This item relates to a family chart that was provided to me by Mrs.

MarieO'Mearea Crean whose late husband was Jimmy Crean of Fethard, Tipperary.

According to their family chart, Jimmy Crean was descended from John

Crean andMary Gleason.  His father, John, was in turn the son of Michael Crean

and MaryShea.  This would make him the brother of Patrick Crean (my

Ggrandfather)whose baptismal certificate I have in my possession.  According to

Marie Creanand some of Jimmy's relatives, John was known to have had a brother by

thename of Patrick who had separated himself from the family with no known

accounting as to whatever happened to him.  Since Patrick Crean of

Fethardshares the same year of birth with the Patrick Crehan/Crane of

Silvermines,Nenagh, as recorded on the U.S. Census of 1880, and the names of Patrick

Crean's parents of Fethard, Tipperary, which is in keeping with the

Irishtradition of assigning Christian names, it is believed by all concerned

thatboth of these Patricks are one and the same.  Perhaps, through further

investigation, performed either by myself or my descendants, that

reasoningwill gain additional support so as to be totally conclusive.

In addition, Tom has found information on two Patrick Crehans who were

bothborn c. 1840 in Bruff, Co. Limerick:

Although there was not any record of the marriage of James Crehan and

MaryDaly, the society did locate the record of marriage of Patrick Crehan

andElizabeth Browne.  They were married on the 26th of February, 1838.  The

witnesses to the marriage were John Browne and Patrick Riordan.

James Crehan and Mary Daly had the following issue in Bruff parish:

25-12-1838 Patrick - godparents: Patrick Creahan & Catherine Creahan

15-03-1840 Mary - godparents: Patrick Creahan & John Flaherty

19-06-1842 John - godparents: Richard Fitzgerald & Anna Daly

15-08-1846 James - godparents: John Crehan & Anna Conway

Patrick Crehan and Elizabeth Browne had the following issue in Bruff parish:

20-03-1839 Mary - godparents: Michael Crehan & Catherine Browne

10-01-1841 Patrick - godparents Patrick Browne & Catherine Browne

06-05-1844 Patrick - godparents: William Browne & Catherine Browne

14-01-1849 Catherine - godmother: Ellen Rawley

18-02-1854 Margaret - godparents Michael Connors & Catherine Quae

Again, if you would like to get in contact with Tom, you can through his

daughter on this list (Lisa) or by emailing me and I'll send his snail

mail info. - Leslie

Hi all,

  Either it's been so quiet or I've been so busy I didn't notice many

holiday wishes on the list. So, belated merry Christmas and other

seasonalgreetings :) Now that I have nothing _but_ time for the next month I've

decided that it'd be best to make a small faq, put it up somewhere and

addto it. I always try to be exhaustive at the beginning and never get

stuffdone so this should work better. Also I got some free AOL hours inside a

CD-ROM gift so I'm going to try to look up Crehans in their member

directory or something. Happy New Year to all if I don't hear or write

anything before then.Sincerely,Theresa Mary

I hope you all are having safe and happy holidays, too.  After the 1st

I'llstart posting more data from Caoimhghin again...

In the meantime, let me thank you Eve, for keeping the Roberts flowing,

so tospeak.  I've got no known connection to those you kindly posted, but

I'll bethe first to say I don't know much of anything, and who knows ... maybe

1999will not only bring me a new home, but some more relatives, too!

Great FAQ idea, Theresa Mary -- you go girl!

And, just FYI folks, Michael has kindly agreed to make sure that all

goessmoothly should I be offline for a few weeks during my upcoming move.

I haveseemed to attract in the past those movers which believe being weeks

laterthan they said isn't that big a deal, and I didn't want such an event to

interfere with this mailing list running smoothly.  Given Michael's

diplomaticskills (how many times HAVE you kissed the blarney stone??), I'm sure

thesub/unsubbing etc. from the list shall proceed much more smoothly than

normal.Consider this a friendly warning that you'll be in better hands near

the endof January, if only for a few weeks ...

In the meantime, enjoy your family and friends, and don't forget to

toast your"four bears" when you raise your glasses tomorrow night ... Leslie

A Happy New Year to everyone,

For Roger -I hope that this fits the bill. If you wish to check them, the records

areavailable to read at the LDS Family History Centres, but they may have

tosend away to acquire them.codes - c = christening or baptism

           IGI = International Genealogical Index, available in all

publiclibraries(of a reasonable size) in England presumably also in the USA

           index = the reference no given to all civil registrations,

and isrequired if you wish to send to the "National Registry" in Dublin for

possibly Honor Beirne's parents are James and Anne ?????

Re RORKE

Over my records the name Farrel varies in its spelling considerably from

Fargallo to Francis to Fergallus to Farrellii to all variations in one

family with the same wife. So I must conclude that a Farrell could be

anyone of the above variations

Thus - I have -Patrtium(Patrick) ROARK c 8 Feb 1829

                           parents Farrell ROARK and Bridgetae WINN

Boyle RC                    Fergalus RORKE c 26 Jan 1827

                           parents Fergalus RORKE and Brigida WINN

Boyle RC    it would seem that  Farrel(various spellings)  RORKE and Brigid

WINN/WYNNE  had 10 children from 1818 - 1842 of which Fergalus/Farrell and Patrick

areno 4 & 5

A Farrel RORKE married a Mary CARROLL and had a daughter Anne

christened 15Nov 1847 in Boyle RC

I have no indications on where they lived. There are lots of RORKEs but

veryfew Farrells.

I have no other records on any of the aboveAll the best Eve
