Looking for siblings of John Crowley born 1818 to assumed parents John and Mary Crowley (based on naming patterns).

Hi Barbara:

Thank you for your post.

If you have any other information about John and/or Mary Crowley, that would be very helpful.  Do you know when they arrived in Maine?  A ship list or reference?  Any names of parents' on their death certificates?  Names of children, baptismal sponsors and/or marriage witnesses can also give clues to other famiy relationships.  Please feel free to add them to this thread.

You might also consider creating a post about any of them for the Ancestor Profiles feature which is located at the top of the page under the XOChronicles tab.  Many of these profiles are widely read and you may find others researching the same families.

Please let us know if we can assist further

All the best,

Jane

Thanks Jane!

I am still looking for my elusive John Crowley born 1818, somewhere in Ireland (probably County Cork based on dna).  He named his 4 children: Ellen (born 1849 in Maine), Mary (born 1851 in New York), Honora Veronica (born 1857 in Detroit with wife #2), and his only son was John Eugene Crowley (born 1858 in Detroit).  His first wife's name was Margaret O'Leary and they were married in Bangor Maine in 1849. I descend from his 2nd wife, Ellen McCarthy that he married in Detroit in 1856.

Because of the naming patterns, I am assuming that John Crowley's parents were John and Mary.

I am also looking for information regarding Ellen McCarthy. She was supposedly born around 1830 (she was supposedly 26 years old when she married, but later census records say she was born in 1828 or 1834). A distant family member did some research in the 1990's and reported that she was baptised in either Parkaguillane or Lakes of Killarney.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
