Hi 'Cryan' folks,

 

All this recent activity on our Cryan list has given me the needed push

to catch-up on some tasks. I finally sat down and transcribed my

great-grandfather Michael Cryan's 1933 obit in the Roscommon Herald. In the

article's concluding list of those who expressed their condolences, are

more than one hundred Boyle families with their street locations. I'll

gladly send this info upon request since they're not 'Cryans' and so

might not be of interest to those listers without connections to Boyle.

 

Of Michael's 11 children, three of his sons, Michael, J., Leo and

Francis formed the 'Boyle Havana Band' which was popular in that part of the

country.

 

Thanks for the inspiration!

 

Maureen McCourt Nantista

Death of Mr. Michael Cryan,

    Catholic Club, Boyle

        The death of Mr. Michael Cryan, senr., steward of the Catholic

Club Boyle, which occurred early on Thursday morning, 26th January,

will be heard with real regret by Boyle men at home and abroad, for there

was no man better known or more generally respected amongst Boyle

people, past and present, than he was. His passing takes away another of the

few in the ever narrowing circle of the old generation of Boyle men,

who were so proud of their native town and who worked so hard for its

spiritual and material welfare.

       The late Mr. Cryan had qualities of character as remarkable as

they were admirable. He was gifted with powers of memory high above the

average, and being keenly interested in history, public affairs and

current events generally, he was an exceedingly entertaining

conversationalist as well as a formidable opponent in debate. But it was for his

devotion to the Catholic faith that he was especially noted. He defended

the Faith with a vigour that could only have its source in unshakable

belief, and practised his religious duties with a scrupulous punctuality

and fervour that was edifying to all who witnessed it. One of the

greatest devotions of the Church with which he was closely associated was

the Sacred Heart and Temperance Association of which he was secretary for

40 years. The late Mr. Cryan was Steward of the Catholic Club since its

opening in 1915 and here the firmness and tact he exercised had the

rules carefully observed, and this, with attention to the affairs o!

f the Club generally, were factors that contributed mainly to its

success as an institution in the town.

        He lived to a fine old age and died deeply mourned by his

family and regretted by all who knew him. During his brief illness he was

visited by Rev. P.J. O'Leary, C.C., and also Very Rev. T. Canon Sharkey,

P.P., V.F., who administered the last rites of the Church on Wednesday

morning. The remains were brought to St. Joseph's on Thursday evening.

Solemn Requiem Mass for the eternal repose of his soul was celebrated

there on Saturday morning. The funeral took place on Friday, the 27th

January, to the family burial ground of Assylinn and was one of the

largest and most representative of Boyle funerals which passed through the

town for a long time. Very Rev. T. Canon Sharkey, P.P., V.F., assisted

by Rev. P. J. Hannon, C.C. officiated at the interment. The chief

mourners were: Michael, Frank and Leo (sons), Mrs. James Scanlon (daughter),

James Scanlon (son-in-law). We beg to tender to the members of the

family of the deceased, who are so well and popularly known over a gre!

at part of the West, our sincere sympathy in their bereavement. -

R.I.P.

       Telegrams and messages of sympathy were received from the

following: -

 

(list of names and locations)

 

Acknowledgement - The family of the late Michael Cryan wishes to thank

all who sent messages of sympathy, and also all those who were present

at the funeral.

Hi Paul , I am back

I have some new info

 

Children of Robert WW CRYANand Mary Jane Elizabeth MATTHEWS,

 

Sybil FW          b 1887 d 1905

Helen MW         b 1892 d 1982 visited USA in 1922

Robert WW       b 1893 , I think married someone called Eugenie and

travelled with her to USA in 1921- possibly when they emigrated (maybe

the

reason for the name Eugene O'Neill in the family)

 

Cyril, Elinor,Harold and Edith  must fit between these and

 

Adrian MW         b 1901 and visited USA in 1924, probably married

after

this

 

This is all gleaned from the Ellis Island website which charts the

"processing through customs"

 

Also recorded are the following which are curious....who are they

visiting?

It looks as if they are all a bit careless about their ages or their

are a

great many more Robert Cryans than we are aware of.

Hello Kevin,

 

I was in Dublin last week and my father Seamus Cryan gave me a letter

he

received from you. I found it a very interesting read so I logged onto

your

web site. I have never met you which is a surprise as I only moved to

Galway

2 months ago having lived in Swords for the last 25 years. I tried to

download info onto a floppy disk but was unable to. Could you tell me

what

is the best way to get Cryan info from the list?

 

I have researched my family tree as far back as I could but I have come

to a

standstill. I would be very interested if you have any records re. Lord

Lorton as he was the landlord of my ancestors holding.I would be

delighted

if you could be of some assistance or point me in the right direction

 

I have attached the 1901 and 1911 Census and also the TAB which relates

to

my family. My family were known as Cryan (Strong).

 

I am also wondering if you have been to the Sligo County Library and if

you

found it helpful in your research. I am also interested in researching

the

Irish War of Independence and Civil War in County Sligo. Would you know

of

any records in relation to same?

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Paul Cryan
