Upper Creggan RC Church
« on: Sunday 24 August 14 22:33 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know what Roman Catholic church was in Upper Creggan parish in 1821 ?   A copy of a marriage record was obtained from Rootsireland last night.  It gives the date of the marriage as being 23 April  1821  but no mention of the name of the church.

Thanks,   Bettye   in California

 Probably the Old Chapel, Moybane, I've posted some material in your previous thread here:

Late last night I went through the entire 1836 list of Roman Catholic parishes that is on this web site.   All I did was confuse myself  - LOL.    The 2 possible answers I came up with were:
townland Crossmaglen  in Upper Creggan  (civil parish Creggan)
                         and
townland of Monog    Barony Upper Fews  (civil parish Creggan)   and this which I did not            understand:  PLU  Castleblayney

I will now look at what has been posted as a response to my query.

THANK YOU,   Bettye

I knew the potato famine was awful but until I went to the link that Gaffy sent I did not realize how terrible things were in Ireland.     In the USA we had the 'Dust Bowl' in the 1930s which centered around Oklahoma  and some surrounding states.  Steinbeck's book  Grapes of Wrath was written about the people who experienced it.   

Regards,  Bettye
