I have a marriage between Katherine HALLIGAN and Michael GRIFFIN, whose son Peter GRIFFIN was baptised in Claremorris in 1847, born Gorteenmore. There were at least two more children, Bridget and Michael, who appear as sponsors of Peter GRIFFIN's children. Peter had two wives, 1st Ann JEFFERS, Feb 1872 Mayo Abbey, daughter of James Jeffers of Tawnylough. 6 children, all gone away or married by 1901 census, 2nd Ann CLARKE, at Kilcolman church , Claremorris Dec 1861, daughter of Thomas Clarke of Birchfield, 7 children, all at Gorteenmore in 1901, at least two emigrated to USA. Edward and Ellen. Ellen lived in Brooklyn and was married to a Bernard LAVIN. Edward went to New Jersey. I have extensive details of the GRIFFIN, CLARKE families, but not Kate HALLIGAN'S family. Do these fit in with anyone else's research please? Does anyone have HALLIGAN at all, which townland/Parish? Mary G
