Surnames: Cronyn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WWC.2ACI/2734.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Carmel, I'm afraid that all I know is that my Cronyn ancestors came from Kilkenny, Ireland, but what town or village I don't know. At one time I understood that anyone in Canada who spelled the name Cronyn with a "y" was related, but since doing research have discovered that that is a myth. Bishop Cronyn was an Anglican, but I have come across census records and other references to Cronyns who were Catholic. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Eve Richardson (Toronton, Canada)
