Thank you to those who offered advice on the Corrigan family research - Richard Corrigan of Rathvilly is our cousin and we have visited him in Ireland on several occasions over quite a few years now and feel we have already exhausted our knowledge of this family by sharing all the information we each already had. New input now might provide leads further back for us. I especially would be interested in learning if a village or location named Mildred exists in Co Carlow? Many thanks, Barbara Corrigan (Canberra ACT, Australia). --- On Tue, 5/4/10, Barbara Corrigan <barcor@harboursat.com.au> wrote: From: Barbara Corrigan <barcor@harboursat.com.au> Subject: [IRL-CARLOW] Corrigan family information request To: IRL-CARLOW@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 5:50 PM James Corrigan (1789-1860) and his wife Alice Tomlinson (1793-1872) were married 1815 at the church Aghade Leighlinbridge Co Carlow and their marriage certificate states they were both from the parish of Ballon.? Their first child Alicia Corrigan was christened at the same church in 1816 and I understand they were possibly living in Dublin from that time. I would like to know if anyone else is researching this family as I would like to be able to progress further back with James & Alice's parents.? From his army records held at Kew UK James was aged 22 years in 1811 and his father's name is given as John.? Further research has led us to suspect James' mother may have been a Miss Bradley? James had two brothers at least that we know of - William who married 1817 to Anne Brownrigg and John who married 1821 to Charlotte Downes.? Both James and William were officers in the East York Militia and John was an officer in the 3rd Buffs. We believe James at least was born in Co Carlow and one of his children in later years in Australia gave Mildred Co Carlow as his own birthplace. Very happy to hear from anyone who may be able to offer some more information about any of the people mentioned in this message or this family. Barbara Corrigan (Canberra ACT, Australia).? ???
