Merry, the name comes from a history of the McCrohon family in Australia by a researcher from Brisbane. He did the research for an uncle, Jack McCrohon, who had married into his family. Jack gave him a sketchy outline of the family history noting that the first John McCrohon to come to NSW was in the military and had a French wife, supposedly the daughter of an important French official. The researcher then canvased all of the McCrohons in the white pages and received replies from a quarter of those approached with the questionnaire. After this he started checking records. He claims the the substance of story told by his Uncle was true.
The account is very interesting and well written and he says he welcomes any new information or corrections. It is dated 2007. The smart thing to do is contact the researcher. Your question is a spur to getting on with it. There is to be a reunion in April and probably he will be there. Interestingly, our Julie is credited at the beginning as one of the people who helped his research.

Opps! I was wrong. 'History of the McCrohons' came out in 2003.

LOL I thought after I shouldn't have used that term. They remind me of coffins, because they are large oblong plastic containers that have lids that lock down. They take two A4binders across and are on wheels and stack on top of each other. They are a tad heavy if you've got to lift them.
