Re: Andy KERRIGAN Orchestra

meembug — 2009-06-07 03:06:53Z

Hi I have a pic of the Andy Kerrigan Orchestra. My Dad played in the orchestra as the guitarist as well as his brother was the pianist. I remember Andy Kerrigan as a child and our families used to get together. He used to sing "I had a hat when I came in, and I'll have a hat when I go out" Same one?

Re: Andy KERRIGAN Orchestra

2009-06-07 03:06:00Z

sound familar - you bet! Not the Andy Kerrigan Orchestra - but my parents lived in that neighborhood in the early 50's. Unfortunately, my father is deceased but i am contacting my mother to see if she rmembers this. I don't have any Andy's that I know of, but I do have a cousin named Andy whose mother is a Kerrigan (maiden name). I feel certain that there must be a connection,. Write back and let me know what you think.

Andy KERRIGAN Orchestra

Used to perform at The Tara Ballroom, Bronx (462 East 149th Street - free parking!) in the mid '50's. He joined the Marine Corp, sang and his brothers were involved.

Another decendant of Kinlough.

Ring any bells?

Kerrigan Connection

kmarch2 — 2009-04-21 18:18:16Z

Hi,

I am trying to find relatives of John and Catherine (Jennings) Kerrigan from ireland. They had a daughter Bridget who married a James Hunt and they had a daughter Katherine Hunt who lived in Mass. However, she was born in Kidderminster England. There were 2 other siblings Margaret and James who were born in the US. Sound familiar to anyone?

Re: Andrew KERRIGAN and Mary HANRAHAM of Montreal

I have a family member Margaret Rose Kerrigan who married a Carver. I don't know his first name but I'll try and find it! I also have a Catherine Hanrahan in the family plot.
Thomas Handrahan, Pierce John Handrahan, Mary Cuanghan Handrahan. I don't know if they are from the same family or a typo!?

Hi Debbi
I just started looking into my roots and I may be related to you!! I have an Andrew Kerrigan who married an Alice Limoge he died in 1955 and is burried at the cimetiere Notre-Dame-Des-Neiges. Maybe the Andrew Kerrigan is his father! My ggrandmother is Alice Elizabeth Kerrigan Sanders she married Amazi Sanders my ggrandfather. You can go on line and print out a list from the cemetary plot# 00399
If you are from the same Kerrigans (I think you are!) there is alot of info. Here are some of the names
Kerrigan, Sanders, Kerr, Carver, Cummings, Hanrahan, Lambe,
Morgan, Handrahan, Flanagan, Meloncon etc..
Take a look and let me know!?

John Kerrigan and wife Ellen Sheehan Portland Maine

CharlesKerrigan19 — 2009-03-31 23:56:34Z

John born in Ireland about 1840. Ellen Sheehan born Ireland about 1844. Arrived in Portland, Maine with a daughter Hannah b. 1862. John died in 1910, Ellen in 1911 and both buried at Cavalry Cemetary in South Portland, ME. They raised 8 children while attending St. Dominic's church in Portland. Saint Dominic's closed a number of years ago and the my inquiries to Catholic offices for information on the family go unanswered. If anyone has information about John, Ellen or Hannah I would greatly appreciate any leads.

Many thanks Bob
Unfortunately your connections do not much up with mine.
Good luck and try the Mormons site as I am sure I have seen Patrick and Bridget mentioned before during my research.

Hello there Stephen,

I am trying to trace my Kerrigans I found my 2nd great Gran parents marriage in Cliffony Sligo belive this is my GG Grandmothers Parish. Their names were Patrick Kerrigan born circa 1825 and Bridget McGowan Circa 1832 i acnnot find where the lived but I believe Patrick may have come from Letrium or even Bundoran. There son Charles my great grandfather and his younger brother came to Scotland cirac 1880 and settled here all the older members of my imediate family were dead before I started my search into my family. So there was no one to ask where Charles came from only shows on his marriage cert his parents name that is how I found there marriage. Does any of this show up in your own research I know it is a long shot but i feel I have got to try.

Re: KERRIGANs from Roscommon, Ireland

DianeCulhane — 2009-03-09 06:05:29Z

The Griffith's index on failteromhat.com shows Kerrigans in only 6 Roscommon parishes, most near the Shannon, including a Patrick and James in Kilglass. Unfortunately, the RC parish records for Kilglass have not been filmed by the LDS and go back only to 1865 at the Roscommon Heritage Center and the National Library. (James is not in the 1864 civil birth index.)

Re: John KERRIGAN - Hoboken, NJ

2008-08-31 00:07:41Z

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I don't have any records of any of the last names (other than Kerrigan) that you have listed in your listing. My Kerrigan family came to the United States in the 1860's (i think) and they lived in upper Manhattan and the Bronx.

Coincidentally, my father (Edward Kerrigan) was also a Teamster "truck driver"!

If I ever hear of anything pertaining to you, I will be sure to let you know.

Thanks again,
Eileen

Re: John KERRIGAN - Hoboken, NJ

2008-08-31 00:06:58Z

Hi, Eileen,

The information I have on my John Kerrigan came from my grandmother's marriage certificate (dated 1909). It states They were married in Hoboken, NJ. John Kerrigan was a teamster "truck driver" His middle name was Joseph. He was born in Hoboken, NJ about 1860. His parents name's were Patrick Kerrigan and Bridget Colrien. He was living at the foot of first street (I guess in Hoboken,NJ) when he got married. It was his first marriage.

