John Corrigan/ Mary McLaughlan - Late 1800's

correrz — 2012-05-25 02:24:03Z

Looking for any information on this couple, I think they originate from Ireland but I have very limited information.

Their son , John Corrigan, was born in 1905 (location unknown) and died in Paisley, Scotland in 1973.

Cheers!

Patrick Corrigan (B: Tyrone, Ireland D: abt 1831 in Quebec) was married to Grace McNult(?) Had a son named Patrick (B:abt 1785 Mayo Cty, Ireland D:1861 Wisconsin) was married to Rose Ann Folun (?) had John, Patrick, James and Margaret.
It seems this family may have come at separate times. Can not find info on where they came through. I'm thinking Canada. Does anyone have any information abou this family?

Philadelphia Corrigans: Dia dhuit, ( hello or as they said God be with you)
We must be related as Fintona is a very small place. I took my father before he died and we found Corrigans and visited them. Visited a lovely old cemetery out in the country-Donacavey where my mother spied a grave of a Corrigan-may have been James-- from the early 1700's.
My dad's family was the from a Charles who had two wives. Bridget Campbell was the second and Joseph, my grandfather was the last of the brood. They all came to Philadelphia but there may be older children who stayed. (There was no Charles in the line so he may have stayed.) We had Thomas c. 1852, Elizabeth, James, Mary,Sarah, Rose, a glorious redhead I hear and Joseph 1871-1950. They were flax farmers. Thomas was killed by British solders one day as he took flax to market. Came home in a box that they were not permitted to open. Just buried. Sad but you can see why there were hard feelings on bother sides. But time to move on now. Contact me if you want any more information. And James must have been an important name . We have it in each generation since. Jo

Hi
Part ofmy family are Corrigans from Armagh, they too went to Scotland (Ayrshire)...wonder if there is any connection ? I do know they are related to Douglas 'Wrong Way' Corrigan of America. He flew solo from the US to Ireland, The reason they all left Ireland was most likely due to the Potato Famine which hit Armagh particularly hard.Hope this helps

Re: Corrigan DNA Project? is there still one going??

EdmundC — 2012-04-20 19:24:28Z

HI, Julie. I don't know what our relationship is but it is probably somewhat distant. My grandfather was Francis C. Corrigan of New Jersey. His father was Michael J. Corrigan 1851-1888 aand his parents were Patrick and Sarah Corrigan. Michael lived in Dublin from time to time but I don't know if he was born there. Let's keep in touch in case something comes up that will be of mutual assistance. Regards, Edmund Corrigan

Re: Corrigan DNA Project? is there still one going??

EdmundC — 2012-04-20 19:16:39Z

My relationship is probably rather distant as I can trace my line back to Michael James Corrigan in Ireland born in 1851 whose parents were Patrick and Sarah Corrigan. So I guess that our common ancestor would have had to be before that. Do you know where your Corrigans originated? I know that Sir Dominic was from Dublin, and while Michael J. lived in Dublin from time to time I don't know if that is where the family originated. Keep in touch. Regards, Edmund Corrigan

I stumbled across a post that you had made on RootsWeb regarding Corrigans in Clonavaddy.
I just found that is where my Corrigan relatives were from. Before that, I had only known it was Northern Ireland.
My 2nd great grandfather was John Corrigan. He was married to Anne (Hagan) Corrigan. They had the following children:
Bridget, Felix, John J (b. 1867), Hugh, Margaret, Francis Michael, and Nellie. (Many of these children emigrated at some point to Philadelphia, including mother Anne after she was widowed.)
Not sure whether this is a match to any of your Corrigans. I would love to learn more about John and Anne and where they came from.
Thanks,
Brian

Nellie had the following siblings: Bridget, Felix, John J, Hugh, Margaret, and Francis Michael. To my knowledge, Hugh and Margaret were born in Tyrone.
Not sure if there is a connection to your Corrigans or not.

