Hi



Could there be a possibility that some of the family may have been born in Devon – I have noted a small amount of information on a message board that suggests that the family you are looking for may be the children of a James Francis Croke and Henrietta Fletcher.



The Irish connection is James Francis Croke who was born, according to these sources, on 26 July 1881 in Tipperary but through “Naval connections” spent time in Devon.



Done just a little follow up and have found the following:-

hi there, just read your post and its all sounds very familar my grandad was Sydney Croke he married Marie Vincent they lived in Adelaide Terrace South Circular Road Dublin 8 and worked in Player Wills on SCR and is now deceased Marie is still living they had 4 children (1 - Deceased) Vincent , Phylis and Patricia. iam Vincents daughter i will contact my brother as he has done a load of work tracing the ancestors and get back to you with any more info.

Hi there, came across your quote and discovered that my wife's mother Winifred (Winnie) is Sydney's sister. Can you give me any other info on the family as I am researching the Croke's, Fletcher's, O'Leary's, and Brady's.

Thanks,
