Hello Kathy, I'm researching BRANNIGAN's from Drogheda, Louth. According to my Aunts, my ggrandfather Christopher, was born in Drogheda( in the year of the new bridge; 1855 ) one of twins, brother Philip. I obtained the film of the St.Peters' R.C. church records to check it all out. I found a record of twins Christopher & Philip to John & Margaret BRENNAN in 1855. I knew of an older sister of Christopher, & she appeared, Mary, to John & Margaret BRANNIGAN. I then found the marriage of John BRANNIGAN & Margaret CAMPBELL, & another son. There were no other mentions of a John & Margaret BRENNAN, so I assume for some reason the surname appears incorrectly in my ggrandfathers case. I wouldn't say they were interchangable surnames, however , mistakes are made, & it's always wise to be very flexible regarding surname spellings & variations.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RdF.2ACIB/73 Message Board Post: I recently purchased a Victorian studio photograph of “John J. Brannigan” at an antique shop in Morris, Illinois. I enjoy buying lovely old pictures like these in antique shops (with names on the back and locations on the front) and locating descendants/family members so that I can re-unite the pictures, for only my costs, with people who will treasure them. This picture was taken by the “J. G. Carwall Studio, 1624 W. 47th St., corner of Marshfield, Chicago”, and it is my estimate that it was taken in about 1900-1910, give or take a few years. John is a handsome young man about age 30 +or- a few years. He has dark hair, and is wearing a shirt, tie and outercoat and a pin attached to a chain, similar to those work by a brotherhood of some sort. The picture is itself 4- ¼” x 6” and is an original, mounted on a heavy card stock frame of 6” x 9”, as was typical during that time period. The picture is in very good condition. If John is your family or if you can relate to a Brannigan family in Cook Co., IL in that time frame, please Email me directly at [email protected] and I will get back to you soon
