My grandfather, Patrick Cunningham, was born Patrick Crinigan in 1877 in Clooncan.  His father's name was Luke and his mother was Honoria Morley.  That's as far as I have gotten.  There were other Crinigan's in Clooncan but I can't connect them to my family.  Any help and information would be greatly appreciated.

    I checked the 1901 and 1911 censuses and I believe I found your family. See links below. I also went to www.familysearch.org and found a death index for Luke. he died in 1890. If you want a copy of this record, you need to write to the GRO www.groireland.ie  fill out their form provide the quarter/year of death, registration district (Castlereagh) and the volume and page number ( 4 and 90) Costs around 4 euros. I also located a baptismal index record for a Richard Crinegan who was born in 1879. His parents were Luke and Honor Morley Crinegan. This year of birth matches the 20 year old Richard shown on the 1901 census record. (See last record belwo).
