I am researching a line of Creans which come from Co. Kerry.

Specifically Ibelieve Castle Gregory. My grandmother was Catherine Theresa Crean b.

1913in Co. Kerry. Her father's name was Patrick Crean. Catherine

traveled tothe US in 1929 at the age of 16. She settled in Holyoke, MA. The

story wasthat she came to this country alone. I've since found out that she

livedwith her mother Bridget Crean here in Holyoke. Bridget does disappear

fromrecords here in 1937 I suspect she returned to Ireland. My grandmother

alsolived with an Anne Crean while here. . I know very little about my

grandmother's family as she refused to speak about the old country.

Ifanyone has any information on this line or a Crean line from the area

I'dlove to hear from you.Happy Hunting!Linda Carrier

Hi Caoimhghin,I will try to answer your points in order -

Charles Cryan:I am sorry not to have visited the GRO in London since I last told you

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 London next week to the GRO

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 Southport about which I had

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 John Cryan National School teacher -

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 Dublin - do you ever go to the

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 Tasmania but have not

yetwritten to the Tasmanian Archives because the record number/document

numberonly refers to Ireland. May be he only got as far as Liverpool! My

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 Clark is probably too old but the age from the death certificate

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)

I also have the marriage of a John CRYAN and Catherine DRURY/MCDRURY

asdated 1829 in Croghan but I did not write down the source and just at

themoment can not find it again . Though I have looked through the lists

thatyou sent to the CRYAN maillist - Mary Creasers extracts fron Croghan

parishregister, and all my parish register stuff, and my extracts from the

IGI. Itis unusual that I did not write down the source especially as there is

ayear and place.

I may have collected this information from you, if you have ever posted

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 Shannon no 3.43

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

Hi Linda,I hope that this is helpful.

Here are two possibilities who would be about 40 when your Catherine

wasborn.If you look in the films of the Irish BMD Register Indexes for years

aroundthis date you may find others registered in Castle Gregory who could be

I found an 18th c. timeline on the web with reference to a

Crogan/Croghan trading post c. 1744-52 in Ohio. The main river running through

Cleveland, Ohio is the Cuyahoga river, and Cleveland is in the county of Cuyahoga.

 I'm not certain if there is a town today called "Cuyahoga" (pronounced

"kie-a-hoe-ga"). I thought the time period, nonetheless interesting.

The timeline is interesting in and of itself, for anyone interested in the

French and Indian wars of this time period in North America:

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

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

social life !!!!!!I will let you know what happens about Charles Cryan.

Until again Eve, sorry I wanted to write more but am in an awful hurry.

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.

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

 Organization:             Family Spackman     Subject:             [CRYAN] Michael Cryan at Lowell

I could be that 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!

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.

The Michael Cryan who was in business with his brother Martin (my

great-grandfather) had no uncle named Michael Cryan, according to the

likely family sent me by Eve some time ago. Below is that line again; sometimes we need to see this stuff a fewtimesbefore it fits.        Roger

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 AUGMENTED VERSION OF THE OLD FAMILY TREE!

> codes - c = christening or baptism>            IGI = International Genealogical Index, available in all

public> libraries(of a reasonable size) in England presumably also in the USA

>            index = the reference no given to all civil registrations,

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.

> Michael c 5 Nov 1854 Boyle RC - Came to America - Lowell, then Rhode

Island? Maybe Walter Cryan's grandfather? My grandfather always said

WalterCryan (a long-time Providence newscaster) looked like his family.

> Bridgit c 24 Feb 1856 Boyle RC - Mrs. Delia McKinney (thanks, Karen)

> Anne c 13 Dec1857  Boyle RC - prob. married a man named Welsh or

Walshand moved to Ulster

> James c 2 Oct 1859 Boyle RC - Claimed to be 30 in 1901.  Married Ann

Cryan from Brougher Ballinafad; no kids - left farm to her nephew James

Cryan, whose widow still lives in the house.

> Martin c 29 Sept 1861 Boyle RC - My great granddad - came to Lowell,

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.

Dear Kevin,Sorry I haven't been able to get to your page until now--been away!

Nicejob!  Thanks for all the other links--very helpful.  I just began

researching all 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 and Brigid (Cryan) Carroll, lived in Lowell when she emigrated

fromRoscommon.  So, my guess is she came over to stay with her mother's

familyin Lowell.Keep up the wonderful page and take care.Regards, Joan

Ultican/Cryan -- that's my line!

But I have Margaret Ultican b. 1841 as married to a Peter Garvin on Sep

2,1869, in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada.  (I believe that information

camefrom Kathy Reimer, an Ultican descendent I ran into on the web).

Here is my Cryan-Ultican connection:

According to my information (this part is documented by my

Grandfather'scopy of a marriage certificate), Margaret Ultican's sister Catherine E.

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

Philip Cryan (1874-1939) of Lowell, MA.  Anna and John were my

grandfather'sparents.I am very intrigued by the connection of Margaret to a Cryan...

Let me know if you find out any more!Thanks,Jill
