Hi, I am researching my father's side of the family. Here is what I think I know. My 3rd great grandfather was John Welstead Croker born in 1829, baptized 6 Sep 1829 in Mallow. His parents were Eyre Coote Croker b.1800, and Frances Welstead b 1807, they were married in Cork in 1827. The family immigrated to the United States in the mid 1850's. John's other siblings that also immigrated were : Henry,b.1828; George,b.1830; Harriet,b.1831; Mary,b.1834; Edward,b1836; Honoria,b.1840; Richard Welstead Croker,b1842. I would appreciate any other information anyone might have about where they lived,etc.........Thanks, Melinda Duggan

The 1901-1911 census for Cork might give you some clues;

Estate record Croker from Quartertown Mallow county Cork
Major Henry Croker of Quarterstown, county Cork was the fifth son of John Croker of Ballynaguarde, county Limerick. In 1793, Henry married Harriet, daughter and heiress of Arthur Dillon of Quarterstown, county Cork and they had five sons. Over 3000 acres owned by John and Henry Dillon Croker, in the barony of Glanarought, county Kerry, the estate of Quartertown, Mallow, county Cork and houses in the city of Limerick, were offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in January 1851. Some of the Kerry property was occupied by the Orpen estate and it is clear that a legal dispute on the subject had occurred in the 1840s. Part of Quartertown Lower, including Wilton, was purchased by Kingsmill Brady in 1851 and was advertised for sale again in November 1876. In the 1870s John D. Croker owned 33 acres in the county. Richard Welstead Croker generally known as "Boss Croker" was a nephew of John D. Croker.