Re. Lawrence Corrigan, from Wexford, Ireland, b. bet. 1783 and 1793 and d. July 1, 1869, buried St. Gabriel’s Catholic Cemetery, Valcartier Quebec. He was the son of John Corrigan, (spouse unknown). A 1851 census data suggest Lawrence was born in 1793 and this makes sense as his brother William was born 1796. Lawrence married Isabella Bonnali April 11, 1824 in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Quebec CA. Bonnali is one of several spellings. She was born in Scotland abt. 1806. They had 12 children, one of which was also named Lawrence b.1850, married Catherine McCartney 26 May, 1875. Six of the nine sons had children and three of the daughters had children. One daughter Marie Corrigan died at age 5 in 1848, no record of Anne and Catherine having children. My gggrandfather was William, brother of Lawrence. William married Margaret Brown b. Scotland 1808, their son Edward was my ggrandfather, marrying Mary Anastasia O’Brien (her family was from Shanagolden, Limerick), their son was my grandfather, Michael Francis Corrigan. William and Mary Anastasia settled in Granville, Wisconsin and then Edward settled in Seattle, Washington. John (x mark) Corrigan and William Bonnali witnessed the marriage of Lawrence and Isabella. Was this John the father of Lawrence and William? If so obviously he also emigrated to Quebec.

Corrigan from New Zealand to Australia abt 1901

amcclymo — 2011-08-28 21:29:08Z

I am researching the background of James Corrigan (birth and death details unknown) who lived in the Hawkes Bay & Wellington provinces of New Zealand, married on a date unknown Louisa or Louise (b abt 1850 (NZ) died 1940 Sydney Australia) - nee McKain, widow of Power and the Corrigan family immigrated from Wellington NZ to Sydney, Australia about 1901.

James & Louisa Corrigan had four children. Details are known of Richard (1886-1918 - K.I.A. WWI), Mary Joan (May)(1887-1970) (married Andrew H McClymont 1911) and Alfred (1889-1922).

No details are known of the fourth child, Alice Corrigan.

Any genealogical information on James Corrigan and Alice Corrigan would be greatly appreciated.

John Carrigan-Corrigan Alton IL 1930

JeanneSwick84 — 2011-08-15 16:48:56Z

Looking for family of:

John Carrigan/Corrigan?
Home in 1930: Alton, Madison, Illinois
Age: 41
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1889

John Carrigan, b. IL, both parents in IRL, is shown on the 1930 US Census as being married to a woman named 'Nona' (or perhaps Nora) who was born est. 1882 in IL to a father b. in ENG and a mother b. KY......The 1930 census indicates Nona/Nora was married for the first time at age 33, which would make the marriage estimated around 1915.

No children appear in 1930; just the three adults.

Living with John and Nona/Nora is a man, probably her father, William Turner (77), b. 1853 in England. He is shown to be the father-in-law to the head of household.

I have some information re. this family, but would like more, esp. about John's wife Nona/Nora and father-in-law William Turner, who lived with them in 1930. It is possible William Turner was from Greene County IL.

Corrigan family - Lincoln, Massachusetts

JaniceOBrien52 — 2011-07-27 16:48:36Z

Looking for relatives and ancestors of Peter Corrigan (b. circa 1835) and Mary Malone (b. circa 1841), both of whom were born in Ireland, immigrated to the U.S., and lived in Lincoln, Mass. Also see my other thread with names John Corrigan, Margaret McDonald, Martin Malone, and Margaret Sarkin, Peter and Mary's parents.

looking for info on John Corrigan & Margaret McDonald and Martin Malone & Margaret Sarkin from Ireland

JaniceOBrien52 — 2011-07-27 16:42:24Z

John and Margaret (McDonald) Corrigan had a son named Peter Corrigan, born circa 1835. Other children's names are unknown. Peter had two sons (Peter and Jack) by his first wife (name unknown) and 10 with his second wife, Mary Malone. Peter came to the U.S. in 1861, married Mary Malone in 1867, and became a naturalized citizen in 1873.

Mary Malone's parents were Martin and Margaret (Sarkin) Malone. She was born circa 1841, and came to the U.S. in 1866. She had a sister named Delia Malone, who was about 16 years younger (born circa 1857) and was living with Mary and Peter in 1880 (per U.S. census) in Weston, Middlesex, Massachusetts. It looks like Delia may have moved later to New York.

Peter and Mary moved shortly thereafter to Lincoln, Massachusetts where they remained. Peter worked at the railroad crossing there.

On his citizenship papers, it says that Peter came from the County of Meath, Ireland, but the memoirs of a relative born in 1917 said that Peter Corrigan was from Wexford, Ireland, Leinstar County, and Mary Malone was from Athenry, Ireland, Galway County.

I am looking for info on Peter's siblings and first wife's name, and on his and Mary's ancestry in Ireland.

