Title: Bridget Crahan in Navan
Post by: whales on Friday 03 June 05 16:06 BST (UK)
Hello,

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.

Regards.

Marie.

Hello,

Thank you for your message, will look forward to hearing from you.   I still haven't found her marriage in England and I have checked all of the BMD's.

 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.

Don't know if this helps but I knew a Pat Crahan from Gibbstown ( next to Oristown/Wilkinstown) and he must have been in his 50's in 1968.
