Hi Caoimhghin,I
will try to answer your points in order -
Charles Cryan:I am
sorry not to have visited the GRO in
backin March.
Apart from all the other things that I do I have been
clearing
up,painting and selling my mother's place,so time has been rather short.
Coincidentally we
are planning to go up to
soput your mind at
rest I will do what I can.To write for a death certificate one needs either the
volume and pagenumberfrom the index and then one can write to the Office of
National
Statisticsin
Southport(I'll find the proper address) or the place and then one
canwrite to the
local registrar and you do not need the index number.
Localregistrars
are much less over loaded than
heardthat short
staff and increased demand for services had led to delays of
upto 6 weeks
whereas in March I received my certificates in about 5 - 6
days.The problem
about Charles is that as yet we do not know either the
place orthe index
number, so we have to look in the index volumes..
I will do my best
next week (probably Thursday) and let you know.
John Cryan
enumerator/ census checker.
Do you have access
to a Mormon FHC ? Because if so,you could look at
thephotographs of
the original returns of the 1901 census.
Everything I have
extracted so far is now publicly available on the
Leitrim/Roscommon
web site.The next group of data is of Boyle town, it
isnot ready
yet.However if I remember correctly the first film that I
viewedhad to be
abandoned half way through and returned to the central depot
because I had had
it too long and the next film had arrived. So I
decided tofinish
the second film and then go back to finish the first. So if I
havenot yet
reached your family I am sorry The Leitrim/Roscommon web site
ishttp://www.thecore.com/let_ros
I have just
checked my files to find that the earlier film was
abandoned inthe
middle of Croghan townland. The FHC had problems with staff at the
timeand was closed
for a period so I hadto make a decision. I will get back
toit but each film
is very long and has taken me much longer than the 20
hoursestimated,
probably double.But then the estimate may be for a shorter
lengthof film.
About the parents
of
I gave a couple of
suggestions as to the parents but we need a bit more
information. Do
you know his age when he died ? This is not always
accuratebut it
could narrow the possibilities.
We may find him in
the census in which case we may know more and can
make aselection .
If he is about 66 in 1901 then it more likely that his
mother isMary
Harrington, and then I can give you more about them.
I said that there
were a great many John Cryans but I have been very
VERYsuprised that
there have been so few Cryans on my films of the 1901
census.I f you
look at the map on the Let-Ros site you will see how much of
thecounty has been
completed and how much is in process, something of the
orderof 50,000
individuals, say 10,000 households and of those so far only
about17 are Cryan
!!! So out of these there are not many John Cryans , and I
amalmost sure that
the enumerator must be your John (an ideal job just
afterretirement
for a well known and prominent , reliable member of the
community)I am
sure we will find him when we get there but he may have retired
and notbe living
in the schoolhouse......do you have any clues as to address ?
doyou have the
death certificate which will give an address?
When I get to him
I will photocopy the entry and send it to you.
Now I hope that
you do not mind if I ask something for me -
I understand that
you live just outside
National Registry
or to the National Archives?
In particular I
would love to know more about the John Cryan mentioned
inthe Convict
Transportation records of those sent to Australia.There are
onlytwo Cryan
records but I suspect they refer to the same person and fit
withthe
possibility ,age etc of my elusive gggrandfather. I have found from
other sources that
the ship The London went to
yetwritten to the
Tasmanian Archives because the record number/document
numberonly refers
to
ggrandfather John
and his brother Daniel would be about 4 at the time.
Perhaps the
records will give the wife and family of the convict.
The document
references/numbers areTR 8,p 142 and CRF1850misc2(2)
I am sure other
Cryan have been tantalised by the references and if
nothingelse be
pleased to cross a criminal off or out of their connections.until again,Eve

