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.

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

Certificates
all isuued in Australia
where she married an Englishman:
Marriage Cert. 1855 Age shown 21 ie born C
1834
Maiden

Winifred ( Lonsey)

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

1838
Maiden

CRANE
Father
Paul
Mother Winifred

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

bright ideas?
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.
