Hi John,

I know it's been a while since your post but I 've only just seen it.

My mother's Grandmother was Mary Farrell.Her parents were Patrick Farrell and Mary Croke married in Shandrum in 1869.All their children were born there.My mother was always told that Mary Croke was a grandniece of Archbishop Croke.I've only just started researching this family and I've see there is a lot of interest in connecting to the Famous Archbishop.I know that there were five of the family joined the clergy Thomas,James,Isabella and two other sisters(names unknown).His uncle Thomas was parish priest in Charleville for over 40 years which is where my mother's family are still.I believe Mary Croke's father was William but not sure.As you can a lot of names and dates are still to be found so if you have any connection with this I'd appreciate any info you might have...Ray

Hi John,

I saw your info on Ancestry, which was dated 2001. My wife Lucy is the daughter of Winifred Croke, whose father was James Francis Croke. Her mother was Henrietta Fletcher. If you are the grandson of Harold Croke, do you have any info on your g-father's family? Here is what I have found out so far:

James Francis Croke, b: 26 Jul 1881 in Tipperary; wift was Henrietta Fletcher, b: 21 Jul 1882 in Huffersfield, England.
Children were:

Winifred Emily Croke b: 30 Jul 1904 in Plymouth, England
Maurice Croke (Lived in Luton)
Patrick Croke
Sidney Croke
Harold Croke
Burt Croke
Nora Croke (Married Wally Butler)

Hope your Harold is the same as mine. If so, let me know.
It is really hard to do research of England/Ireland when you live in the USA.

Thanks,

Pat Henry (York, Pa, USA)

John Croke, Husband of Sarah Estell Nugent - Newfoundland

LeslieJRobertson — 2009-01-17 02:19:08Z

John and Sarah were my grandparents. While I have been very successful with the Nugent line, the Croke line is very difficult.

A few tree's have my grandmother listed as "Sadie", which was her nickname. I would love love to chat with anybody that has info on my Croke/Newfoundland family.

I would be glad to provide you with my gedcom if it will help.

Croke in WI

tgholt — 2007-07-11 17:31:48Z

I am stuck and looking for help. My grandmother was Alice Croke married to Edmund Holton. Her siblings were George, Ruth (died in 1929), Rowena and Thomas. Her parents were Stella (no idea of maiden name) and Dennis who at least for a time was a policeman in Milwaukee. Stella and Dennis are buried at St. Mary's Cemetary, W. Acretown Ave. Hales Corner. Also buried in the cemetary is Ruth. She is buried at a plot with William and Delia and Francis (daughter of William and Delia. I am thinking William and Dennis were brothers, for a number of years they lived in the same house but I have no factual evidence. They disappear at 1900.

I am currently researching the Croke family, my grandmother lived with grandaunts called Croke who were related to Archbishop Croke. I have acquired information relating to the Croke family. This information is specific to any Croke family members whose ancestors originated in Co.Cork. Donna McAuliffe has an ancestor called James Croke who also appears in my research.

Re: croke

Archbishop Thomas William Croke, born Castlecor, Co. Cork, Ireland was Bishop of Auckland, New Zealand 1870-1876, and Archbishop of Cashel, Ireland, 1876-1902. He was the patron of the Gaelic Athletic Association and Croke Park, Dublin was named for him. The only collateral descendents are apparently the offspring of his younger brother David, of Victoria, Australia (Archbishop Croke's uncle James Croke was Solicitor-General of Victoria). There is much more detail in a biography of Archbishop Croke, "Croke of Cashel: The life of Archbishop Thomas William Croke, 1823-1902", by Mark Tierney, published by Gill & Macmillan, Dublin, 1976.

He was a distant cousin of my Mother. She was born in Jersey City, N.J. in 1903. Her Father was John Croke and her Mother was Anne Hylens. I wonder if your Crokes could be related to us in any way.

Edward 1876
Eleanor 1879 - d. Feb 1889

Notes : As per 1880 Census. Thomas Croke and Anne Cardell had seven (7) children. I think Ann died giving birth to Eleanor because Anne is not listed in the 1880 census. Anne was buried when she was only 32 yrs in the Old Cathedral Cemetery aka Cathedral. Baby Eleanor was probably born that month as well. Anne was probaby born in 1847 in Ireland. She was interend on February 22, 1879.

The CROKE’s on 11th Street in Philadelphia at the time of the 1880 census. Thomas Croke was 68 yrs old when he died on June 6, 1902 he was intered on June 10, 1902. At the time of the census he was working in a clothing house as per the census. He said he was born in Ireland and that his parents were also born in Ireland.

Thomas Croke died on June 6, 1902. He was living at 3162 Weikel Street in the 25th Ward when he died. He was working as a Tailor at the time of his death.

Johanna- 1865 - I have no new info.
Maggie- 1867 or 68 - N/A

**Mary b. 1870 d. Feb 11, 1920. She married Frederick Meyers and had several children. Her daughter Lena is my decendant who married Charles James.

