THESE ARE THE CROWLEY FACTS!!!!!

We have 2 different lines of CROWLEY families in CORK who are supposedly related to each other.

CROWLEY FAMILY NUMBER 1

David Crowley b. 1820 married Honnoria Deasy b. 1820  married (depending on who you want to believe):  some say 1830 which would make her 10 years of age - not likely or another stating late 1830's.

Children:

John
David
James
Daniel
Mary
Nora

These are from Timoleague, Bandon CORK and Danganmore.

James and Daniel Crowley emigrated to Australia, the following Relations of theirs
also emigrated:

Daniel  aka 'chummie dan'

Jeremiah who emigrated with james
Jeremiah
Daniel

Margaret - niece of James and Daniel Crowley (Trundle)


CROWLEY FAMILY NUMBER 2

David Crowley  married   Catherine Mehegan (according to irish church records)
1829 Ballymodan, Cork, Ireland by Rev. Taylor with witnesses Flore Sullivan and Cors Mehegan.

baptism of their children:

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

all with parents David and Catherine Mehegan CROWLEY

James David CROWLEY papers said he was born in 1843 Kilbrittain, Ireland,  to David and Catherine Mehegan CROWLEY - NO SUCH PERSON EXISTS
The only record to be found is James David CROWLEY being born in 1837 to the
above parents.

The letter:  Daniel aka "chummie dan" wrote to James Crowley who was living in Bundalong via Yarrawonga Victoria in 1885.  James David Crowley and Catherine Cameron were living there also in Yarrawonga.

Daniel was informing him cousin Jeremiah and Richard had arrived from Ireland.
He asked after James, Mrs and David (i assume that was his son who was 2 years old), Daniel (who was unmarried at the time, but later married in 1885 in Yarrawonga).
JD and Mrs and Family, Mr and Mrs Egan and Mr O'Brien.

NOW THE LEADING QUESTION:

are these two families related.
why can't catherine mehegan crowley be found.
did Catherine and David Crowley emigrate.
why is one family so secretive, the other open like a book.


David and Honnoria Deasy CROWLEY - david's father:  David Crowley
David and Catherine Mehegan CROWLEY - david's father:  David Crowley

Daniel aka "chummie dan" CROWLEY - his father David Crowley b. 1844

Denis
Timothy
Daniel aka 'chaffcutter dan' - parents:  David and Kitty CROWLEY, Ireland


MY GREAT GRANDPA James David Crowley married Catherine Cameron
30 September 1873 in James's House in Wallan Wallan, Victoria by Rev. Muir
Presbyterian Minister.

James deserts his family in 1889.  His wife Catherine petitions twice for divorce but both times the Judge refuses.  James David Crowley is dead 1 week later after her last attempt on 14 February 1900.

James David Crowley himself admits to maltreating Catherine, womanisting, going to New Zealand, had a woman in Melbourne and one stashed away close by his farm in Yarrawonga, where he lived with Catherine and his children.  Catherine stated he disappeared for long periods of time without saying where he was going or where he went, admitted to visiting Chinese Camps, offered Catherine 50 pounds to go away.
NOT AN ANCESTOR YOU WANT TO ADMIRE ON YOUR FAMILY TREE.

I just want to learn more about my Irish Heritage, i don't care anything about him.
I feel very sorry for his children, What an SOB he was.

James David CROWLEY dies 23 February 1900 in Corowa Hospital from aneurism to the Lung, is buried the next day by the Undertaker Charles Clayton and 2 witnesses, i would assume he is in an unmarked grave. The informant was the matron of the hospital, it stated he was 47....how funny ha ha is that, he had no children, never married, no religion.........ARE YOU ALLOWED TO SWEAR ON THIS BLOG, I GUESS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There really is nothing more to learn.  I don't know anything about my Irish Heritage, i guess i don't really have any.

My family tree ends with my GRANDPA James Duncan CROWLEY whose father was James David Crowley, he was brought up by his Cameron Grandparents in Beaconsfield, according to him.  He never spoke of his parents.
Someone said Catherine Cameron came to "Victoria Park"once, must have been a long time ago.  She died in 1949 in Sydney as Mrs Hillman.  She got remarried three more times according to me, but relatives swear black and blue it was only two, who knows and who really cares.

NOT ME.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
