Hi,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

Have you tried searching in church records for information?

 

Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be helpful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. Crumlin is in the Roman Catholic Parish of Glenavy, to see what records are available there follow this link:
