He died and was buried at Grosse Ile in 1847. He was onboard the Triton from Liverpool and died between June 18 and 24, 1847.

Most McTigues or the variant McTighe came from South Mayo around Claremorris. I have family in that area and have done an extensive family tree of the McTigues. A lot of them in the early 1800's came from the Shrule and Kilmaine area. You can check with the local churches such as Holy Family in Irishtown, St Joseph's in Ballindine and the churches in Shrule, etc. for others related to your Patrick.

Nancy and Thomas are the only entries for that surname. Have you looked in Liam Sword's "In Their Own Words"? My ggf was mentioned. "Tuesday 30 March (1847). Michael Coggers, Anthony Cannon, John Coggers, John Lavin, and Pat Mulderrig to Lord-Lieutenant complaining that they were not paid 8d a day for the use of their asses on the line of road from Springhill to Balla in the barony of Gallen." "Bohola, Sunday 16 May (1847). P.J. O'Connor CC to Society of Friends re an order on Westport which was recalled. " . . . This very day I have to record the death of a man named Patrick Mulderrig of Grallagh who was found dead in his cabin and it cannot be ascertained when he died or how long he remained unheeded and unheard of but the fact of the greater part of the human visage viz. his nose, eyes and mouth and also his fingers and toes been eaten of by rats, tells he must have remained there unheeded for a considerable time. . . Another source would be 'The Famine in Mayo: a portrait from contemporary sources 1845-1850' 'Fever, dysentery and diarrhoea are greatly on the increase, beginning with vomiting, pains, headache very intense; coming to a cnsis in about seven days, relapsing again once or twice, from which death occurred through mere debility or diarrhoea, caused and kept up by bad food, principally Indian meal, supplied to them in small quantities, and which they invariably swallow after only a few minutes boiling and sometimes cold and raw. The greatest mortality is among the labourers, men and women, on public roads, in cold, wet, boggy hills'.