James -- b. 1874 - N/A
Edward—b. 1876 - N/A
Eleanor—b. 1879 - d. Feb. 1889

If you are a decendant doing research or this helps you, please let me know. I would like to exchange information or let you know when I find something new. Good Luck!

Archbishop Croke

2001-02-12 13:02:08Z

This has to be a different Archbishop Croke because I have a book about Archbishop Croke's life and I also looked him up in the Catholice encyclopedia and he is considered a Doctor of the Roman Catholic church and my Mother who is deceased now also knew about. I have never seen anywhere that he was married or excommunicated.

archbishop Croke

2001-02-12 12:34:17Z

My uncle Sydney researched the family tree for most of his life.Archbishop Croke was indeed Roman Catholic but apparently fell in love with a prodicent {pardon the spelling }
and was excommunicated.We have his picture in the family album.I am only going on what the elders in the family have told me. There is also something about Croke Park being leased to the Irish Government on a hundred year lease? i do hope this is of help.

Croke in Newfoundland/Springfield MA

Robgal74 — 2003-12-22 03:16:48Z

Looking for Crokes in the Newfoundland and Springfield MA locations. Alphonse Croke was married to ? Miller. Alphonse was supposedly born in Newfoundland. He later moved to Springfield MA in the early 1900s. He had three boys William, Forney and Edward who was born in 1908.

RE: Croke

nessie548 — 2003-12-11 21:10:13Z

My name is Vanessa Croke, my great great grandfather was called Thomas Francis Croke he was born in Manchester in the early 1860's and married Eliza Jane Parish in 1891 in Plymouth. Thomas Francis Croke's father was called
Patrick Croke but unfortunately, i do not have any information on him.

If anyone has any information or can help regarding these people i would be extremely grateful.

Mary Ann Croke

carolyncroke — 2004-06-15 21:26:43Z

This appears to be a connection. Mary Ann Croke was my great aunt. She married a John Toohey in 1888 in London Ontario. My grandfather was her youngest brother, Maurice, born in 1853. He was born in London Ontario. And a year later his father, John Croke was killed in an accident here in London, Ontario. There appears to be several other children I simply cannot account for and they may have been born in the US. They are listed in the 1851 Canada Census. Its been a long time since I checked the message board.

Crok-Moylan Connection

carolyncroke — 2004-06-15 21:26:43Z

I think this is a fit but I have quite a bit of information that you might be interested in. Please contact me.

John Croke

carolyncroke — 2004-06-15 21:26:43Z

The John Croke that was my great-grandfather died in 1854 in an accident in London Ontario. He is supposed to have fallen off a roof he was working on. I can account for only three of his offspring, none of whom were named Marie. (There was a daughter Mary Ann who married a John Toohey but had no issue.) There may have been more children because I can find listed in the 1851 census a John Croke with wife Johanna and several children who were born in Ireland, Quebec and USA. My grandfather, Maurice, was born in 1853 in London Ontario and was the youngest, obviously. The oldest child was Michael, born in Ireland and may have fought in the US Civil War. He does not appear in the 1871 census.
If any of this fits, let me know. I have been on holiday and am jusst now trying to get back into genealolgy.

John and Johanna Croke

carolyncroke — 2004-06-15 21:26:43Z

Sorry I confused you. John and Johanna Croke were my great grandparents. They were both born in Ireland sometime in the early 1800's and they ended their days in London Ontario. Both are buried here. They had either three or six or seven children. I can only account for three - my grandfather, Maurice (born 1853)the youngest of the family who lived and died in London, Ont. and Mary Ann, my great aunt who was born in Quebec but died here in London, and there was a Michael. But I also found in the 1851 census William born sometime in the 1840"s and died in London 1860, Edward born about 1849, and Eliza born about 1850. At least 2 of the last three were born in the USA - can't remember which. Those three along with Michael disappeared off my radar screen, although the family story about Michael was that he fought in the US Civil War. He was born in 1841 in Ireland.
Hope this clarifies my former message. (As you can guess there are still Crokes in London, Ontario.) Since I have been away from the genealogy for awhile my memory is not fresh. I would love to her if there is a connection.

John and Johanna Croke

carolyncroke — 2004-06-15 21:26:43Z

Further to my earlier message of today 09/06/01- I checked the 1851 census and at that date William born in the U.S. was 3, Edward born in the U.S. was 2 and Elisha (not Eliza) born in Ontario was 1. My grandfather, Maurice, was born in 1853 and his father, John, was killed in August of 1854. I am making a guess now that William, Edward, and Elisha were sent to relatives or adopted by someone or whatever. Because Johanna would have been very poor. She at one point listed her occupation as that of a laundress. However, it appears that William did die in London in 1860. Let me know if any of this fits with your information.