Hi Caoimhghain,
I selected the families as being likely candidates for
the honour of
beingyour John's parents because his first two
children were named
Mary(Jane) andJohn and the practice was to name the
first boy and girl after the
father'sparents. These families then had a John that
could be of the same age
asyour John.These are extracted from the Parish
registers. I agree that the John
,son ofMary
couldclear this up but we will have to see - I only
have one child for that
family.But John ,son of Mary HARRINGTON is highly
likely, so I have given the
otherchildren of the family. I do not have the
marriage date. (cont)

extracts fron Croghan

my extracts from the

I may have

it.But I shall
keep looking.
-------------------------
About John Cryan
teacher of Croghan. You say that you have "a death
abstract" ,
Is this a certificate? It does not sound like one.
If you do not have
a certificate, I will look in the Irish death
indexes -already
had it . Fortunately I had extracted up to 1907. No John Cryan
was registered in
1906 and only one in the whole of 1907.So that must be
your John - here
it is.
1907 1st quarter John CRYAN in Carrick on
So it looks as
though he died about Christmas time and was registered
justafter the New
Year.
If you could get
the certificate from the National Registry it should
givehis age , his
address, cause of death and who registered the death,
usuallya family
member present at the time, and ,quite helpfully, where he was
whenhe
died,perhaps in hospital or at home or elsewhere. You will need the
number which I
think means volume 3 page 43 if you go to the National
Registry. (I you
go/write to the local registrar it is not usually
needed.)If you
already have this information, just ignore the above.
I do hope that
this is helpful.Until again Eve

the FHC at Myddleton Place in London to inquire about the
death ofCharles
Cryan only to find that the indexes still have not come in . On
enquiry at the
desk found that they are not due untilNovember/December, so
I gave a long
appealing explanation and explained that it was such an
unusual name that
it should not be difficult to find. Well, several
assistants became
involved and they tried to telephone the office of
National
Statistics, but could not get through. So I have to do that
anotherday......I
will let you know the outcome.Otherwise it it wait until
Nov/Decand I will
go then.
I had a look at
your website with special interest as we have been
involvedwith
building websites and have long debates on presentation.
Here in England we
have to pay for every second of access to the
internet,unlike
the USA where one does not pay for local calls. So I feel that I
cannot waste time
on sites where either the writing is difficult to read
or thelayout is
tiring on the eyes, or even the colours are inappropriate.
Thismeans short
paragraphs, gaps in the typescript and headings which all
breakup the visual
impact into manageable sections. This is not a criticism,
justa principle by
which we work.
I was everso
pleased to see that you do not have any fancy gimmicks and
thatyour links
were grouped....what a waste of time scrolling up and down
iswhen all you
want at any one time is not on the screan at the same

luck with all your projects, I hope that you have time for a

[CRYAN] Another Michael CRYAN in Lowell, MA To:
CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com
Hello, Found
another Michael Cryan and family in Lowell, MA. after 1860.
Haven't been able to connect him to Martin and
Michael Cryan, yet.
According to his 1876 Naturalization,
he was born in Co.
Sligo,
Ireland about 25 September 1826 and arrived in Boston, MA about
twentieth of
October 1859. (have passenger arrival
mainfest-arrived 28 Oct
1859) One of his witnesses on the
naturalization was a Thomas
Cryan. Haven't connected him yet. There was a Thomas Cryan, fireman, listed
in the 1879-1880
Lowell city directories.
Michael Cryan enlisted
10 Sept 1862 in Co. D 25th Reg. ME.
Date discharged 11 July 1863.

