Barbara, Just after having written the previous, I found a note in my records that indicate that my Martin Corgan b. 1770, married to Margaret Doyle appear to have had a son James, possibly born Bilboa, Co Carlow who is said to have died in Australia.  His occupation is listed as "Farmer, sheepherder".  There is a note from the original researcher that says: "One of John Corgan's brothers, per Ann Corgan McCarron; could be the brother sent to Australia as a prisoner per Martin McDonough, although Martin was not sure of the man's first name." I'll post a little more about this sometime soon.

I am also researching Corrigans/Corgans from Carlow, although I have not been active at this for quite some time.  Unfortunately, I cannot match any names that you have given, Barbara. The farthest I have back is Martin Corgan b. 1770 (Bilboa) married to Margaret Doyle b. 1774.  She too was likely from Bilboa.  These two had a number of children, one being John Corgan, from whom I descend.  This John was b. 1811 per family records; 1814 per his US naturalization papers. He married Mary Dooley of Killeshin Queens Co Nov 24 1833 in the Leighlinbridge Parish Church, Leighlinbridge Co Carlow; emigrated to Pennsylvania and worked as a coal miner.  Their son Martin Corrigan, b. July 13, 1834 was my gr. gr grandfather.  He was born Bilboa and baptized at the Leighlinbridge Parish Church.  Emigrated with family to PA and worked as a coal miner.  Married Mary Walker  of Upper Hill of Castelcomer, Co Kilkenny in Beaver Meadows, PA March 31, 1861. This family went on to have many children, some of whom stayed in Pennsylvania, with others moving to other states.  There is a branch of this family that went to Canada - Ontario I think. They all originally hail from Leighlinbridge, Carlow to my knowledge.  Again, I just cannot connect up any of the many names I have with any of yours, Barbara. Many thanks too to those who have mentioned the name of, and given contact info for, the researcher of this family in Rathvilly.  It is much appreciated.  If I ever get the time to get back to family research, I will contact him. Thanks to all in a general way also.  I enjoy reading all of the emails that come by.

The Irish Times - Thursday, April 29, 2010 An Irishman's Diary [image: Paddy Ryan told his daughter he regretted burning all papers with Kevin Barry's name on them after he learned about his capture. Was this the same 'Paddy' Barry referred to in his letter (above) recently sold at auction?]Paddy Ryan told his daughter he regretted burning all papers with Kevin Barry's name on them after he learned about his capture. Was this the same 'Paddy' Barry referred to in his letter (above) recently sold at auction?<http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/images/2010/0429/1224269285466_1.jpg> Frank McNally BETTY RYAN-O’GORMAN from Carlow has written seeking readers’ help on a matter arising from that Kevin Barry farewell letter: recently sold at auction and now happily – thanks to the unnamed buyer – bound for long-term loan to the National Library of Ireland. Beginning “Dear Boys,” Barry’s letter was addressed to several friends, one of whom is identified only as “Paddy”. Betty’s question is whether anyone out there can confirm this was her father Paddy Ryan, who was a first-year medical student with Barry in UCD, shared his republican activism, and once told her that he had been among “the group of students who drew straws to go on the particular mission on which Kevin Barry was caught”. Paddy Ryan did not speak much about his involvement in the old IRA, she adds. It was only through another of his passions – rugby – that he briefly opened up on the subject, some 50 years later, circa 1970. The occasion was the then-vexed debate about the GAA’s ban on members playing “foreign games”. By now synonymous with rugby in Carlow, from his decades-long involvement with that town’s club, Ryan thought the ban “ridiculous” and cited Barry, a rugby-loving nationalist martyr, in his support. When he expanded on this subject, his daughter first heard about her father’s friendship with the “lad of 18 summers” (as the song puts it, not quite correctly, since Barry was born in January and was two months short of his 19th birthday when he died). “He sat beside him during lectures and went to his home for Sunday tea with Kevin and his mother. He also told me that he regretted burning all papers with Kevin’s name on them after he learned about his capture. He went back to his room in the Hall of Studies and burnt them as he was afraid of the soldiers coming to search the rooms of Kevin’s friends in UCD. He was very proud of the fact that Kevin played rugby . . .” After that one conversation, the matter was not broached again. When her father died in 1980, Betty also discovered he had been a dispatch rider for the IRA during the War of Independence. This intelligence was related by an aunt who had a dim view of her late brother’s “racing around the country on a motorbike – taking risks and wasting Papa’s money”. The aunt might have had a point. Despite spending six years at UCD, Paddy never qualified in medicine. He failed his finals and didn’t repeat. But, as he told his daughter, he never wanted to be a doctor anyway, the choice being that of his father – himself a medical man, of whom more anon. So Paddy first became a journalist instead (the shame!), editing the *Carlow Nationalist* for a time. He then joined the sugar company in Carlow, where he worked until retirement. If anything, his apprenticeship as a dispatch rider may have borne more fruit than his medical studies: among the memorabilia he left was a medal won at the Isle of Man TT races. *NOW 74,* Betty is anxious to find out what she still can about her father’s involvement during Ireland’s revolutionary period, not just for herself but for her sons: who, as she jokes, are “afraid I might snuff it before imparting all I know about their interesting ancestors”. There are interesting ancestors on both sides of the family, in fact, although the contrast is striking. Her mother was Protestant, of northern Presbyterian and Plymouth Brethren stock. She liked to have pictures of British royalty on her wall and loved the people of the England, where she had worked for a time. Moreover, as a nurse, she “hated violence”. Not surprisingly, Ireland’s independence struggle was an awkward conversation topic for both parties in the marriage. Maybe that explains Paddy’s later silence. But if it was he who is mentioned in Kevin Barry’s letter, it was not the first time the Ryan family had brushed shoulders with a nationalist icon. Betty also writes that a generation earlier, in 1890, Paddy’s father – Dr Valentine Ryan – was one of the medics who tended Charles Stewart Parnell after he had quicklime thrown in his eyes during the infamous election rally at Castlecomer. Such was the bitterness of the time that opponents later claimed Parnell had been struck only by flour and that, by making subsequent appearances with bandaged eye, he was exploiting public sympathy. But contemporary news reports speak of an unnamed local doctor in Castlecomer who dabbed the caked lime out of Parnell’s eyes with “a stain handkerchief and some hair-oil”, while apologising for the pain this caused, and calming Parnell’s fears that he might lose his sight. Betty suggests that Dr Ryan became involved in the affair through his brother, Fr PJ Ryan, a friend of Parnell and the first secretary of the Land League in Carlow. Another man, she adds, who was not encouraged to talk about the events. The Parnellite activism was frowned on by his superiors and he was later “silenced” and “sent to Belgium”. Anyone with information about Paddy Ryan is asked to contact Betty by post c/o The Beams Restaurant, 59 Dublin Street, Carlow or by e-mail to the.beams@ireland.com.

