Crowley

CorkKilnamartry (Cork)Macroom (Cork)

My great-grandmother, Margaret E. Crowley, was born in Kilnamartyra in 1873 to Margaret (Peg) Mullane and Jeremiah Crowley.  Her siblings were Hannah, Timothy, Cornelius, Katherine, Julia, Jeremiah...

I have found parish baptismal records for her siblings, but can't find hers, but surmise that since the rest of the family was baptized in Kilnamartyra, she would have been as well.

Curious if anyone locally is related to this branch? Most of the Crowleys eventually emigrated to America and settled in and around San Francisco.  Margaret married Denis Cronin in San Francisco (he was from Macroom, but they met in SF.)

 

Would love to hear anything anyone may have! Thank you! :)

On the subscription site Roots Ireland, there is an October 6 1869 baptismal record in Macroom for a Margaret Crowley with father Jeremaih. The mother is shown as Mary Mullane but I believe this is the correct record for your great-grandmother. Many immigrants made themseleves younger when they came to their new country.

Here is the related civil birth record for Maragret in 1869. Date of birth shown is December 13th which differs from the baptismal record. Parents had 30 days to register a birth or suffer a fine. So if parents were beyond 30 days when registering a birth, they changed the date of birth to be within the 30 day timeframe.

The place name is shown as Rahuna. I will see if I can locate that townland.
