According to his death certificate he was born in Leitrim, Ireland. He married Mary Mulvey, also born in Leitrim. However, my ggrandparents were married in Providence, Rhode Island USA. I have not been able to find any information on the Irish roots of my Crofton or Mulvey great grandparents. Yours is the first Crofton surname that I"ve seen with roots in Leitrim. My ggrandparents were both Catholics. From what I can gather from the 1900 R.I. census, my great grandfather was unable to read or write; but my ggrandmother, Mary Mulvey could. I would be interested in knowing more about your Leitrim Croftons. I believe my ggrandfather's parents names were John and Anne, but I don't know Anne's surname. It may have been Duigan, but I can't verify that. I had pretty much stopped searching because I've hit nothing be deadends. If you can shed any light on the Croftons of Leitrim, I'd appreciate i! t.
