Hi jd My great grandmother Ann Creavin was born around 1858, She married my great grandfather Wiiliam Greene February 8, 1875 at Taughmaconnell parish church. The registrar's office gave her father's name as Martin Creavin a farmer at Coolfree, it doesn't mention her mother's name. I couldn't find a baptism record. She lived after her marriage in Derrylahan in Moore parish untill she died in 1933. I have a picture of her in very old age. She was buried in old Moore cemetery with my grandfather who died in 1917. Thanks for your help. pete greene ----- Original Message ---- From: jd <jacquie@cableusa.com> To: roscommon@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 9:08:24 PM Subject: Re: [ROSCOMMON] Athlone Hi, This is for Pete, What is the age of your Great gr.mother ANN CREAVIN..and her father MARTIN CREAVIN...Maybe I can help??
