Michael F Crowe

[Cro]

Michael F Crowe was my father's uncle. My father's father was Michael's brother, Thomas.  My father lives in Limerick City, as do 3 of his 4 children.
My father never met Michael but is aware of his famous career as a GAA referee.  He also said that Michael moved from Limerick to Dublin and worked there as an accountant with a railway company.  He does not know anything about Michael's children (or granchilldren?).  Can anybody help?

I can't believe how quickly that reply came in! Thanks a million.  I read the earlier posts in this thread with great interest and saw that Thomas (son of Michael F) was recorded in the 1911 census.  I wasn't sure if there were any other children born after 1911.  Last year Pat O Dea, Kilteely showed my father and some of his Canadian relations (a son and grandson of John Crowe, another of MF's brothers) where 3 generations of the Crowe clan were buried.  Pat also suggested that the O'Dea's of Kilteely may be related to the Crowes.

A further note re Michael F Crowe
The deeds to Croke Park were conveyed to Trustees of the GAA on December 18, 1913. Limerickman Frank Dineen held the deeds up to this point. The trustees were: Dan Fraher of Dungarvan; Michael F. Crowe of Dublin (originally Limerick); Luke J. O’Toole of Dublin; Alderman James J. Nowlan of Kilkenny; Tom Kenny of Craughwell; John J. Hogan of Dublin; Patrick Whelan of Newbliss; John E. Malone of Ennis; and John Collins of London. (As far as I know it was Michael F Crowe who actually accepted the deeds as he was the accountant/auditor in the group--I'm sure I read that somewhere...)
There are some details about Michael F's IRB and GAA connections in the book, 'Harry Boland's Irish Revolution' by David Fitzpatrick, published in 2003.

My grandmother Johanna Crowe was from Co. Limerick, I have her marriage cert to Laurence Cosgrave, which says her father was Thomas Crowe - carman (?) mother Bridget Malooney.  Johanna  had a sis ter Bridget (biddy) and the marriage cert states living in Blackboy Pike Limerick.  I know there was another sister Mary, who emigrated to USA Married to a Cronin.  I know there was a hushed tale of a brother being involved with then IRB is this the same family?
