John & Mary Cryan (nee Murray)

LeitrimKiltoghert (Leitrim)

I am trying to find birth dates & death dates for my Great Grandparents John & Mary Cryan (nee Murray)

I have found Cryan to be spelt a few different ways for example Crien, Cryne, Crine.

Facts I know are: John & Mary married 4th July 1857 at Kiltoghert Catholic Church Leitrim Ireland.

No parents or dates & places of births were listed on marriage certificate.

Their children were: Maria 1859, Bridget 1860, Patrick 1864,John 1866, Margaret (decsd), James 1870, Margaret 1872, & Michael 1874.

I know that Patrick & family went to Scotland,

Maria, Bridget, John, James, Margaret & Michael migrated to Australia & lived their lives there never returning to Ireland.

I think I found John & Mary Cryan living in Leitrim on the 1911 Census with them was their grandson John (son of James Cryan born 1898 Leitrim).

From that date on I cannot find any death records for John or Mary or any further information on their grandson John.

if anyone has any further information I would be very grateful.

I think I located the civil death index record for John in 1916 which is below. They lived in the Carrick on Shannon registration district. I did not find a record for Mary Possibly if she was still alive when John passed she moved to a different area. You can get a copy of the death record from the general Register Office for around 4 euros. If you want a copy let me know and I will provide instructions.

Thank you Roger for the information, yes I would like details how to obtain the death certificate if that isn't to much trouble for you. I am very grateful.

Go to this link  https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

Print out the death form, fill the form out to the best of your ability and including the info from the index record: quater/year of death, registration district and volume and page number. Make sure you only ask for a copy. You have to mail the request to GRO in Co. Roscommon (address is provided with the form) but you can ask GRO to e-mail the copy back. I provide my credit card number and have never had an issue.
