Ward/Crosson families

Hi,

Drumnaveil is in the Maudabawn area between Shercock and Cootehill.  There are still Crossans in the area.  Judging by the census there were a number of families.  As you are coming shortly the quickest way to see if you can track living families would be to use the phone book.  I used eircomphonebook.ie and looked up residential & found one with the spelling Crossan, so you could ring that number and see if they can give you any directions or suggestions.  Drumgoon would be the parish, it is a rural area, however they have a grat community spirit and they are very helpful & welcoming.  There is a facebook page for Drumgoon Hill Old Graveyard https://www.facebook.com/Drumgoon-Hill-Old-Graveyard-1648727305436507/ you could send them a message and see what they can find for you.  You could also contact the local priests and ask them to put a message in the church newsletters, with your contact details.  I could not find their email address, but their contact details are as follows: 

Very Rev. John Cooney PP VF 

Address: Parochial House Station Rd , Cootehill, Co. Cavan

Phone: 0035349 5552163

Rev. Michael Gilsenan SSCC, CC 

Address: Parochial House Maudabawn, Cootehill, Co. Cavan  

Best of luck with your search.