Wed. 12 Apr. 1882
Fatal Railroad
Accident
Michael Cryan, who lived with his
family at 155 Market
street, was run over by a car or cars on the Boston and Lowell road, between
7:30 and 8 o'clock
last evening, about 250 feet southerly of the switch
tower below the
Chelmsford street bridge, and received
injuries of which he
died at St. John's hospital less than two hours
later. His left arm was
crushed, his left
leg was broken, and his skull was severely fractured.
Mr. Cryan went to Boston Monday with his
wife and sister-in-law, to
attend the funeral
of his father. His wife proposed to
stop in Boston till
tonight, as her
sister was to start from there today for the west.
Mr. Michael Horan
of Market street, who went to the funeral, saw Cryan at
five o'clock
yesterday afternoon in Boston, and the two agreed to return
home by seven
o'clock train from that place last evening.
When Mr. Horan got
to the depot in
Boston he could not find Cryan, and thinks that he had already
boarded the train,
which was a long one. He thinks that as
the train
neared the
Middlesex street depot, Cryan got out upon the platform and fell
under the
cars. The body was first seen by a
brakeman, named Goodhue, a
short time after
the accident occurred. Cryan was 55
years of age and kept a
variety store at
155 Market street. He was a soldier in
the 26th
Massachusetts
regiment during the war. Deceased was a
temperate man,
and was highly
esteemed by many acquaintances. He leave
a widow, two sons
and a daughter.
-----
According to his death record, his
parents were Patrick and Ann.
I looked for the
death record of Patrick Cryan in Boston.
Found none.
Only name I found
that might be the right one was a
Patrick CRANE , widower, died 9 April 1882 in Boston.,
age...92,
born...Ireland, parents...Edward and Ann.
------------
When I originally came across this
Michael, I thought he
might be related
somehow to Roger Cryan and Judy Bruce's
Martin and Michael
Cryan (also the same Cryan family I am
researching) because he owned a
variety store on
Market street, Lowell. Around 1885,
listed in the Lowell
city directories
was a Cryan Bros.(Martin and Michael),
variety store at
189 Market
St. But I haven't made the connection.
Anyone with Lowell
Cryan families recognize this Cryan?Karen MurphyNashua, NH

you have two different Michaels here - Michael born
about 25Sept 1826
who went into the 25 th could well be
the Michael killed ion
therailroad aged
55 in 1882 ie born between 12 April 1826 and 12 April
1827(newspaper
report), which could be the son of Patrick Cryan and Anne
Cawleyof
Riversown, Co Sligo who have children at about that time Patrick in
1812and Alice
1819.
However the census
1880 gives Michael aged 52 ie born 1828-9
I wonder if the
1880 census gives Michael Cryan as living at 155 Market
Street similarly
in the newspaper report of 1882, yet in 1885 the city
directory gives
189 Market Street whether there are other possibilities
which could be
checked.
1 They could have moved from one building
to another between 1882
and1885 - perhaps
there are records of changes of tenancy etc
2 However I think that it is more possible
that the street was
renumbered as the
town grew and plots and gardens were in-filled .
Peoplehave found
records of this here in England so perhaps Lowell has some.
Theremay be old
maps with ther numbers on them in the archives or library .
I will keep
looking - - - - - somewhere I have a record of a Michael
Cryanwith a crowd
of daughters in your area but not Lowell.Godd luck Eve

Greetings,My name is
Kathleen O'Donnell-Grone I really enjoyed your web site. You
have a lot of
great information. I am searching for the family listed below.
Isabelle Creen was
my grandmother. Rufus is thought to have been half
German although I
can find nothing to substantiate this. Creen is a very Irish
name and he
married Irish. On my O'Donnell side we go to County Donegal but
also have not gone
much farther. My Family came over in the "coffin" ships
during the famine
and 4 out of 5 children died. An aunt survived as did my
great-great
grandparents and my great grandfather was born in NY. Other
names I am also
researching are Mary Dineen born about 1840 in Limerick
who was married to
my great-great grandfather James O'Donnell. I have a
picture of her.
Mary Harrigan married to my great grandfather James J.
O'Donnell may have
been born in Ireland or NY. Lester A. O'Donnell my grandfather
married Isabelle
Creen. She was a beauty!

[CRYAN] Fwd: Croghan To: CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com
Hi:My wife is
searching for ancestors in Roscommon County Ireland. We have
visited there and
will return in June 2000 with other family members.
Her mother's
surname was Croughan. Her grandfather was Ulysess Samuel
Alonzo Croughan
(USA Croughan- born 8/14/1877), son of Michael Crougan
(born County
Roscommon, Ireland-2/19/1840), married to Elizabeth
Laughlin (born
3/26/48). Michael was the son of James Croughan (born
County Roscommon,
Ireland- 1818) and Elenor Kelly (born Palm Sunday,
1820)
The surname
Croughan is listed as Croghan in the Fourmilehouse Parish
(formerly known as
Kilbride Parish) Records in Roscommon County. From
the County
Roscommon Heritage and Genealogy Center, we have found that
James and Elenor
Croughan (Croghan) had 5 children:
Mary-baptised
3/10/1839
Michael-baptised
2/11/1841
Patrick-baptised 10/1/43
John-baptised
3/5/1846
Peter-baptised
6/26/1848
We would be
interested to know if there are any descendants of Mary,
Patrick, John or
Peter alive. As I noted my wife is the great
grand-daughter of
Michael Crougan and Elizabeth Lauglin and thus the
great-great-grand-daughter
of James Croughan and Elenor Kelly.Thanks for any info
Dan (McCormick)
Sitarz.

