Well i have a few scenarios to my genealogy search and i am not sure which one to go with:
a. My ancestor James David Crowley states he is born in 1843 Kilbrittain, Ireland and his parents are David and Catherine Mehegan Crowley but the only Church record i can find in Ireland states he was born in 1837 and Daniel Crowley was born in 1843.
Therefore, begs the question is he James David or Daniel?
All his record dates match up that he was born in 1843.
b. I guess i will never know who my ancestor really is or anything about his family.
c. He came to Australia stating he was a Labourer and on his death certificate it stated he was a Labourer.
d. Either nobody knows anything about him or doesn't want to tell me anything about him.
e. I have seen a record where David and Catherine Mehegan Crowley were married in Kilbrittain in 1843, did they get married the same year James David was born?
f. Strange that his death certificate said he had No Religion when all the Crowley's in my family (except for me and my siblings - our Mother was Church of England) are Devout Catholics.
Final Scenario - i will never know what kind of family he came from, or anything about him, no photos have ever been sited, it just seems to me that he was a drifter with no purpose in life or running away from someone or something. On his death certificate he stated he had no family, only a mother and father. When he walked out and deserted his wife and 7 children, he must have never given his children another thought. He was buried by the undertaker at the gravesite with two witnesses. A very sad ending to one's life.
He is the second ancestor of mine who is buried in an unmarked grave.
This is the end of the ancestry trail.
