Cramer(Creamer)&O'Rourke(Rourke)Families

I need to find townlands and parishes in Leitrim County for both names. My grandfather, James Henry Creamer was born in Rhode Island (1888) but his parents, (Patrick & Anna Maria nee:Grant) Creamer were born somewhere in Leitrim County. Same for the O'Rourkes. James' wife, Annie May (nee; O'Rourke or Rourke) Creamer was born in Rhode Island (1887). Her father, Patrick Rourke (O'Rourke) was also born in Rhode Island (1859) but her mother Mary Ann (Taylor) O'Rourke was born in England (1861?). I have all info. from Providence, Rhode Island about their lives but I can't find anything about immigration, birth dates, etc. from Leitrim Co.(Creamer-Cramer) & (Grants) & (O'Rourke-Rourke). All I know is that they all came from Leitrim County. (Except Taylors from England). I know this is confusing, but whos genealogy isn't? What I'm trying to say is: Patrick Creamer (Cramer) who's parents were Michael & Ann Cramer. (Don't know Ann's maiden name!) were all born in Leitrim Co., Ireland around 1830's? Also, Patrick's wife, Anna Maria Grant Creamer (Cramer) and her parents, Patrick & Bridget (nee:Mauran) Grant born in Leitrim Co. around 1830's or 40's. Patrick O'Rourke's parents, Terence & Ann (nee;?? ) Rourke born Leitrim Co. around 1830's-40's. Cloone Parish could be in the ball park but it's only a guess. They were all Roman Catholic If anyone has a clue to this mess, please help!!!Orne?, I really don't know, just guessing) Rourke were both born in Leitrim Co.

My GGGGrandmother was Bridget McTiernan nee Rork. Her mothers name was Creamer. One of her sons was married in Drumkeeran. Haven't been able to establish for sure if that was where family were from. They came to Scotland c.1847.

Any other info on these O'Rourke's have you obtained the Scottish/marriage certs these show the parents names, mothers maiden name. Speculate there could be a connection. Cheers ann
