Posted on: HALLIGAN Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/h/a/HALLIGAN/queries/10008 Surname: Halligan, Cope ------------------------- Steve; Came across your query. While I do not know of a Pittsburgh connection, I have noticed a commonality of the men in my branch of the family that doesn't apply to others. All the men have either a first or middle name of William, James, or John. I have traced this back even to gravestones in Drogheda, Ireland where my great-gran da came from. Probably a worthless bit of information for you, but perhaps there is some connection here, as all the men mentioned in you letter have those names! Kip John Halligan

This Patrick's father was also named Patrick and the older Patrick may have been my gr gr grandfathers brother. There is also a Katherine (Ebenezer Dodd), Olive (sister Mary) (John Fennell) and Sarah (Charles Rogers). All other HALLIGAN's I've connected. Thanks Colleen

Hoping this is a variant! I have a 10" x 31.5" photograph of Battery K 96th C.A.(AA) [Army], taken on 10 Nov 1941 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. There are 97 men in the picture. J. R. Holligan is in the picture. Please note, I have no connection to this surname. My father was the commander of the company I would be glad to send a scan of him to interested persons. I have subbed to this list in order to post this information. I will be unsubbing within a day or so. Please reply to my email address. Thanks!

Hello to all listers, I have just received documents from the British Ministry of Defence and finally have some information on my Grandfather who was killed in Libya in 1942. I wondered if some kind soul could help me fill a few more gaps. JOHN MOONEY born 20:06: 1918 in THE PARISH OF SAINT JAMES, DUBLIN. My first question is can anyone give me any information on this area, parish of Dublin. John's actual address when he enlisted 17 IRWIN STREET, DUBLIN Does this place still exist? Where is it? His sister and Father are recorded as his only family, not his Mother? His sister's name is recorded as Mrs M. HALLIGAN Any information on this name or any connections would be wonderful. His father was EDWARD MOONEY Any one researching this line or has any information would be greatly appreciated.

This is a new surname for me. Does anyone else have my Elizabeth Ann in their HALLIGAN tree. I don't know much about my Ellis as she was called on one document. Census records state she was born in VA Jan. 1843. Evidently she married Carl Wilhelm KIEL about 1868 but I don't know where. Carl could have been in PA before coming to St. Louis. I find them in St. Louis on the 1880 census with 5 children. The oldest was stated that he was born MO 1870. One document was stated Ellis as being from WV. Was wondering if she was born in a VA county that it is now WV. Does anyone know of HALLIGANS in PA or VA in this time frame. I had the 1850 VA census checked for HALLIGAN & found only 2 & they were in the same household. Does anyone have the 1840 VA census for HALLIGAN? Geraldine in MO

I am looking for Halligan relatives in Ireland. My great grandfather, John Patrick Halligan came to Mobile, Alabama, sometime around 1862. John was born in 1833 somewhere in Ireland. He was knowledgeable about building ships and could read and write. He married Alice Burns in 1865 (in Mobile) and had five children, Maggie, Josephine, Albert Sidney, Robert Lee, and Edmund Byrne Halligan. Edmund was a year old when he died. Robert did not marry and was 27 years old when he died. Maggie and Josephine were sent back to Ireland, when John Patrick's business closed in 1880. John Patrick left Mobile in 1880 to find work in New Orleans, Louisiana to support his family. One year later he died of a heat stroke. Alice died two years later of dysentery. They are both buried in unmarked graves. My grandfather, Albert Sidney was the only one left (that I know of). I believe he was raised by the Burns' family. I have found very little records here in the US of my family's. My grandfather, Albert Sidney died several months after I was born. I believe that he did not know much about his parents. He was only 3 years old when his father, John Patrick died, and 5 years old, when his mother, Alice died. I do know that my great grandfather, John Patrick designed and built a submarine during the American Civil War. I have copies of letters (in 1862) John Patrick wrote to General Beauregard about building a submarine (the "St. Patrick") to destroy the "Lincoln gun boats". Albert left his family at a young age (14 or 15) to go work on ships. He eventually became a marine engineer. He spent some time in New York City, which is where he married Johanna Coffee (born in Memphis, Tenn) around 1910. Supposedly, Maggie and Josephine came to New York City from Ireland for the wedding. A few years later, he moved back to New Orleans and fathered 3 children, Nellanna, John Francis (my father), and Thomas Sidney Halligan. Any information or help would be appreciated. I have been researching my genealogy for over 8 years, and keep hitting a brick wall when it comes to the Halligan line. Thanks, Mary Halligan Houston, TX USA

I'm searching for information about Mary Ann Halligan married to John Cocking in Madras, India abt. 1825. John was a soldier. I think that they had a daughter born in Madras or Moulemein, India (India --> Burma --> Myanamar) between 1826 and 1830 by the name of Mary Frances Cocking. Mary Frances was married 31 May 1854 to George Joseph Mauger at St. Philips Church, Clerkenwell, London. Any information or leads about Mary Ann will be appreciated.
