Surnames: Brannigan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RdF.2ACIB/78.1 Message Board Post: My daughter's grandfather was a Brannigan also thought to be of Irish decent. James and John Brannigan (brothers) immigrated to Canada from Scotland with their widowed mother Beatrice Brannigan. (I have been told that she was christened Bridget but changed her first name somewhere along the line) I think they immigrated in 1919 to Quebec Canada. The two brothers settled and married in the Vancouver area. Both dropped the Brannigan last name while still teens when their mother remarried here in Canada. There is so little information on my ex-husbands side of the family and I am trying to find out a little information for my daughters. I am wondering if my daughters great grandfather (first name unknown) had any sisters or brothers who may have also immigrated to Canada. None of the decendants of John and James have any information on the Scottish/Irish history. They think the boys were born in Govan and raised in Glasgow Scottland until their father died and the family imm! igrated to Canada. Does any of this fit in with your family history? Let me know if so. Thanks, Allison
