Several things puzzle me about my CROWLEY Ancestry:
* why can't i find any other information other than a marriage certificate and a death certificate. do i have the right certificates???? good question!!!!!
* why all the secrecy within families, why can't we just share information and try and get the true picture of who these people are.
* why can i only find a marriage church RECORD of the supposed parents of James David CROWLEY and church records of baptism dates for their children?
* after that it is like they disappeared off the face of the earth?
* why is it so difficult to find out what happened to James David Crowley and Catherine Cameron's children, where did they go?
* who are David CROWLEY and Catherine MEHEGAN? how do we find out anything else about them, would be nice to get a picture of one's ancestors.
* did David and Catherine Mehegan CROWLEY emigrate somewhere??
Why is it so easy to find out all the information about the CROWLEYs who are supposedly relatives of James David CROWLEY (my ancestor) who emigrated to australia. I have lots of information on the relatives.
Did James David Crowley go to New Zealand for a time!!!!
What sort of a man deserts his family, especially his children and at the end of his life denies they ever existed. It is hard to understand what kind of a person he really was when you cannot find out anything about him. What was Catherine Cameron like as a person?
So many unanswered questions, is it possible that i will ever be able to find anything out.
Why did all the other supposed relatives live in Bandon, Ireland and James David Crowley came from Kilbrittain, Ireland. Do these two places have a similar culture, or are they vastly different.
Most of the supposed relatives who emigrated to Australia did very well for themselves. I saw on my ancestors marriage certificate he was a Miner and on his death certificate he was a Labourer. He emigrated to Australia saying on his papers that he was a Labourer.
Are we really related to the CROWLEY families of Trundle NSW, i find that very hard to imagine, because they seem to be completely different people. Devout in faith, community service orientated, made successful lives for themselves, their children were very well educated, had successful lives, other relatives seem to have been successful too. Hard to imagine that my ancestor is related to these CROWLEYs, i cannot see it, i hate to say this BUT if it is true then he must have been from the poor relation family, just a thought, but i consider a very valid one. Most relatives except for a couple seemed to stay married and be family orientated.
What i have learnt about my ancestor James David CROWLEY so far is that he was a womaniser, probably a drunk, mistreated his wife and family. I just do not know anymore. One of his sons, my grandpa lived with his CAMERON grandparents in Beaconsfield, Victoria, but he never talked about his own parents. Someone told me that his mother came to "Victoria Park" once to visit her son, but i do not know whether that is true.
All i know is, that someone in the family knows more than they are willing to tell.
Who knows what i will be blogging about next.
Would be wonderful if i could say i have made a breakthrough!!!!!!!!!!!!
