Crowleys in Sneem

HI
Thank you for your message.

You might try: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/ for an over-view of information for County Kerry.

If you haven't already - you might try checking Valuations office in Dublin (http://www.valoff.ie) will have a record of the land registry from 1855 to modern times. This will assist in seeing what happened to any property the family may have owned. Civil registration records are available from the General Register Office (GRO). These start from 1864. You can access the website here: http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm

You could also try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp
or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) https://familysearch.org/ for other relatives.

Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at ). www.failteromhat.com

I am so pleased to find your posting.  I live outside of Boston, Massachusetts in the United States and have been conducting geneology research on my family for the past 15 years.  Patrick and Bridget Crowley lived  in Boston.  They married in 1864 and emigrated to Boston (on the SS Pavonia) in 1891.  Patrick is my great-great grandfather on my father's mother's side.  Their children included: Charles, James, John, Maurice, Lucy and Patrick.

Patrick and his son Patrick both died in 1904 as did his son Patrick (9 days apart, both from pneumonia).  I have a great deal of information on the Crowley clan that landed in Boston in 1891 b ut am looking for more information on their life in Sneem prior to emigrating.

Please feel free to contact me: cluska@verizon.net

 

Hello

I am also researching Charles Crowley and Ellen Downes.  I am related thru their son Maurice (Patrick's brother).  I know this thread is a bit old but wanted to post anyway. 

I anyone has any info on Charles Crowley (b1808) and Ellen Downes (b1811), I would be very interested.

Thank you.
