Hi Mary -
While I was searching for my Grandfather and family in the Ballyduff area I found several Diggin families that I collected, but was never able to tie them into my Diggin family. I found some information on a Diggin family in Kerry, Ardagh, Townland of Claghane or Cloghane. The Registration District for this area is Ballyduff. The family consisted of:
Michael - b 1865 - wife - Mary b. 1863 Son Willie b 1892 John b 1897 Thomas b 1899 Denis b 1901 Michael b 1903 Margaret b 1904 Patrick b 1905 Edward b 1909.
Census records list 13 children born -- 8 alive in 1911.
I don't know if this is part of your family, but if it is I probably have a little more info on them that I could send you.

Diggins-Dalton-Barrett

arjay611 — 2009-01-03 15:00:58Z

My mother's father was Maurice Diggin of Kerry, Killury, Townland of Feeans. We had Diggins family in the surrounding townlands of Ballynaskreena, Ardagh, Drominacarra, Feeans,etc.
I have a list of the Diggin births, that were registered in the town of Ballyduff in Killury-1864 - 79, with both parents names. I noticed the birth of Thomas Diggin on May 15, 1864. The parents are listed as Thomas and Mary (Dalton) Diggin.

I also have an early Census on John and Ellen Barrett Diggin. John is residing at Number 6 Ballynaskreena. This is a short distance from Ballyduff, Killury. I believe he is the son of Thomas and Mary (Dalton) Diggin. Children still at home with John and Ellen are listed as Michael, Maurice, James, and Maria. They state a Total of 9 children with 7 living. I believe this family immigrated to the West coast of the U.S.from Kerry.

I would like to hear from anyone from the Thomas and Mary (Dalton) Diggin family line, or other Diggin, Barrett, etc. lines from the area.

I know this is years after your first posting, I hope you get this. I saw another search site by a billy. It was a little confusing because it had the marriage wrong.

Violet Bloom Brouse was married to Martin Diggins. Violet remarried after Martin died.
Violet and Martin had 7 children
Elmo
Bertha - My mother
Helen
Edna
Betty
Jack
Kirby

I hope this clarifies things. My mother, Bertha Mae Diggins married Robert Rohn During WWII she was sent here to Allentown, pa to help her aunt Edna Hinman, Violet's sister.
My mother was dating my father and WWII broke out they got married before he was sent to the war. My mother died in 1998 my father is still alive. He will be 90 this year.

Re: PA- Diggins

RDurso152 — 2008-06-18 18:50:05Z

I met my Uncle Elmo and Aunt Becky in Altoona at my grandmother's house, Violet Bloom-brouse. When I was a child. We used to have family reunions there and The family would pick wild strawberries and make Jam for a week. There were lots of kids, my cousins and it was a blast. If you want to know more just email me:

RDurso152 — 2008-06-18 18:34:49Z

Elmo was my mother's brother. Her name was Bertha Mae Diggins, Elmo's father was Martin Diggins he died when I was 1 - in 1953. Obviously I never met him. His mother was Violet Bloom, my grandmother. The only living sister to Elmo is Edna Flanagan. Other sisters and brother's were Jack Diggins lived in Johnstown have several children, Helen lived near Cleveland and so did Edna. Betty lived in Altoona. Kirby Diggins I don't know where he lived. He died when I was a teen ager.

Your dates for birth and death are correct for Michael Diggins. Also his wife Evelyn Cronigan. He was not born in Ireland. He was born in Illinois. The family lived in Omaha, Nebraska.

They farmed in Causeway, County Kerry, Ire. I have more information on this family. E-mail me if interested.

I'm trying to find out more information of a Cora Diggins. She was born about 1876 in Iowa. Her parents were Benjamin Diggins and Elizabeth Hamrick. According to an obituary I've found, her name is mentioned as Mrs. Cora Miller. I have no idea who her husband was or if any children were born. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Benjamin & Elizabeth Diggins

I'm trying to find any old photographs of Benjamin Diggins and his wife Elizabeth. He was born about 1835 and she was born about 1839. Does anyone know of any good places to start with? Thanks for the help.

Re: Charles & Hannah Diggins

I'm not sure where they were born.

Benjamin Diggins born abt 1836

PackFan_1999 — 2006-03-30 18:59:13Z

I'm trying to verify that Benjamin is indeed the man who is married to an Elizabeth Diggins in the 1870 census. Does anyone know anything more about this person? Thanks.
