CRAVEN Mary; SLI,IRL; c.1900 Searching for anyone bearing the family name CRAVEN, or descendants of that line. Family narrative places a mature MARY CRAVEN living in Tubbercurry, Co. Sligo Ireland around 1917. She may have had the maiden name of West. It is believed the family was of English descent. If, indeed, she was a West by birth, she would have had brothers, John and William and sisters Susan, Eliza and Elizabeth. The sisters and brother John all arrived in the USA between 1850 - 1875. The sisters carried the married names of Willans and Ebury, there were other children of that family who remain unnamed, some were unmarried and did not leave Ireland. Does anyone have any information that relates to this connection? Or can anyone give background on the CRAVEN name? Sheila Helser

This district, in turn, apparently took it's name from a word for wild garlic which apparently used to be common there (indeed in my childhood I often smelt wild garlic on the air.)
