I visited Saint Nicholas Church of Ireland Cemetery in Coole today.

Kiltaglassan,

As per my previous reply to one of your posts, I note that you have a habit of posting links to easily accessible information, for reasons I don't understand.

trevalyn,

I am delighted to hear of your success. I will sort out getting the photos to you (I'm a bit slow with digital stuff). The RCB Library is an excellent resource. Will the CWGC provide a memorial for Nathaniel.

Hello trevalyn,

Firstly may I commend you on your quest, it is a very worthy cause.

I noticed that Nathaniel's parents' marriage, his baptism, his and his mother's deaths were all registered in Coole. I would be inclined to start a search there.

I know that there is a Church of Ireland church in Coole, but I don't think that it is still operating as a church. There is a cemetery beside it.

I would be happy to wander around the cemetery (if I'm allowed) the next time I am in that area (which probably won't be for a month or two), and see if there are any Crawford grave markers. I doubt there is, but sometimes you can be surprised.

If the church in Coole is closed it might be worth contacting the Church of Ireland head office to see if they have any Coole records. Contacting the Church of Ireland in Castlepollard is another option (a lovely church, worth a visit). A quick internet search will give you contact details for both the above.

Regards,

Feichin


P.S. Interesting witnesses on Nathaniel's parents marriage record.

Hello Kelger123,

I don't know if your last post was meant to be a reply to mine.

Anyway here is my thoughts on the information as given. I think that the reference to Delvin was made by someone who is confusing the civil and church records. With regards to Pakenham Hall (Tullynally Castle), it just depends on what gate you come out of whether you are nearer Castlepollard or Coole.

I noticed a post regarding Halpin in Ozaukee, County Wisconsin.  I am a descendent of Thomas and Caterine Carny(Kearny) and Patrick Halpin.  I have been to Cedarburg, WI and maybe can be of assistance.  Does anyone know when Thomas Halpin emmigrated to the USA.

Thanks

Hello JCoash,

I believe Thomas emigrated to the USA in 1842 / 1843, though I never came across any absolute proof of this.
