I'm trying to find any information at all about Bridget Crahan before she moved to Lancashire, England. She was born abt. 1840 in Navan, I am unable to find her marriage in England as yet so I don't know her Father's name. Perhaps somebody in Ireland is researching the Crahan family, it's quite an unusal name.

Marie There is a gap In the Navan church records from the 1820s to 1850s. However there were a number of Crahan families living in the Oristown/Wilkinstown area which is just outside Navan. (Ref; Church Records,Griffiths Valuation, Flax Growers 1796, Census 1901.) There is just one Bridget Crahan listed in Oristown parish, the entry reads:-
14th September 1835 - Bridget to Laurence Crahan and Mary Hickey.
Hope the above information will be of use to you. Regards; The Wanderer.
