Looking for Michael and Honora Creeden
Hello,
My great great grandparents are Michael and Honora Creeden. The earliest valid information I have about them is the 1861 England census. They lived inPearce's Alley, Old Brentford, Ealing, Middlesex, England.Michael was 42,Honore Creaden was30, both born in Ireland, and in Cork on a later census.The children are all listed as being born in Brentford: John Creaden 5,Jeremiah Creaden4,Ellen Creaden11/12,Caroline Veen 9 (stepdaughter). The name transcribed as Caroline Veen is hard to decipher.
I have found a Griffith's Valuation with a Michael Creedon in Balleymakeery, Parish of Ballyvourney. Also an Honora Lynch next door. And an Eleanor Creedon next door as well as a forge rented by Michael and a smithy rented by a DanielCreedon. And a Patrick Creedon. A family tree of a person I don't know gives Honora's maiden name as Lynchbut I have no idea I'd this is accurate.
Also In Ballyvourney there was a Denis and a William Creedon in Langansalla,a Catherine in Cappagh West, an Honoria Creedon in Inchamore,a JeremiahCreedon in Ullanes East,an Honoria Buckley in Coolavoher and an Honoria Hansen? in Bardinch.
An Honora Lynch was baptized in 1823, Roman Catholic, Ballyvourney. Father Dan. Lynch, mother Norry Lynch. But census and death records that I know are accurate give her birth dates as 1828-1831.
I don't have a marriage record for Michael and Honora which would clear things up. I also don't know how close these town lands are and if it means they're less likely to be related if they're in different town lands.
I have a baptism record for a Michael Creedonon8 Sep1822Roman Catholic, Inchigeelagh Parish, Barony W Muskerry, Cork, Cork Co, Ireland F: William Creedan M: Mary Hurley. I have looked at Griffith's Valuations for Ichigeelagh Parish and found only a Jeremiah Creedon whichwas the name of this Michael Creedon's brother born in 1817.
Griffith's Valuations for Inchigeelagh show only a Jeremiah Creedon or possibly two.I found no Hurleys in Ballyvourney, but a few in Inchigeelagh/Iveleary in 1821.
I'd appreciate any help in sorting through these people and identifying if any are my ancestors. Thank-you!
