I have found the marriage certificate of John & Mary Cryan married at St Kiltoghert Catholic Church Leitrim Ireland on the 4th July 1857.
No parents or dates of birth are noted.

I have found all the details of their children Maria (1858) Bridget (1860) Patrick (1864) James (1866) Margaret (1868) John (1870) Margaret (1872) & Michael (1874)

But I cannot find the birth & death records of John & Mary Cryan themselves.

I think I have found them on the 1901 & 1911 Leitrim Census but I cannot find anything further about them.

Also on the 1901 & 1911 census living with them was their grandson John Cryan born to James & Ellen Cryan (nee Connor) 21st May 1898.
I cannot find any further information on John Cryan Jnr.
If anyone has any information they would share or any help they could give me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Telly

Unless someone has these people in a GR tree.................you will need to access Irish BMD records. Google for link

You won't find births for the couple who married in 1857...............much too early for civil info

Look for baptisms................at

https://familysearch.org/

...where you may also find death registrations.

They were both born Roscommon according to the census, so a possible for John?

Further to my last posting, I have found a death for a John Cryan, Parish: Jamestown Civil Registration Co. Leitrim, Ireland on the 2nd April 1916 the informant was his wife Mary.
Their grandson John Cryan I have found married Alicia Purcell 1923 in Dublin. migrated to Australia in 1957 & ended their days in Qld Australia.
I still have not been able to find a death certificate for Mary Cryan which would be after 2/4/1916 there is no records of her death in Leitrim.
Thank you to those who have tried to help me solve this problem I don't think I will ever be able to find John & Mary's births.