Re: John J Corrigan

badams5971 — 2011-06-22 01:05:57Z

Still not sure if we are talking about the same Corrigans. I did find that John J. had a brother Felix Corrigan (age 61 in 1930) and widowed sister Bridget Corrigan Campbell (age 73) in 1930. At the time Felix and Bridget were living in Jenkintown, PA with John J. Both Bridget and Felix were from Northern Ireland.

Re: John J Corrigan

badams5971 — 2011-06-21 22:46:45Z

I do not know if there were siblings. Chances are, there probably were. John was the son of John and Anna Corrigan. The only info I have about them is that John was born in County Cork and died 2 Sept 1840. Wish I had more info.

Re: John J Corrigan

KimAttwood124 — 2011-06-21 17:52:08Z

Hi do you have a Peter Corrigan at all, He was born in the UK and moved to America around the same time as your John,but was listed as Irish on the records as He had an Irish accent and name. He had a brother John, who disapears from UK records around the same time and I cannot locate.
Any info would be good. They were the sons of Bridget McTigh and Patrick Corrigan who were born in Ireland and came to UK during the famine.

Re: John J Corrigan

badams5971 — 2011-06-21 15:27:38Z

I don't think so. Unless when they came over, they spread apart. The Corrigan's I am referring to came to US from Ireland and from what I know, came to the Philadelphia area. They lived in Cheltenham, PA.
Thanks for the message.

Corrigan : Armagh, Ireland - to Scotland - To Australia

kylsbaby1 — 2011-05-17 06:04:52Z

Hello,
Just a feel out for anyone who may have ties to this branch of Corrigans. I know my John Corrigan was born around 1858 in Armagh, Ireland and he married a Agnes Gilmore McBride (also from Ireland) they then popped their way over to Scotland, where they appear on the 1881 Scottish Census in Kinning Park, Glasgow. Here they had two children - Mary Ann and William. In late 1881 they made their way to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia where they went on to have 5 more children.

I would really like to try and find out more about their lives in Ireland. And why , they would have moved to Scotland.

If anyone can assist it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Re: nathaniel corrigan NSW Australia

lynguerin — 2011-03-27 06:14:19Z

Hi

I am not a member of ancestry.com. I have my tree on My Heritage site. Have you been able to confirm that Nathaniel who was married to Jane nee Montgomery was our relation? His father was Hugh and mother Margaret nee Keenan. I got this information from another web page but I thought our Nat was born about 1803 from the grave inscription. The index of Bounty Immigrants arrving in NSW records a Nathaniel and Jane (nee Montgomery) arriving in Aust 31/08/1841 and Nat was 30yo. This would make him born about 1811 so I am not sure if some of my information that I have recorded on my tree is correct. Also Jane age was recorded as 24 and if she died in 1900 aged 79 she could not have been 24 in 1841. I am confused. I know the information supplied at time of death may not have been accurate but would like to make sure I am following the correct line. Hope you can be of some help.
Thanks

Hi Sue, sorry this has taken so long to reply. Spoke to my Dad (danny corrigan) he could not recall Uncle Jimmy living in London although my mother who passed away in 1999 did if my memory serves me right. Dad was certain his son's name was also Jimmy (James) probably around age 60 now.
they lived in New Cumnock Scotland. Uncle Jimmy came to Australia in the very late 50's, as we arrived in Aust in 1960. Hope this helps and not a false lead for you. Dad also asked if you come from the Uk

Again hope it helps

His 37 marker results match at 36/37 with another member
Kit # 86212 who's paternal line is;
Patrick Corrigan, b abt 1831 (possibly Co Fermanagh) Ireland, marr Margaret Campbell.
James Patrick Corrigan, b 1865 Lindsay Ontario Canada, marr Elizabeth Boyer.
Frank James Corrigan, b Rochester NY.

Both are part of a cluster of Corrigan men who match well with the Maquires, who the Corrigans are said to be of the same stock.
They have been placed in "R1b Mag Uidhir cluster - Group 05" of our Project.
Kit 197737 is upgrading to 67 markers, so we hope that at some stage 86212 will do so also. We may be able to then better estimate the connection between the two families.

You can see all results and submitted lineages on our website at

We are open to all variants of the Corrigan/Carrigan/Currigan/Kerrigan surname.
At the yDNA is passed from father to son he person testing must be a male Corrigan or variant.
