Recently I found my Corrigan cousins in Ireland,but I also found that I had 6 Guncles and 1 Gaunt to search for.My problem is I have never searched for a female relative before and I need help.Mary Corrigan was b1858 in Tyrone,Parish of Termonmaquirk and I have found 2 Mary's in the 1880 US census,one in NY & one in Cleveland, Cuyahoga Ohio. If she is married before next census I will not know her married name I am sure this has happen before and I am looking for help from those of you who have had to face the same problem.If this had happened to me a few months ago I would have given up and stopped searching.I received a email from a person asking for help searching Corrigans in Tyrone and in helping him I found a Corrigan that led me to my new found cousins.TIA George Corrigan Buffalo NY

George, I belong to one of the many Corrigan lines in the Cleveland Area. My Grandmother was Bridget Corrigan from Cloghmore, Achill Island, County Mayo. Most of the Corrigan families in this area are originally from there. Bridget was the oldest daughter of Hugh Corrigan and Sarah Forrey Corrigan Gordon. The only member of this family to have left this area that I know of was Patrick Corrigan and he went to Chicago he was called "fishy" and I haven't found out why yet. I will be glad to share my Corrigan family if you are interested. Bridget Corrigan married Patrick Patton June 13, 1894 at St. Malachi's Church in Cleveland, Ohio. Hope this is some help, if only to eliminate people.

Hi Lee, My great-grandmother was Judy Corrigan from Achill. She married Neil O'Donnell and had my grandfather Edward (Eamon) who was born approx. 1879 in Achill. She may have had a brother named Thomas. Any connection?
