Greetings from New Zealand
After having so much success through this site recently with another branch of my family, I am keen to see if I can follow up my gg grandfather, Patrick (Pat) Crow who was baptized on 6 Mar 1836. His parents were given as Anthy Crow and Nelly Glyn on the baptism record and Anthony Crow & Ellen Glenn on his death certificate. The sponsors at his baptism were Thomas Kevin and Sibina Crow of Ballybane.
Patrick came to New Zealand in 1860 and was a farmer until his early death at age 42. I would love to know where he lived in Galway and if any family remained in the area.
Thanks

Welcome back!
The entry on the Castlegar parish register shows Ballybane for the Anthony Crow family not the sponsors.
I think Ballybane is Ballybaan in St. Nicholas civil parish which is essentially Galway town. I can't help you with family still in the area.

I don't think you need to post in St. Nicholas. All fo the parish postings end up on the main message board.

Hi Heather
Have just joined this site. My Crowes are from Ballindooley. There were 2 Crowe families there, and at least one from the 'other' family came to NZ and farmed in Southland. Is there possibly some connection with your Patrick?
