- Four records have been found which give Honorah’s maiden name, being the baptism records of four of her children. All four give a different variation of the name:
- MacCrewen on John’s baptism in 1852 at Richmond;
- Curyan on Margaret’s baptism in 1856 at Woolwich;
- M’Craine on Julia’s baptism in 1859 at Woolwich; and
- Mulcreen on Catherine’s baptism in 1864 at London.
These are clearly all attempts to phonetically transcribe an Irish name that was unfamiliar to the people writing the records. The surname McCrohan is considered the most likely actual surname which was intended, being a name from County Kerry, which is where Honorah said she was from in the 1911 census.
No marriage record has been found for Patrick and Honorah in Ireland or Britain. Family tradition maintains that they were from the Cahersiveen area of County Kerry. Had they married there prior to moving to the London area then no record would have been kept, as the only surviving parish registers at Cahersiveen prior to the start of civil registration in 1864 are for baptisms.
