Hi there,
My father is the James Crowley born to James and Rose McMahon (Clare) and I would love to know more about my family in Ireland or at least the story behind James who emigrated here in 1924. My father (James' and Rose's son) is deceased as is Rose obviously and I never really got the story since I was always told that James from Ireland was deceased prior to my father's death. Again, I would really appreciate any information that you have.
Thank you so much!

Hello,
Great to hear from a cousin whose grandfather James was a brother of my Patrick Crowley. I have done extensive research on the Crowley family and it's ongoing.
James was 22 years old when he arrived in New York and onwards to his brother Martin who resided in Chicago. Your grandmother Rose was expecting your dad when the accident happened. I don't want to go into personal details on this page. You have to make 3 postings before I can personal message you.

My father James Crowley (son of James and Rose McMahon) was an only child. Rose never remarried and two sisters, Beatrice McMahon and Margaret McMahon all helped raise my father.

Also, from what I was told, Rose ended up working as a housekeeper for a family in Evanston, Illinois and my father lived with a family by the last name of Sullivan here in Chicago. I was told that this Sullivan family was a married couple who couldn't have children and adopted an infant named Lawrence. Lawrence ended up being mildly retarded and when Mrs. Sullivan passed away and then Mr. Sullivan passed afterward, the home was given to Rose with the agreement that she would continue to care for Lawrence. It was in that home that my father, James Crowley, grew up and Rose then lived in with Lawrence and my father and worked as a housekeeper in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago.

Can you tell me why your grandparents are not buried together? Your late father was left some $ when his Uncle Martin died.

The Sullivan family would be 1st cousins of your grandfather James.
