Hi Maureen,

Did you ever find a census record for John and his wife in Scotland, after their marriage? 1861?
Where in Scotland did they get married?

Hello, Thank you to all who contribute to this site, it has been very helpful.

My Dad is 93 yrs. old and he has spent years working on our family tree all without using a computer. My brother and I are now helping but with technology as a tool.

Our first clue is when John Carolan/Caroline was married in Scotland. He listed his father as James Carolan and his mother as Sarah Crossin. We can trace the family with few gaps from his marriage in 1858 to his death in Minnesota in 1915. When he entered a home for the aged he listed that he was born in County Tyrone Ireland and his parents were James Caroline and Sarah Russell.

I have found several James/Jacobus Carolan's and Sarah/Saram Crossans in the Clonleigh-Lifford Tyrone area. I believe the Roman Catholic Diocese included both Donegal and Tyrone. The names also both appear in the Killeter area. I can not find a marriage record for James and Sarah or a birth record for John who we believe was born about 1835.

We have done the ancestry DNA and have also downloaded it in Family Tree. My brother Tim Caroline has our tree on Ancestry.

This would mean the world to my Dad who has a birthday next month and to all of us if we could fill in a few more blanks in John Caroline's life. If anyone has Carolan/Caroline research it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much,
Maureen Espelien
