CREIGHTON Family History
This is an interesting surname recorded in the spellings of Crichton, Crichten, Crighton, Cryton, and Creighton, is of Scottish and English origin. It is with all spellings locational, either from a place so called near Uttoxeter in Staffordshire, or from the barony of Crichton near Edinburgh, in Scotland. The derivation of Creighton (in Staffordshire) is from the Olde Welsh pre 7th Century "creic", a rock, and "tun", a farm or settlement, thus a place built on a ridge, and it was first recorded in the Red Book of the Exchequor of 1166 as "Crectone", and in the Assize Rolls of 1222 it appears as "Creiton"...Select Audience

Anneliese
Hi Creightons! Anneliese here from Seattle, WA. My great grandmother was Mary Margaret Creighton from Sligo. Though she raised her family in Ballina (after marrying John Murray, a merchant), she was born in Sligo Town, on Chapel Street. Her parents were Matthew Creighton (son of John, I think) and Mary Davey. Matthew Creighton owned a coachbuilding business down on the riverfront and worked there until his death around 1903. Curious to know if this family line is related to the Creightons from Roscommon. It's a relatively unusual name in these parts -- with the name "Matthew Creighton" appearing in both counties. Thank you

I am trying to confirm the family connections and Ireland origins for James Creighton, who was born in Ireland, immigrated to the US in 1848-1850, and lived in Philadelphia until his death on March 29, 1897. He is my great great grandfather through his son Richard. Does anyone have information that would help with this?

An unsubstantiated story was that her father was Mayor of Brentford.
Hoping someone can help me.
