Joseph Crummey, b. Co Durham, England, around 1864
I am trying to establish the birth details of my great-grandfather whose name is spelt "Crummey" on his marriage certificate of 1886.He was born in Co Durham, England, around 1864/5 and his family were in Glasgow, Scotland by the 1881 Census.
Joseph Crummey'sfather, in turn, has the spelling "Crumbie" on his marriage certificate of 1856.According to UK Census returns he was born in Ireland but no definite area is named.This same certificate lists his father (Joseph's grand father)'s surname as "Crombie".It has been suggested that the family originated from the upper third of Ireland.
If anyone has encountered this branch of the family, or if you are certain I'm in the wrong surname group please let me know.All suggestions welcome.
Many thanks
Ruth