Leonard Cohen is awesome performer and a true poet. and now he comes to Ireland to pay homage to William Butler Yeats, another of our finest. Michael, you are indeed privileged. I daresay he is more Irish than some of us ... And thank you very much for the War of Independence articles, they are most informative..... of course I always add a Big Thank You to Michael Brennan.

That is so exciting. I skipped classes in the mid 60s to hear Leonard Cohen read at UBC in Vancouver. He may not be steeped in Irish genealogy (but who knows?), but he certainly does have a passion for roots and history. "Elegy", the first poem in "Let Us Compare Mythologies" can be read in so many ways - beyond the obvious - and one reading for me includes how the past is always with us and within us..

I haven't gotten an email from the list since the 24th.....is everyone on vacation? Linda San Diego

Pat - while at the FHL today I peaked forward into the future to find some Onaghans. Since the record in question was 1843 I added 18 - 25 years on to 1843 and checked baptisms in 1861-1866. There were two Onaghan references, both mothers, no Onagahn fathers. They were Mary Honoghan, mother of Honora Doyle baptized January 19, 1862, father was Patrick Doyle. The second reference was for Sarah Onaghan, two baptisms; Johanna McGrath, baptized February 2nd, 1862, and Joseph McGrath, baptized August 28, 1866, the father was Jacob(James) McGrath. This does not mean that either of these two were the child baptized on July 16, 1843, but one of them probably was. Of course, it might not be either of them, but I am going to try and go back to the 1843 record and see if one of them makes sense. I would have done it today but the Center was closing and I did not have enough time. --- On Thu, 4/15/10, Pat Zipf <patzipf@verizon.net> wrote: From: Pat Zipf <patzipf@verizon.net> Subject: [IRL-CARLOW] BRian Walsh - request for recheck To: irl-carlow@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, April 15, 2010, 6:46 PM Hello Brian and the List, I just came across a family member in the Dunleckney Baptisms for 1843.  It is showing ? for the first name.....wonder if you would most kindly check it again and see if you can make anything out. 16 July 1843.......?

Hi Anna, I can definitely see how e's could be transcribed as o's and turn Helehan to Holohan!
