Hello from Melbourne.I have been searching for

many years and now am asking your help.

 

My relative is shown as Catherine CRYAN, but on

her marriage Cert. it is CREON. Father Paul, a

farmer. Mother Winifred (nee Lonsey), place of birth

Roscommon. DOB circa 1838

 

It is said that the family migrated to USA when

Catherine was 'little'. This may be true as her

death Cert shows birthplace as Maysville Kentucky.

A Grand Aunt always said that Catherine was

Irish. Catherine married Charles WELCH in Melbourne in

1855.

 

I do hope someone can assist me. Cheers, Bob.

Kevin, allow me to introduce myself.  I am Dermot Cryan and I am part of the tree that Peter Cryan is perhaps tracing - he is a first cousin of my dad (he is listed as Peter Cryan, "Ave Maria",43 Braemor Rd, Churchtown Dublin 14).  I am trying to do my own research although I live in the U.S. and would be very interested in getting copies of the information that you have already gathered - would it be possible to get copies/ jpeg versions or is this a box full of information that requires on-site work, in which case I'd love to get together with you next time I am home to do a little research.  I don't have an e-mail address for Peter - has he perhaps pursued analyzing some of the info separately?  I think you met my Dad once.  He lives at Killumod crossroads on the Elphin Carrick on Shannon road.

Subject: [Cryan et al.] John P.Cryan of Lowell, MA

 

   

Found the following article in a local

newspaper...

 

Lowell Sunday Telegram (Lowell, MA)  May 15, 1933

 

 

PEOPLE YOU KNOW

 

One who will be a participant and who is doing

his utmost to make the State

Department of Spanish-American War Veterans

convention here on June 9, 10, 11,

a great success is John P. Cryan, born here April

14, 1874.  Mr. Cryan has

made Lowell his home throughout his life, and in

the public schools of the city

his preliminary education was obtained.

 

After leaving school, the mills of the city

became his place of employment

until 1897,  The declaration of war by the United

States against Spain in 1898

found him in New York.  Hurrying to his home

city, he enlisted in Company G

Sixth Massachussetts Infantry and was detailed to

Camp Alger in Falls Church, VA

and from there he was sent to Porto Rico with the

command.

 

At the close of the war following his honorable

discharge, Mr. Cryan returned

to Lowell and opened a store on Broadway which

continued for several years. 

While in that endeavor he had charge of the

distribution of the Sunday

Telegram in that community and had a squad of

youngsters under his direction in that

duty.

 

Mr. Cryan then took up the vocation of a

travelling salesman, also was

employed by the Turner Centre Creamery for years

following its establishment here,

and during the World War was fixer foreman of the

Capping department in the

plant of the United State Cartridge company. 

After the armistace, Mr. Cryan

resumed his duties as travelling salesman for a

Boston food broker.

 

For a long period he was greatly interested in

adult education, being

president of the Morgan club composed of students

of the University Extension

Division of the State Department of Education

which was the prime mover in having the

largest classes of adult students ever assembled

in this city for the study

of salesmanship, public speaking and advertising.

 

A Democratic candidate for representative in the

14th district last fall, he

is a member of the Democratic city committee and

of the executive committee of

Ward 4.  Other organizations and groups that

claim him as an energetic and

interested member are the following:  Past

commander of the General Adelbert

Ames Camp 19, Spanish War Veterans;  clerk of the

committee of Butler Memorial

committee of the Centennial year; past counsellor

of Lowell council of the

United Commercial Travellers of America and

secretary-treasurer for the past 16

years; was member of the first board of directors

of the C.Y.M.L. of St.

Patrick's church parish and served on that board

for three years; and is member of the

committee for the observance of Memorial Day this

year, representing General

Adelbert Ames camp 19.

 

With the resumption of business activities in

various lines of industry, Mr.

Cryan looks forward to resuming his duties as a

travelling salesman from which

he has been suspended for a period.

 

A hobby of his yet is adult education along lines

that will make the

individual a better citizen.

 

The 25th anniversary of his marriage to Miss Anna

G. O'Reilly of this city

was observed by them in September last.  They

have 9 children, seven boys and

two girls, all of whom are living; James, Frank,

Arthur who is married and

resides in New York; John P. Jr., Catherine,

Alleen, Thomas, Paul and Gerald.  The

family home is at 59 Temple St.

Subject: [Cryan et al.] Stephen Crean

 

   

Stephen Crean,  my great- uncle,  was born in

Wales in 1857.  His parents were Irish immigrants

and he was the eldest child in a growing family. 