I was looking over
my older messages, and as I spent some time with
thisgem, I wasn't
sure that I ever pointed out that I've got the marriage
record for James
Cryan and Honor Beirne. They don't show
up in the
Boylerecords
because they were married in the (mostly) Sligo parish of
Kilfreeand
Killaragt on February 8, 1853. Their
witnesses were one Patrick
Cryanand one
Wilhelmina Gainly.
Also, I saw that
Karen didn't have the names and dates for all of James
andHonor's
children. I'll also add some data to
what Eve sent me.
SO HERE IS THE

Census said she spoke Irish and English, herchildren only Englishmarried Feb 8,
1853 at Kilfree & Killaragt parish (which might havegoneover the county

1901 census -
thatwould have
made her 13 when she was married; but this family alwaysliedlike thieves about
their age, (right down to the most recently deceasedgeneration, may they rest
in peace). Also, she shows as born in
Roscommonin the
same Census.

Hello,
Thank you for your
response to my query.
The 1880 Michael
Cryan is the same Michael who died in 1882.
Address in the
1880 Census was 155 Market St.
I really don't
trust date of births unless I have seen
the actual
birth record.The
newspaper article lists Michael's age as 55.
Another newspaper
lists the age as "about
60". Death record lists age as 53
years old.
Census says
52.Which one do you go by?
I also have the "Special
Schedule of the Surviving Soldiers, Sailors
and Marines and Widows", of the 1890
Census which lists "Mary, widow
of Michael
Cryan."
It is probably
just a co-incidence that the Cryan Bros,
Michael
and Martin, own a store on the same street, 189
Market, 2-3 years
after the 1882
death of Michael Cryan, of 155 Market
St.

the Cryan's who lived in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Corresponded with
several other "Cryan" researchers who also are
descendentsof
Lowell Cryan's. My great grandmother,
Jane Carroll Donovan,
daughter ofCormac

Ultican married
Francis O'Reilly, and their daughter Anna married John

Now it seems as

Gifts</A> ) -- this site may only contain this article for
a day or two, so
here is the excerpt highlighting The Master of the
Worshipful Company
of Fruiterers, Donald Cryan:
The ancient British society of fruit
traders and growers arrived
earlier this month
at Mount Vernon [home of America's first president, George
Washington] to
plant heirloom varieties of fruit trees in a ceremony
worthy of a
Gilbert & Sullivan opera. First, a
black-robed clerk announced
the company, and
the Master, Donald Cryan, and two fo his aides appeared in
black velvet caps
and green robes, adorned with badges of office and a
surfeit of brown
fur. .... Founded in the early 1400s,
the company still sends forth its
officers to
historic gardens like a band of knights errant, finding and planting
obscure and
coveted varieties of fruit trees....
The fruiteres do about four ceremonial tree
plantings a year,
regaining their
energy with the occasional feast in some of London's most
beautiful
banqueting halls.
Behind the pantomime, however, is serious
work. Established to
regulate fruit
trading in the City, London's mercantile district, the company's
members are
leading specialists int he global marketplace of fuit
breeding, gorwing
and trading. ....
Cryan, meanwhile, was on his next
quest. Less than a wekk after
the Mount Vernon
ceremony, he was back inthe City of London presenting 12
bushels of fruit
to the Lord Mayor. The Master has been
doing this annually
since 1577, to
settle a dispute over tolls.

