Looking for birth, marriage and death records (and relatives) for Patrick J Crehan, Roman Catholic Priest. Patrick was killed in a motorbike accident in 1957 in Ireland when he was 45. At the time (or a year or so before his death) he was parish priest of a church in Balanafad Southern Ireland and was educated at Monouth College, Ireland. He had an older brother John (who lived in north London for a while probably in the forties), a younger brother (Brendan?) and two sisters. One was known as (Kit, or Keat), Kathleen or Catherine may have been her real name and the other sister was called Mary? The family came from Newbridge County Galway. I believe the father was a magistrate and also, the daughter Kit was married to a Czechoslovakian (apparently he worked for the intelligence service presumably the British or Czech one). PJ Crehan served as a priest in Lewisham, London, England (St, Saviour’s church) during World War 2 and returned to Ireland around 1946.
