I am trying to find the names of the parents of Jim Crowley, born
09-10-1902 and died 01-15-1986. Family lore has it that he is my
fathers first cousin.
Jim was born in Chicago, raised in Green Bay WI, and died in Scranton
PA. Jim was one of the famous 4 horseman of Notre Dame football in
the 1930s. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Green Bay, Chicago, Scranton, Obituary Look Up
In the 1920 Federal Census, Jim was living in the household of John
Sweeney, in Green Bay. However, there's nothing in the field for their
relationship, although there are two other Crowley's in the household,
one listed as John Sweeney's sister, and the other listed as his Uncle.
Year: 1920;Census Place: Green Bay Ward 5, Brown, Wisconsin; Roll:
T625_1977; Page: 6A; Enumeration District: 24;
Sweeney, John W., 44, Single, born WI, father born Ireland, mother born
Canada, Chief, Fire District (there's another word, but can't make it out)
Sweeney, Mary A., 76, mother, Wd, born Canada, father born Ireland,
mother born Canada, AL
Crowley, Agnes P., 41, sister, Wd, born WI, father born Ireland, mother
born Canada, manager in a milliner store
Crowley, Morrison, 19, uncle, born IL, father born WI, mother born WI,
salesman, shoe store
Crowley, James, 17, nothing shown for relationship, born IL, father born
WI, mother born WI
In 1910, Agnes was living with her mother, Mary Sweeney, and was a widow
with two sons, Morrison and James. Here's the citation for that census:
Year: 1910; Census Place: Green Bay Ward 2, Brown, Wisconsin; Roll:
T624_1702; Page: 5A; Enumeration District: 12;
In 1900, I found a couple in Chicago, Jeremiah and Agnes Crowley, and
the information for Agnes seems to fit:
Year: 1900; Census Place: Chicago Ward 6, Cook, Illinois; Roll: T623
251; Page: 12A; Enumeration District: 168.
Crowley, Jeremiah, 27, Mar 1873, born WI, parents born Ireland, salesman
Agnes, wife, 24, May 1876, born WI, father born Ireland, mother born
Canada, housewife
They were married for less than a year as of the census date.
I googled Jim Crowley, and found a lot of sites for him, but no obituary
(although I did find a mention from where he was admitted to the
hospital). The GenWeb site for Lackawanna County, PA might have
something about the more modern newspapers there (or someone might be
able to do a newspaper obituary look-up for you):

I emailed you a copy of the obituary but his parents were not named. My
research of the U. S. Censuses suggests he is the son of Jeremiah and Agnes
Sweeney Crowley both born Wisconsin. You can find Jeremiah and Agnes in the
1900 U. S. Census living in Chicago. In 1910 Agnes is a widow and she and
her sons are living with her brother and mother in Green Bay (John Sweeney
and mother Mary Ann).

Re: Green Bay, Chicago, Scranton, Obituary Look Up
Thanks to you both for your efforts.
But it seems that Jim Crowley's parents are not the link to my family.
It must be his wife. Any ideas how to find out her name?
