In his index of the Griffiths Valuations "County Longford Survivors of the Great Famine," David Leahy lists the following Kerrigans: William at Main Street, Ballymahon Town (Shrule Parish.). Thomas at Cloonard (Taghshinny Ph). Patrick at Clygeen (Kilglass Ph.). Rose at Kilcurry (Taghshinny Ph.). Anne at Cornapark (Ardagh Ph). Bartly at Clonwhelan(Mostrim Ph.). Thomas, Margaret at Kilsallagh (Mostrim Ph.). Patrick at Balalley Lane, Granard Town. Patrick at Moxham Street, Granard Town. Honor at Leitrim (Granard Ph.) The map included in this book shows these townlands mostly to be quite close together in the southeast part of County Longford, with the Granard addresses more central. The repeated names may be the same individual having land in more than one townland. This is the time period of your Thomas' birth. The Longford Heritage Center could probably find birth records and sort the relationships out. Rachel Smith ____________ Hi, I am looking for information on Thomas F. Kerrigan, born 1848 in Longford. [May be Granard]. Thomas left Ireland for New York in 1863.He returned several times in the 1870's to visit his family. Thomas, a Piper performed in a variety of NYC theaters during the 1870's to 1880's. I'm interested in finding information about his family in Longford. Thank you, Ursula _________