On his first son's (Thomas) baptism certificate date 1910 it has Anna Flynn and William Joyce as sponsors. On his second son's (John Joseph) baptism certificate dated 1913 it has Catherine Jennings as his sponsor. Both boys were born in Hoboken, NJ

I am not certain of his date of death, but I do know it was before 1915.

I found your posting interesting. In going back over my information, I noticed that I have Thomas and Jack (John?) Kerrigan brothers. I only know that Thomas was born in 1859 in New York and I have no information on Jack (John?) Their parents were James Kerrigan and Sarah Walsh. Anything sound familiar?

Thanks,

Thomas KERRIGAN

2004-07-27 07:12:10Z

I am looking for some history on Thomas Kerrigan Family that came over on the Sea Ship from Liverpool on December 8, 1846. The family is decendants of Ireland. Thomas was Married to Bridget and they had 7 children born from 1822-1836 all in Ireland. Ann, Thomas, Margaret, Bridget, Martin, Michael, and Elizabeth. Have had no luck with census except for Martin, he had 6 children born from 1856-1866. They are Mary Jane, Timothy, Margaret, Agnes, Isabelle and James. Mary Jane married John Collins and I think Isabelle married Timothy Shea. I have done Mary Jane's history all the way to today but can find nothing on her siblings? Any help would be appreciated. Martin settled in Palmer, Hampden, Massachusetts.

Justrite48 — 2008-01-28 07:47:27Z

Hi Michael, I just happened to look in the message board or the Kerrigan name and your message was first on the list. Although I am not researching Kerrigans that immigrated to Australia, I am researching my Kerrigan family from Ballyshannon, Co Donegal, who likely emigrated about 1844-46 to Canada first, then they lived in Vermont 1852-56, finally moving to south east corner of Minnesota in Winona Co. Actually my great great grandfather was born in Bundoran, but an article written about him in 1916 says the family came from Ballyshannon... the 2 towns are only a few miles apart.... family tradition says his father was known as Johnny Jack. The 1796 Spinning Wheel Lottery and the Griffth's Valuation if 1833 indicates that there were at least 2 dozen Kerrigans in the 2 parishes. Anne from California (grew up in Wisconsin)

Hi

Photo is from a newspaper article about his band at Cherry Point. Earlier the AK band had played Fri, Sat and Sun nights at the Tara Ballroom NY.

Not good quality in this. I can't help you with "I had a hat...", but recently heard a few lines on TV - Billy Connolly , Edge of The World" in ep 1 he is in Canada and is greeted with the song.

Andy Kerrigan was my dad's cousin. My G'Father was Joe Kerrigan from Gubacreeny. My G'Mother was Lizzie Kerrigan from Boyney. Both Leitrim. Near Kinlough and Bundoran.

Thanks for your photo.

Good Luck

Hi Anne,
Thanks for responding to my message. I don't know that I can help you with your research. I have struck a dead end on researching Michael Kerrigan (b:1862) of Foyagh, Ballintra, Donegal, who married Mary Ann Ward (b:1856) of Cashel, Donegal. They were married at Ballyshannon. As you indicate, there were quite a few Kerrigans in the area. I don't have any information further back than these dates. If you come across anything interesting, please pass it on.

I am looking for information on the descendants, relatives or ancestors of Michael Kerrigan (b:1862) and Mary Ward (b:1856) of Ballyshannon, Donegal, Ireland, who came to Australia in 1884.
Specifically, I would like the originator of a private Family Tree, that shows descendants of Alice Kerrigan and Kathleen Isobel Roebuck (Kerrigan) to contact me to exchange Family Tree information. But also anyone else from this family branch descended from Michael & Mary.
My Wife is a descendant of Daniel Lawrence Kerrigan (b:1899)

My grandfather's sister was Margaret Anne Clancy who was the daughter of William Clancy and Catherine Gallagher of Uragh, rossinver Parish, Rosclogher, Co. Leitrim. Margaret clancy married a Thomas Kerrigan in Leitrim and had 13 children. Maybe we are related.

Re: Thomas KERRIGAN

L_Hardy68 — 2006-12-29 00:53:29Z

Diane,

Thank you for contacting me. My Thomas Kerrigan was born in Hoboken/Jersey City, NJ in 1910. He died in 1933. His parents were John Kerrigan and Ellen (Nellie) Flynn. They also had another son, John Kerrigan Jr., who was born in 1913. He died in 1920. They lived in Hoboken, NJ. I don't know too much about the Kerrigan family. Nellie Flynn was born in 1886, Jersey City, NJ. John Kerrigan was much older than she. I believe he was born in Hoboken, NJ. I also think he died about 1913. I have some documentation that states his father's name was Patrick and his mother's name was Mary or Bridget. Any additional information you or I have could link these two families. Please contact me at L_Hardy68@yahoo.com

Re: Update on previous posting for Hugh Kerrigan.(Bundoran)

stephen_kerrigan — 2009-01-27 16:42:51Z

It has been some time now since I started my family tree and I can now confirm,from information received from the Leitrim Genealogy Centre that Hugh Kerrigan was born in 1843 (the Father of my Grandfather Hugh below)in Leitrim and not Bundoran as previously thought.He was a Farmer.
From the Christening record his parents were Andy and Grace Kerrigan and that's about as much as I know of the latter pair.Don't know whether they were from the Leitrim area but Hugh 1843 was Christened in Kinlough RC Church so I assume that they were resident in the area but cannot find any trace of them through normal Irish searches.
My Father Hugh Campbell Kerrigan died in January 2003.
