Many people with the Crowe surname are found in Cork. From the limited information it would seem that most were transient. Even apparently established families disappear by the Census of 1901. The men often disappeared (abroad?) and many of the women here married soldiers with the many English Army units based in Cork soaking up large numbers of Irishmen. Not just the known Irish regiments but right across all units. The struggle for Independence of Ireland often masks the Irish contribution in all wars, including the Second World War after separation.

County Kerry

A desert of Crowes? The opposite of a lot of Crowes together, called a 'murder'! :)

They seem to congregate around the parish of Beaufort and must be connected in some way to the scenario described in Co. Cork, of the RIC policemen located here, along with my GGfather who was 'Station Master' at the next parish. His brother was also a policeman.
