Gerard,
Rose Ward's death (Sep 5, 1915) certificate showed Sarah Murphy and unknown Creagan as her parents and Feb 2, 1851 as her date of birth. Information was given by Mary McCormick, 115 Fleming St. Her obituary showed Ann McCracken as her sister (Buffalo Daily Courier on Sept 6, 1915.

Dear Brian,

Below is part of what I have on Rose Creagan and Dennis Ward. As I told you at Shirley McCormick's wake, Patricia McCormick Morrisey & I will cooperate in sharing whatever records we have. I have copies of the Ward children's Scotland birth certificates, if you want them. I have no record showing Rose Ann Creagan/Craigan/Cregon Ward's specific birth date or her mother's name. Do you remember your source for this? Thanks much, Gerard Morrisey, Albion NY.

Sarah Murphy and ? Creagan, daughter Rose Creagan

eaurcarol — 2010-07-23 19:16:45Z

Sarah Murphy and ? Creagan married in Ireland and had a daughter Rose Creagan, born 02 Feb 1851. Rose married Dennis Ward in Ireland. They had seven children, the first two we believe were born in Ireland;Ellen born around 1872 and Dennis born around 1876. Dennis and Rose are my great-grandparents. They emmigrated to Buffalo, NY, USA and gave birth to my grandmother Mary Elizabeth Ward on 27 Apr 1879 and then had James, Margaret, John, and Robert. Dennis Ward was gored by a bull and died 13 Sep 1893 and Rose died 05 Sep 1915 in Buffalo, NY. Looking for any information on births, marriages, deaths, siblings.

I just came across this post you put up back in 2000 and was wondering if you are still reachable. I have some information about Mary Cregan, my grandmother, who lived in Binghamton, NY and was married to my grandfather, John H. Minehan. She died in 1921 and her death certificate lists her parents as Patrick Cregan and Anna Mangan, both from Co. Clare. This sounds like it could be the same family you are looking for.

Please respond to this if you're monitoring and I can go into more detail.

I do not find a "Birminham" in New York State; perhaps BINGHAMTON in Broome County NY? This city abuts the northeast corner of Pennsylvania. The City of Rochester in in Monroe County NY. Perhaps posting in these counties might give you a lead, especially with the possible spellings of Creagan, Crehan, Creagen, Creagan etc. Good Luck

John's middle name is/was Warren. I understand he is no longer alive. John Warren Creagan may be my father. I have very little info; only that he was at one time living in Buffalo.

I am researching any family lines from Patrick Creagan and wife Catherine O'Rourke . They were married in Bruff, Co. Limerick, Ire. March 1, 1829 at the parish in Bruff.Some records call him Patrick John Creagan. The church in Bruff says records show bapt. of Lawrence ,16 Jan. 1830... Michael, 30 July, 1831....Johanna Sept. 10. 1834..... our great grandmother Honora was a unregistered child, prob.if the child was ill and then some tiomes bapt. at home and the priest would forget to reg. the person. Her birth was July 1840.I think Lawrenc came to Am. before the parents did in abt. 1851/52. Hope one of you are relation. <jgall442@earthlink.net> Judy Gallogly

Creagan's in New York

I am searching for information about grandfather, Thomas Creagan's brothers and sisters. Thomas was born in Country Clare, and the Clare Heritage Centre in Corofin has provided my with the following information.
Thomas was born in Parich of Kilmurry McMahon/Labasheeda, County Clare. His parents were Patrick Creagan (Crehan) and his mother was Anna Madigan, married in 1857, and the following list are his brothers and sisters: Anne - 1860; Michael - 1862; Mary - 1863; Ellen - 1864; John - 1867; Patrick - 1870; Bridget - 1871; Mary - 1872; Mary - 1877.
We know that John lived in or around Birminham, New York in the late 1940's. We haven't found out anything else, however. Nor have we been able to find any of the other brothers or sisters.
Thomas was born in or around 1878, and died in Rochester, New York in 1937. We believe Thomas and the family moved to the USA around 1886.
