I have located in the 1911 census my Great Grandmother, Margaret (Margret) Crehan, her son Martin and daughter Margret (Margaret) at House 15, Castlegar, Ballynakill and two other daughters Maria and Annie at House 4.

I am seeking more recent records or information about them.

  • I located two civil death index records which possibly could be for Margaret Crehan (the mother) and Martin Crehan (her son). You can get copies of these records for approximately 4 euros each from the General Register Office. Instructions are below the index records.

    Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx In the middle of the page there are links for birth, marriage or death certificates. Hit the link for the form you want. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. (This is a program bug that the GRO has to correct). Hit cancel and the appropriate form should come up. Print the form and complete the requested information. Also provide the information from the index record--quarter/year of the event. registration district and the volume and page number where the event is recorded. Make sure you ask for a copy which costs around 4 euros. ( A cert costs closer to 20 euros). You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you
