Still On The Ancestor Trail

Well here i go again......i actually found a new record, which i hope will lead me in the right direction.  Somebody suggested to me that i try spelling the surname a different way, this is what i achieved:

David Crowley married Catherine Meghan in about 1843 (lists Catherine as being born
about 1822)

My irish/australian ancestor was James David Crowley whose certificates state
he was born in 1843 Kilbrittain, Ireland, with parents
David Crowley and Catherine Meghan.

This David and Catherine were married in Kilbrittain, Ireland.

Maybe James David Crowley was born the same year as his parents got married.



But i still have some hurdles to get over.

One of James David Crowley's grandson's went to Kilbrittain, Ireland and brought
back the following records:

David Crowley marries Catherine Mehegan in 1829, Kilbrittain, Ireland
with baptism dates of the following children:

Johanna            1832
Timothy           1835
James David    1837
David               1840
Daniel              1843
Cornelius         1847
Dennis             1853

I engaged the services of an Irish Genealogist who sent me the following church
record:  David Crowley and Catherine Mehegan married in RC Church, Minister
Rev. Taylor at Ballymodan Kilbrogan Desertserges near Bandon, Cork.

Then i myself found the following:

Baptism Records:

Johanna            1832
no 1st name      1835
James David     1837
David                1840
Daniel               1843
Cornelius          1847
Dennis              1853

Which ones are right and which ones do i discard.

The saga continues.
