CRYAN FAMILY
« on: Saturday 07 April 18 16:36 BST (UK) »
Have just found out my great great grandfather JAMES CRYAN, (1814-1877) Master Cooper, was born in Sligo. He married Mary Neilson (1817-1898). I know he died in Sligo after which his wife and two daughters moved to Scotland.  Daughter Sarah (born 1836 or 1842) and daughter Winifred (1857-1886).  I have the history in Scotland but would be interested in finding out anything about the Irish part.  I don't know if there were other children.  With large gap between two daughters' birthdates it seems likely there were more.

Does anyone have information on this family please?

Hi,
I always say work backwards.
If 1877 is his actual death year then you will find his death in this site.
The actual image is not available, you would have to pay.
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie

Also, in the Tithe records (1823 to 1837) there is only one record for Neilson in Sligo.

Also, in Griffiths Valuation (1837 to 1864) there are 4 James Cryan so the death record would give an area.
You really need the death record, if you do get it come back to me and I will see if I can help more.
You have to know where to dig.
