Carrowreagh Cryans
Patricia Buker
Currently, there are 3 Cryan families in Carrowreagh
(that we know of) and they are all related to Sean Rua Cryan, approx 4
generations back. From what I understand, my Gr.Gr.Grandfather Sean Rua
(Red John) had 8 daughters and 5 sons. Two of the sons died young and
the farm was split between the remaining 3 sons, Patrick (Padraig Rua),
Martin & Peter Cryan. The property on which the family house was located
was left to Padraig Rua who is my direct ancestor.
Sean Rua married a woman with the maiden name Carney. I
believe that there were 8 daughters & 5 sons. The birth dates are not
known at this time

in black text, my Grandmother Delia Cryan
communicated the history in 1980.
-
In blue text, an obituary from 1907 names sisters
and brother-in-laws. Using this as a reference, there appear to be
alternate surnames. For this reason, I’ve included both for
cross-reference purposes.
-
Also, the obituary from 1907 also references uncles
which suggested that Sean Rua had a brother Luke Cryan. The same
obituary suggests that his Sean Rua’s wife had brothers Peter
Carney, John Carney & Martin Carney.
