Descendants of Cornelius Crowley & Mary Clifford of Mountfalvey

John:

I'm not sure why the baptismal record for Cornelius is not on the www.irishgenealogy.ie site.

On July 8th, the National Library of Ireland plans to place all RC parish registers online for free searching. I would review the Castleisland register at that time.

John: Just now saw your post. I have a Cornelius b abt 1826 in Beara (7 miles from Co Kerry). was in Wales in 1851 and then disappears. I have been lookomg for him for 40 years! This is a long shot but do you know the father's narne of your Con?

Thanks in advance, Tom Crowley

Hi

I am a descendant of Dennis Crowley (1842-1909) & Mary Cournane of Castleisland. I believe that he had brothers named Cornelius, Timothy and Michael but have found this difficult to prove as so many family members were given the same name!

Most of Denis' sons emigrated to America but one of his granddaughters went to Australia and there are descendents there currently.

I would be interested to compare notes with any Crowleys out there.

Mandy,

With further research I determined that Cornelius Crowley (no parish baptism record can be found) was the son of Cornelius Crowley and Mary Clifford of Mount Falvey (also known as Knockyeala).  He married Elizabeth Mahoney.  The family can be found in the 1901 census at: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Kerry/Derreen/Knockyeala/1427368/

Some Cornelius & Elizabeth's children emigrated to Massachusetts.

There was another two Crowley families in Mount Falvey in the 1901 census.

 The children of Cornelius Crowley & Mary Clifford that I could find baptisms for were as follows (spelt as indexed in Irishgenealogy.ie):

3 May 1829  Honora Crawly  

13 July 1847  Ann Crowley  (married Timothy Denehy of Rean in Rathmore 1869)

24 March 1831  Mary Crouley  

18 Nov 1849  Denis Crowly  

15 Nov 1840  Juliana Canty  (probably Johanna Crowley who emigrated to Australia in 1862 & married James Creedon)

1 June 1845  Helen Crowly  

15 Oct 1838  John Crouly

Hi Sean, I think my Grandfather and your Grandfather were brothers.
