Sarah and Fergus Kerrigan died in Ireland, as did at least two of their children, Patrick and Sarah. I don't know what happened to the oldest, Bridget. John (my grandfather) and Mary ended up in Illinois. An Irish second cousin told me Stephen "went to America and was electrocuted" but I can find no record of that. Of Sarah's Kelly nieces and nephews (children of her brother Thomas), I know only that Christy asked my grandfather to send him money to emigrate to America and I assume he did. Don't know what happened to the other children, Patrick, Thomas, and Catherine. I assume your Kellys were earlier and emigrated to Australia? Diane
Hi Diane, do you have a rough age for Bridget? There are several Bridget's that lived in Tasmania. I have a spread sheet online the covers Northern Tasmania, in which you might find several wit the names Bridget, Patrick, Thomas and Michael. All good Catholic names. http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/kellsp/Deloriane%20Kellys.htm Cheers PK Paul Kelly www.members.optusnet.com.au/kellsp 7th Generation Aussie Melbourne Aust.
