I have cross-referenced all the baptisms, marriages, burials and confirmations of Creggan Parish that relate to my family tree and that are available to me from a range of sources. My primary source was PRONI MIC 1-11. Some names are included only because they also reside in a significant townland - for example, Urker. Many of my notes are not much more than conjecture. Please take them with a grain of salt. In total, there are about 56 pages of transcriptions and notes, and several hundred names are mentioned.

Creggan |
Jones, Anne |
Agbold, Co. Wicklow |
1807 |
Banns of Marriage between John JACKSON of the Parish and
Anne JONES of the Parish of Agbold, in the County of Wicklow.
NOTE: I cannot find a parish of Agbold, Co. Wicklow, but there is a Parish Aghowle, Barony Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow. In tithes of 1825, a James JACKSON has a holding in Aghowle at Coolkenna and James and Thomas JACKSON have holdings in Aghowle at Barnacashel.
2 Aug 1807 by me Joseph JENKINS, curate
9 Aug 1807 by me R. JOHNSON, rector
12 Aug 1807 by me Joseph JENKINS, curate.
NOTE: The name R. JOHNSON
is not included in the names of rectors on the scroll in Creggan Church. He
was likely Richard JOHNSTON. See Burke’s The General Armory of England,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales:
JOHNSTON (cos Armagh and
Dublin, and the City of Dublin; confirmed to Rev Richard JOHNSTON, M.A.
Rector of Kilmore, Diocese of Armagh, descended from William JOHNSTON who
served at the siege of Londonderry, 1689, and to the other descendants of the
said WILLIAM JOHNSTON). Ar a saltire sa. as betw. in chief a trefoil slipped
vert, and in base a heart ensigned with an imperial crown ppr on a chief gu.
Three cushions or. Crest: An arm in armour embowed, the hand grasping a sword
all ppr. charged on the elbow with a spur-rowel gu. Nunquam non partus.This would mean he had Scots roots. |

In the presence of William JOHNSTON of Clough, Wexford
& John JONES, Union of Ferns, Wexford.
NOTE: There is a townland of Clologe, Parish Toome, Barony Scarawalsh in Co. Wexford.
NOTE: It is possible that this
John JACKSON was a grandson of George JACKSON & Margaret O’LAUGHLIN. Or
there may be some other relationship with the other JACKSONs of the region.
NOTE: The same record is also recorded in the Glenealy
Church of Ireland, Co. Wicklow. Images of Glenealy Church. The Parish of Glenealy is in the Barony of Arklow and Newcastle. |

Stephens, Thomas |

Gilmer, Martha |
Creggan |
1815, Mar 24 |
NOTE: A Thomas Stephens
married Barbara JACKSON (daughter of David JACKSON & Margaret BRADFORD).
She died young leaving three children – the youngest born in 1813. It is
possible that this is a second marriage – if he is the same man. I do not
know yet where Martha GILMORE fits in. There is a burial for a Martha
STEPHENS of Cloghog in 1856, when she was 72 years old (hence b. 1784). |

NOTE: The dates for Sarah

This entry is here because of the townland reference. She
was the daughter of John & Eleanor McNICKLE and would have been 20 years
old at the time of her marriage (based on baptismal and confirmation records) |
