I have been tracing my great-grandmother Alice Carrigg Gillan's Clare roots for over 25 years and yes, it is hard to trace thsese Carrigs! She was born 10-8-1868 in Smithstown, Drumline Parish, d/o Thomas Carrigg (1834-1884) a native of Gortnamuck, Clondegad Parish, Co. Clare, and Bridget Gleeson (1832-1919), a native of Fenloe, Tomfinlough Parish, Co. Clare. Tom Carrig was the son of William Carrig (1786-1866), a native of Cloonamore, Clondegad Parish, and Anne. William was s/o Daniel? Carrig, who also had children Michael, Daniel, Patrick, and Thomas. It is said that all Carrigs are eventually related, so I have tracked down all the people by that name I can! There was a Charles Carrig in Ennistymon in the late 1790s and early 1800s. One Charles Carrig was a grocer and another one, possibly the same one, was arrested for operating an illicit still c. 1800. I would like to start a Carrig/Carrigg newsletter to help researchers with their Carrig ancestry and connect them all as much as possibe!!
