Title: John Craughwell/Cronghwell/Croaghwill/Crowell bn Dublin
Post by: Krisb on Sunday 17 March 13 02:54 GMT (UK)

Hi All
Looking for a John Craughwell born between 1812 - 1816 in Dublin. Moved to Anglesey, Wales before 1837. Surname spelt all different ways. Hoping to find someone researching this surname in Dublin or point me in the right direction where i can find records to search.
Regards
Kristene

Any idea as to where in Dublin ?
'Dublin' is the name of the city and the county and consists of quite a few separate parishes to search. John's birth is well before the start of civil birth records in 1864, and even before the start of quite a few of the available parish records. If your Craughwell family lived in the city, and were RC or CofI then you could try searching the parish records at www.irishgenealogy.ie

Have you names of John's father or any of his siblings ?
