Im ronan,23 and im just interested in finding out about other hourigans living ooutside of ireland??? Hourigan is originally a Limerick name

yes the hourigans did go to america and australia about 100 years ago.

There are lots of Hourigans and their descendants living in Marion County Kentucky, Texas, Missouri, and even Indianapolis, Indiana. They are all descendants of Patrick Hourigan who came to America about 1765 and who fought in the American Revolution.
My mother was Pauline Hourigan, born in Gravel SWitch, Kentucky, USA.

I am also a descendant of Sarah Hourigan who married Matthias Lezotte. They moved from Canada to Wisconsin. Her father was John Hourigan. I am also looking for anyone who would know where John and Sarah came from in Ireland and who Sarah's mother was.

This is just a coincidence but my mother was also Pauline Hourigan and her father was Patrick Hourigan, but Patrick was born in Araluen, NSW in 1888 and my mother in Kandos NSW in 1927.

There are lots of hourigans in Kentucky. My great great grandfather was born in Ky. in the early 1800's. My grandfather was a farmer in Gravel Switch, Kentucky, US. My cousin is a county judge in the CVounty of Marion in Kentucky. Also there hundreds of Hourigans in New York State.

Mary Hourigan b 1859, Co Cork emigrated to New Zealand when she was about 15, married Timothy Cosgrove in 1876 and had nine children.

Her father may have been Patrick Hourigan and mother Margaret Coleman. If any one can help with this please contact me.

There were also Hourigans that emigrted to Canada pre-famine
