It's actually Ballyvoloon townland, in the electoral district of Queenstown - now called Cobh.

Mary Anne and the children are all born in Co. Cork so that looks like the best place to search for a marriage.

This looks like a good match from the BMD Index :

 Name: Robert James Cregan
 Registration District: Cork
 Event Type: Marriage
 Quarter and Year: Jan - Mar 1901
 volume Number: 5 / page : 137

here's a link for reference : Cregan Family 1911 census

Thank you so much Shane appreciate it I will be able to move forward now.  His Brother Daniel was Superintendant of Antrim Coast Guard.  Seems they were all Naval Men.

I have seen it earlier today seaweed and printed it off.  I will  send for the Service records of Robert and his two Brothers on of which was Superintendant of Glenarm Coast Guard Station.

The other Daniel was the Longest Serving Member of The Merchant Navy and was awarded The British Empire Medal at Buckingham Palace.  All born in Co Down Ballymacarret.

Found some MN records For Daniel Cregan born 05/March/1870.
I don't know if this is your man. If not, have you a DOB?

Groni if N. Ireland. You could also check out the War Graves if he died during the war.  Post his details and I am sure some Forum Members will help you in your search.



They are a really kind Bunch on this site  :)
