Hi,
I am still trying to trace THOMAS CROWLEY, b.c.1864 and JULIA SULLIVAN b.c.1868. They came to Cardiff at some point, possibly during the potato famine, and married in Roath, Cardiff in 1884. I know that JULIA shelled seafood and was apparently quite a chmapion at doing so!
Thanks

I have just passed on a birth cert to relatives in Wales re-Crowley name. There may be a connection as the certificate was registered in Cork and Sullivan is common to that area. There is a Crowley Clan reunion planned for September in Cork but I will have to look up the name of the Hotel.
Meantime there is also a site you might try
www.irishclangeathering.com/clan/info
PS There may be an 'S' in geathering
I have a sneaky feeling we might be talking about the same family.

Many thanks. No joy with that web address I am afraid. Can you check it for me? Thomas and Julia are my aunt's grandparents.
Many thanks

TRY
www.crowleyclan.com/community/newsletter
Clan geathering from around the world is on the weekend of 14-16th Sept 2007 at the Quality Hotel Clonakilty (I presume Co. Cork) Phone 00-353-23-36-400
Group reference 439 Crowley Clan geathering.
There is a hotel website & email address but I'm not sure about posting ++hotel info here as it might be classed as advertising.
Best I can do and hope it helps.
