[Cryan et al.] US citizenship process & effects

To:

CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com

This is from the National Archives:

"Until September 1922 when the Cable Act was

passed,

Section 1994 of the Act of February 10, 1855 was

effect. Women received derivative citizenship

when

they married a U.S. citizen, or when their

husband was

naturalized. Unfortunately, there is no paper

trail

until the forms were revised in 1906. A wife's

name

is not listed on her husband's citizenship papers

prior to that year. Minor children also derived

citizenship from a parent who became a citizen,

but

were not listed on the early naturalization

documents."

I think it would help everybody to understand how

things were done, and why.

KEASH EMMETS' v BALLINAFAD,

GAELS, (CO. SLIGO).

A closely-contested match between these teams

was

played on Sunday, the 14th inst., on the ground

of the former, Mr. Michael Cryan, with his usual

generosity, placed a field at their disposal.

The

day being

most propitious a great number of spectators

assembled to witness the sport. Rev. P. Conlon,

C.C.

Keash,

acted as referee, his decisions throughout the

play

being received with mutual satisfaction by both

parties. As the teams lined up they presented a

fine

body of

Gaels as could be seen; the Ballinafad then

wearing

green and yellow jerseys, and the Emmets

sporting

their

patron's uniform of green faced with white and

gold.

The Ballinafads having won the toss, took

advantage of the hill - wind there being none.

the ball

being thrown in there was good centre play

indulged

for some time, till the Emmets' getting off

with the

ball rushed to score, but after an exciting

tussle

sent it behind. After kick from goal the Emmets

still

kept the ball in their opponents territory,

putting

behind again several times. The ball was then

well played for some minutes, when the Emmets

again

rushed to score. Michl Gowan sent the ball

whizzing

the goal till stopped by Downes, the

goal-keeper, it

being immediately sent behind. After kick-out

again

the Ballinafad captain, Madden, ably assisted

Dyer

and Kennedy made bold rushes into their

opponents

ground, but the O'Connors and Thrumble

intercepting

their

advances always, returned the ball with cool

long

kicks from behind. The play afterwards became

extremely exciting, men being sent tumbling over

each other in quick succession, during which

each

captain proved to be a host in himself. The

intensity of

the play was kept up till call of half-time,

when

there was nothing scored on either side. Second

half-time commenced with more good play on

neutral

ground,

the Ballinafads making an attempt to score, and

but

for the dexterity of an Emmet had a point

gained.

Dyer and Cryan now sent the ball down to the

captain,

Walsh, who would have scored several times but

for

the

energetic defending of Dowd and Casey. In one of

the rushes Crofton although hemmed in by

several

opponents, scored a goal for the Emmets. Several

vigorous rushes by both sides, skilful play, and

fine kicking characterised the rest of the play

till

full time. The Emmet goal-keeper did not get

even a

single kick at the ball during the whole play.

Time

now

being now called, the referee announced the

scoring:---

Emmets, one goal; Ballinafads, nil.

And then remarked that they (the Emmets) could

not but admire the pluck and manliness with

which the

Ballinafad Gaels distinguished themselves

throughout the play. The loud cheers from the

assembled

multitudes testifying how they endorsed his

statement. Of O'Dowd's conduct on the field our

rev.

president afterwards spoke in landatory terms.

Meanwhile

the following resolution was passed on the

field,

where were assembled the Gaels of two parishes

with

hundreds of sympathisers :- "Resolved - That we

join

in the demand for the retirement of Mr. Parnell

who

having outraged morality and deliberately

deceived his colleagues for years, now sets

himself

at the

head of a faction who were elected to sit, act

and

vote with the majority of the Irish

Parliamentary

Party. Away with the pledge-breakers, those

quondam

pledge-makers."

T. Garvin, Sec.

KNOCKARUSH ROUND TOWERSS - V - COOTEHALL WOLFE

TONES.

This was the fiercest match yet played. In

justice to the Wolfe Tones it must be said they

laboured

under a good many disadvantages. Some of their

best

players have emigrated, and those who took their

places

were of smaller physique than their powerful

opponents.

Knockarush won the toss, and took the hill and

wind, but Cootehall got away first with the

ball, and

sent it over the goal line.

The Knockarush goal-keeper having kicked off,

the

play was even for a few minutes, but the Round

Towers

steadily forced the ball down on their

opponents.

The Wolfe Tones made a gallant dash and got the

ball to the opposide side of the field, but

Knockarush again brought it back, and looked

scoring

when a Wolfe Tone kicked behind. The free kick

for

Knockarush was taken by Cox who failed to make

anything of

it.

The ball was forced down to the goal-line and a

Wolf Tone having picked it up, an angry

scrimmage

took

place, which the referee found some difficulty

calming. The Wolfe Tone goalkeeper having kicked

off, Knockarush again pressed their opponents,

and

Pat

Morris, who was supported by his brother and

Regan made a point.

After twenty minutes' play, Knockarush added a

second point. With coolness and judgement it

looked

if the players could easily have made goals.

Still

pressing on their opponents, Knockarush went

periliously near adding another point, but the

Cootehall backs, especially young O'Hara,

splendidly saved disaster, The Wolfe Tones made

another

plucky dash, and carried the ball up the field,

but

Knockarush brought it back , and some fierce

scrimmages took place in front of the goal and

around the point post. The referee put out a

Knockarush player for

tripping.

At half-time the score stood - Knockarush: two

points to nil. At change of sides, the Wolfe

Tones pressed into the Knockarush ground, and

kept

the

ball there during the second half-hour. The

Round

Towers played a defensive game, lining up three

deep

front of their goal and points. A fierce

scrimmage

took place near the Knockarush goal in which one

the jerseys of the Wolfe Tones was torn, and the

ball

having been driven behind the referee, allowed a

free kick. Cryan took the kick, and scored a

point.

The Round Towers adopted tactics of delay, and

for

kicking the ball outside the touch lines, they

were

fequently hooted by the spectators.

In the final scrimmage the ball was sent flying

for their point posts, but was caught by one of

the

Round-Towers. A fierce tussle follwed, the men

on both sides swarming up, and finally all went

over the goal-line a few yards from the

point-posts.

At call of time, the score stood - Knockarush

two

points; Cootehall: one point. The Wolfe Tones

entered an objection, that two members of

another

club played with Knockarush. They also claimed a

goal

and a point which did not come under the

observation

of the referee, or of any uninterested

spectators.

The following teams are:-

KNOCKARUSH: - Pat Morris, E. Beirne, P. Tansey,

James Connor, J.Cox, Michael Sharkey, Tim