born) who died in 1905 at
the age of
34. They had eight children...How can I

Crehan To:
caoimhghin@yahoo.com
Hello Caoimhghin,
I am researching my family and am hung up at my great
grandfather. I
can't seem to go back any further and all my relatives
knownothing. You
mentioned you have lists of baptism, marriage, etc and
wondered if you
might be able to help?
My great
grandfather was John Crehan, born in 1859 in or near Woodbrook
Newbridge
Ballinasloe Co. Galway. He had a brother Thomas and a sister
Mary. John came to
New York around the time of the potato famine with his
first cousin
Bernard Crehan. John went on to Indianapolis Indiana and Bernard
on to Baltimore
Maryland. Mary Crehan marries a man named Thomas Mannion and
lived in
Killisolin about 6 miles from Woodbrook Newbridge. Thomas Crehan
came to Indiana
after John, but it was never clear if he had married in Ireland
before he left. He
was known to be a boxer.
2 of my uncles
went to Ireland in 1985 and went to Woodbrook Newbridge
and met a man
named Mark Crehan . Mark had an uncle named Michael Crehan
who knew much of a
John Crehan who came to Indianapolis with a cousin named
Bernard. This
Michael was 87 at the time and sure now to be deceased, but he new
all about John
Crehans children. There must be a connection, but
unfortunately my
uncles never got all the answers. Michael Crehan said he had 2 brothers
named Owen and
Bernard, but it was not clear if this brother Bernard was the
cousin that came
over to the states with my G Grand father John Crehan.
This is all I know.
I would like to find out who John's parents were,
his grandparents,
etc... Uncles, cousins and how the names Mark, Michael,
Owen and Bernard
Crehan fit into my family tree if at all. Can you help?
Thank You, Kerry
Crehan McCauley

Yes, that's
right! In two weeks we've jumped up to
70 (or thereabouts)

Dear Cryan-L
friends (and relatives!) --
I'm really looking
forward to learning more about our heritage and
lineagewith this
list. I'm one of the five newbies, and here's what I've
learned sofar.
My Crain forebears
came to America from County Sligo, Ireland, in 1848
orthereabouts.
John Crain died of sunstroke in 1848, leaving his widow,
Matilda McDonough
Crain (Atty for short), and ten children. Atty,
obviouslya woman
of character, took the ten kids and began a new life in the
States.
We have a census
listing of Atty and the kids in 1850 in Leominster,
Massachusetts,
near Boston -- but the name was spelled Crane there.
I'veheard she ran
a boarding house there. One of the sons, Patrick, born
1834,headed west
about 1853 and settled in the little village of El Dorado,
nearFond du Lac,
Wisconsin, where he prospered. His brother Mark may have
comewith him, and
he prospered too. I've seen Mark listed as a county
councilmanin 1879.
In any case, soon
enough, Atty joined them in Wisconsin, perhaps
bringingsome of
the other siblings, and there she stayed. Pat married Bridget
Murray, and one of
their kids was Timothy Michael, who eventually
became
mygrandfather.
We'd like to find
out more about John's family in Ireland. We have the
nameof a townland,
Drumraine, in County Sligo -- but there are two
Drumraines,one near
Ballymote and one near Riverstown, and that's as far as we've
gotten with that.
Thanks. Any
information about the Irish Crains, Cranes, etc., will be
gratefully
received!

[CRYAN] Re: Crehan
hi its very possible that John is on a parish
record as
1859 is late
enough - but too early for civil records
(1864)Have you
seen John Grehan's "Tracing Your Irish
Ancestors"?
On my web page there is the Mormon list of
cryan and variants

cryan-l ... try
copying the lists into a Word document
and doing a

crehan
emails. You could
also write to the local heritage
centre in Ireland

[CRYAN] Cryan To: CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com
Hi All..I'm a
newbie to all this..but the death of my grandmother on November
1st at 104+
motivated to redouble my efforts to research my family's roots.
My grandmother,
Ellen Margaret Rafferty McLaughlin was born in Boston on
November 1,
1895. Her mother was Ellen Cryan
Rafferty (born in
Swinford, Co.
Mayo, Ireland) and her father was Robert Rafferty (born in Boston).
I'm pursuing both
the Cryan and McLaughlin sides, but for purposes of this
list..Cryan is my
priority. I have the word out to my 28
first
cousins, some of
whom have fragments of info, and my aunts and uncles (Ellen had 8
children..6 of
whom are still alive...28 grandchildren, 27 great
grandchildren, and
1 great-great grandchild).
Nice meeting you
all!Maureen Skelton
