Another Day Searching For Caleb Cragun In Ireland

The bad news is at the bottom. In Ancestry.com there is a tree http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/195701/person/-2111813003?ssrc= that shows Patricks birth in Abt 1700in Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, England near the home of OLIVER CROMWELL.. I have heard this before.

It also shows Spouse & Children
Hannah as Spouse 1726 –



One of the better websites for free Irish church records is http://www.irishgenealogy.ie

Aside from the info below there wasn't a record of Patrick or Caleb under any spelling. There were enough not Patrick or Caleb to make it interesting, see comments below.  I followed every trail I could to no success.

These are Catholic Churches in Dublin. If Patrick came to Ireland as part of the plantation movement, it seems he would be Protestant.  Although legends say he was born in Dublin, that in fact may not be correct.

I am using the websites listed in the right sidebar of http://larrycragunfamily.blogspot.com/
I am searching the names that the website http;//www.IrishTimes.com/ancestor lists as most common: cregan, creaghan,creegon, creegan, creighane, creagin, cregin, creigan, Mac Creigain, Creagon, Creagone, Creegon, Creighan, Creggan.
I will be focused on Limerick, Galway, Monoghan, and Dublin as these are the areas with the most families with these names.

Nothing found in the site: http://digital.ucd.ie/ or The National Library of Ireland

http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/ = FOUND a baptism of a Patrick Joseph Creagan June   21, 1852: Father George Creagan, MOther Rose Murray: June 21, 1852: Spsonser Maurice Crehan in DublinParish Church: St Nicholas

There were many Creaghan, Cregan, and some Creagan in the mid 1700's found on the Irish Genealogy Site - In Dublin.

The Churches were St Nicolas, St Andrew, St Audoen, St Catherine, St Michan, and St Mary Pro Cathedral

I was able to do a  thorough name search of all names, only coming up with these mentioned.

I did find 1 Patt Cregan of Ormond Key who was baptized 9 July 1738. His father was James and mother Mary Duffe.

Searched FindMYPast.com for Caleb with name variants to no success.

Also Searched FamilySearch.org for:
Caleb *cra and *cre in London 1700 - 1799 with no results.
