In my tree I have a Patrick Crann born abt 1830 who  married a Mary Clabby and they had a daughter Mary Crann born October 10,  1864 who married Patrick Mulvihill on September 27, 1891 in the Roman Catholic parish of Elphin, Roscommon.  Have not had much luck gettin back on my Crann family either! 

Greetings,

My grandmother was Nora Cryan from Boyle, Roscommon. Are you still searching for information about your Cryan ancestor(s)?

Best regards,

My Cryan Genealogy
My great great grandfather, John Cryan, married Margaret Dolan in Boyle, Co. Roscommon in 1858 and spent his life in Croghan, about 5 miles south of Boyle, working as a National School teacher (where he is still remembered as Master Cryan) until his death in 1906. From his age on his Death Certificate I believe he was born around 1833 and a reference to a family who had a son, John, at that time has been found. This was a couple, John Cryan and Catherine Drury, who married in 1829 in Croghan and had three sons John (b.1833 in Boyle), James (b.1842 in Boyle) and Patrick (b.1831 in Croghan). I do not know what happened to Patrick and James. Does this information sound familiar to you? Have you ever heard talk of a Master Cryan in your family? Maybe these names have been passed down through the generations as they have in my family. Please let me know at caoimhghin@yahoo.com
