Im looking for any creally's that left ireland around 1900-1950

My great grandfather Daniel Creally was born 1895 in portadown ireland, he and his brother william were accused of burning down a constabulary and had to flee to ontario canada. when daniel returned around 1950 to visit he was unable to find anyone but a cousin. it'd be really cool to find out where the rest of them went. Daniels parents were from armagh.

Daniel was the son of Joseph Creally and Rose Rutherford.  They lived in the townland of Gallrock (Gallrock → Annaghmore Electoral Division → Tartaraghan Civil Parish → Oneilland West → Co. Armagh), which is not far from Portadown.  However, it looks like they married in Philadelphia in 1890.

The Civil Records in Ireland list the following children of this couple, all born in Gallrock:

·         Eugene born 13 Aug 1891. Listed Gallrock as his address when he married Mary Cullen in the Loughgall parish church 4 Feb 1915.  There appears to be a will for him in Northern Ireland that I cannot access.  Later ship lists from 1926 for his siblings William and Sarah give his address as Donaghmore, Co. Tyrone.  A marriage record from the 1940s for Mary Rose Creally says her father Eugene lived in the townland of Annaghbeg in Donaghmore.

·         Joseph born 13 Aug 1893, died a bachelor in Gallrock 30 Aug 1918. His death registration says he was 23 years old

·         Annie born 15 Oct 1892.  She arrived in Philadelphia in 1920 intending to work as a domestic.  Had a cousin in Atlantic City.   

·         Daniel born 6 Dec 1895

·         John Creally born 12 April 1897, died a bachelor in Gallrock 31 August 1919

·         Joseph Henry Creally born 25 July 1898, died 17 Aug 1898

·         Sarah Jane born 20 Dec 1900.  Was initially listed to travel to Halifax with William in 1926 but is crossed out with a note saying, ‘did not embark’.

·         William born 11 July 1902.  Listed as a farm worker in 1926 ship list when he landed in Halifax.

Joseph, Rose and 6 children are found in Gallrock in the 1901 census  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000384837/

Rose died in Gallrock 29 July 1906

Joseph and 7 children are found in Gallrock in the 1911 census, surname entered as Crelly http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001620961/

Joseph died in Gallrock 23 April 1921

So, it looks to me that you need to look for Eugene and family in Co. Tyrone and try to track down Annie in Philadelphia or Atlantic City.  Sarah is anybody's guess.
