Mary, Thank you again for the time and trouble you've taken with my enquiry - it's much appreciated. I think my next task is to find out where Michael was working in the North at the time of the 1911 census and find him there (I've only just learnt that this is possible in Ireland - the 1911 census isn't available for England yet) then I will - hopefully- have an indication of where to look in Tipp. The info you've found will give me reference points as I feel I'm working in the dark at the moment! There is a Lanigan family at Three Castles which I don't think is mine although there is a son - Michael- with the "right" dates. That family had at least ten children, some of whom went to America. My grandfather never mentioned any family so it's really unlikely to be the Three Castles lot! I will also try to chase up the siblings you found as that may throw up more information on the family as a whole. I forgot to say that Michael's father James' occupation was a farmer - again info from Michael's marriage cert. Thanks again Mary, Alison -----Original Message----- From: Mary Heaphy [mailto:tipwex@eircom.net] Sent: 17 January 2006 10:52 To: IRL-TIPPERARY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TIP] ROLL CALL <LANIGAN> Alison, I got it on the UK/Ireland CD's for civil births from 1864 onwards.I also looked in Kilkenny and there weren't any Lanigans that would fit in. Littleton is a village and townsland about 3 miles from Thurles on the Main Dublin to Cork Road.