His father was a mason i.e. a bricklayer and times

were obviously difficult. In spite of this,  he

became an accomplished cornet player and,  in

1879,  he emigrated to New York, and,  on one

occasion at the age of 23,  played a solo in Central

Park, New York.  He went on to have an exceptional

career as a soloist cornet player.

 

Later on,  he moved to Cook County,  Chicago, 

and married a French lady named Stella. I don't

know her surname.  I believe that on 9/20/1913 he

was shot and killed by his business partner.  I was

told much of this by my mother,  who had a great

affection for her Uncle Steve, so much so that

she named me after him.

I have,  for a long time now,  sought information

on my namesake. As many of you know that,  when

investigating your past,  people can become not

exactly flesh and blood, but  tend  to take on

shape and form.  I often think of this newly- arrived

young man playing his cornet in Central Park, and

I would dearly like to know what happened on the

9/20/1913.

 

If anyone can assist me I would be most grateful.

Hi.

 

I'm a great-granddaughter of Matthew J. Cryan,

who was supposed to have

come over from Ireland around 1885 (haven't found

out exactly when yet).

  His parents were supposed to be Thomas Cryan

and Ann Duignan (sp?).

And he was supposed to live in Frenchlawn,

Roscommon, IRE.  I have heard

from family stories that there were supposed to

be about 6 kids, but I

don't know the names, only that at least one was

a girl. Only Matthew

was supposed to have come to the US, in

childhood, but I don't know if

the parents came with him. Any insight you might

have would be

appreciated.

 

Also, I have pictures of Mary Cryan my gr-aunt

with a Sister M. Germaine

Cryan - who I've seen in US Censuses in the

Kalamazoo area around 1920

but am not sure if she was a relation.  And also

a picture of Mary with

Father Basil Cryan and his sister (no name given

on the back of the

photo).  I'm not sure how/if he was related.

There were supposed to be

6 children, at least 1 that became a priest, and

at least one was a

Hello from Australia. I am trying to find

relatives of Catherine who came

to  Australia in 1854. I have been hampered

because on various documents

here, her name is shown as CREON/CRANE/CRYAN and

even CRYING

 

My problem is that I have no idea of Catherine's

maiden name, age, or place

of birth. Here are the conflicting Certificates

all isuued in Australia

where she married an Englishman:

 

Marriage Cert. 1855    Age shown 21 ie born C

1834

                                 Maiden Name   

CREON

                                  Father             

Paul

                                  Mother             

Winifred ( Lonsey)

                                  Born Roscommon

Co.

 

Son's Birth Cert 1877    Age 40 ie born C 1837

                                  Maiden Name   

CRYAN

                                   Born Mayswell

Kentucky USA

 

Death Cert 1907            Age 69 ie born Circa

1838

                                    Maiden Name   

CRANE

                                    Father               

Paul

                            Mother Winifred

(Lawrence)

                     Born Maysville Mason

Co.Kentucky

 

So, there you have all the data that I have. I

suspect that she lied about

her age when married as she was probably only

17/18. The other 2 Certs

indicate her birth as 1837/8

 

If you have any ideas/suggestions, these would be

greatly welcomed. I am

also on th Roscommon list, Kentugky census look

up list and Mason County

list

Fellow researchers,

 

I'm hoping you won't mid this little email asking

for help, because I've hit

a brick wall and my head hurts. Add to that the

fact that my desktop crashed

and burned and took out all my genealogy files,

and you've got a sad little

genealogical spelunker on your hands.

 

Here are the bricks that make up my wall:

 

My great-grandfather, James Crehan, was born

~1861. Family history says he

was born in Hingham, MA, but I am unable to

locate a birth record for him,

though I have located birth records for siblings

before and after him in

Hingham.

 

I have located a marriage certificate for him,

and a newspaper article about

his wedding. (I will send the text of this

article to the list under

separate email)

 

Family history also says that James left his wife

and children shortly after

the birth of my grandfather in 1901; my aunt

knows nothing of where he went,

only that it was "away" and that he was never

heard from again. However,

I've located Hingham's List of Persons Assessed a

Poll Tax records, a yearly

publication - and James appears on that list

until 1909, much to my aunt's

astonishment.

 

I've located the gravestone of my great-great

grandparents; James is not

listed on it.

 

I have no idea how to figure out when James died,

and where. He's my little

mystery, and if I could just get some more

documentation on him I think I

could put a few more pieces together,

 

Any thoughts, bright ideas, flashes of

inspiration or shots in the dark?

They'd all be appreciated!!

 

~ Ali

 

p.s. - I do, of course, have hard copies of

everything that was on my

computer - I'm just frustrated at the thought of

having to recreate my

lovely and helpful database from scratch. Ugh.
