James Joseph Craven

[dathai]

Through finding the marriages of some of Daniel Cravens sisters i was able to get his mothers full name which is Margaret Healy,which led to his baptism
Daniel Craven baptised St Nicholas 21 June 1842 to James Craven and Margaret Healy                           some of his siblings were baptised from the Bride St area no's 65 and 16.

Hi,note you are trying to track James Joseph Craven born 1902 Dublin and married for third timeto MaggieMcCormick.  James was married to my aunt jane Kelly in 1925, she died in 1931.  I have details of his parents etc, if you would like furtherdetails.  Father  Patrick Craven born 1876 and mother Mary Ann McLoughlin born 1879. James brother Patrick Craven was also married to Janes sister Dora.  If you need any further inforbe happy to help.

Just looked at the prision registers - the 1924 record for James Craven is just an index  listing of prisoners no further information.
Just to muddy the waters -- there are two entries for a James Craven in the prison registers one in 1915 and one 24 Jan 1917 but this is an older James Craven b. c.1896 age 21 5ft 6 and half inches Fair hair brown eyes fresh complexion. Born Meath St present residence James St Father Joseph same address Soldier 4 RDF (Royal Dublin Fusiliers?) Service no 8698 Offence Absence fro H.M. Army - he was handed over to a military escort.
 The 1915 entry is for the same person same offence.
Possibly not related.

Hi sarah/olive,

I am researching on behalf of one of James Joseph Craven's great grandchildren and son.  I have forwarded your message as they have not been aware of there being three marriages.  Stay tuned.

[olive donovan]

Glad to be able to help.  Are you a professional geneologist.   I have been researching my family for 5 years now as a hobby. I assume James son is not living in Ireland. 

[olive donovan]

Forget to mention I will be visiting James Craven's niece Angela tomorrow for her 86th birthday, she is the daughter of his brother and my first cousin.

[Jessies Mum]

You are correct Olive, James son lives in Australia.  Do you have a marriage certificate of James and Jane?  Please let me know - I have advised the family of your line

[olive donovan]

Yes have full details, are the family unaware of this marriage and the child born to them, John Charles Craven now deceased.   As I really do not know who requires this information, I am a little reluctant to release any personal details, other than what is obtainable on line. I need to know who I am more thank you.
