The president of Mexico is Vicente Fox. I was interested in the origins of his name. I went into Mexico's E Mail inquiry and asked the question. I was told he was half Spanish and half Irish ancestry. Does anyone know if this is correct. Thanks. Frank Fitzgerald

Please note that I am not related... No. 8165-Recorded Feb 20, 1896 Halligan, Patrick J, age 70y 3m 19d, male, white, married Died: Dec 19, 1895, 1:40 a.m. at 725 Perry St., Davenport, Iowa Cause of death: Congestion of Lungs Born: Co. Meath, Ireland. Resided in U.S. 42 yrs Buried: St. Marguerite's Cemetery on Dec 20, 1895 Obit: Daily Times, Davenport, Scott, Iowa, Dec 19, 1895 HALLIGAN Patrick J Halligan, who has been a resident of Davenport for the past forty-two years, passed away at the family residence, 725 Perry street, at 1:40 this morning. His death resulted from pneumonia, which developed from an accident of which he was the victim and which occurred last Saturday afternoon. While crossing the street on Harrison and Fourth, he was run down by a buggy driven by an unknown woman and severely hurt. He was thrown upon the pavement with such force as to inflict an ugly gash over his right eye and crush his right lung, from which pneumonia resulted. Mr. Halligan was a native of Ireland and was seventy years of age. He came to the United States in 1850 and to Davenport in 1853, residing here continually since that time. For about thirty years he held the position of general foreman for the Davenport Gas company, retiring from that occupation several years ago. He is survived by his wife and six children-John, James, Thomas, William, Joseph and Mary-all resident of this city. The funeral will be held from the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, interment to be made in St. Marguerite's cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "From Vol 2 History of Davenport and Scott County" by Harry E. Downer - S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago http://www.rootsweb.com/~iascott/halligan.htm Photo of Thomas Halligan Davenport, the commercial center of Iowa and the home of many extensive wholesale houses, finds one of its prominent representatives in Thomas F. Halligan, president of the Halligan Coffee Company, an enterprise of large and extensive proportions, in the development of which he has been a most important factor. In commercial affairs he displays marked ability in discriminating between the essential and non-essential and bringing into close harmony the varied forces that constitute the interests of the enterprise with which he has been associated. He is one of the city's native sons, born October 25, 1855. His father, Patrick Joseph Halligan, was a native of Ireland, born in Summerhill, County Meath, August 31, 1825. He came to the United States as a young man of twenty-four years, settling in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1849. He there resided for two years, during which time he was married, on the 27th of October, 1850 to Miss Ellen McNally, a native of Clonard, County Kildare, Ireland, who came to the United States in 1850 and died in 1897. In 1851 Patrick J. Halligan and his young wife removed from Paterson, New Jersey, to Peru, Illinois, where for two years he was connected with the gas business. On the 17th of August, 1853, he arrived in Davenport and was superintendent of the gas company here from 1858 until 1888, or for a period of thirty years, at the end of which time he retired. He enjoyed in unqualified measure the confidence and trust of those whom he represented and gave to them an efficient and valuable service, which was indicated in his long connection with the company. He injoyed, moreover, the unwqualified good will and esteem of all with whom he came in contact outside of business relation. He had a strong love for the land of his birth and was a member of the Sarsfield Guards when in Ireland, but was ever a most loyal American, in full sympathy with the republican form of government and the liberal principles for which this country stands. He died in 1893. Thomas F. Halligan was the third in a family of six children, all of whom were born in Davenport with the exception of the eldest son, John. In St. Marguerite's parochial school Thomas F. Halligan pursued his studies until fifteen years of age, when he accepted a position in a flour and feed store, where he continued for a year. He then became delivery clerk in the grocery store of Morrison & Glaspell and thus obtained his initial knowledge of the business, with which he has been more or less intimately associated since that time. He remained with the firm and their successors for five years and in June, 1875, accepted a position with Milton J. Gaspell. On the 1st of January, 1884, he entered into partnership with Mr. Glaspell in the grocery business at No. 16 East Third street under the firm name of Glaspell & Halligan. They were very successful, the firm enjoying a growing trade until 1887, when Mr. Halligan sold his interest and with G. J. Washburn organized the Washburn-Halligan Coffee Company, carrying a large line of teas, coffees and spices. This undertaking also proved profitable from its inception and after five years at their original location the firm in 1892 removed from Third street to larger quarters at No. 215 East Second street. On two occasions they suffered losses through fire but with resolute purpose they conducted their interests, the business continuing to prosper and grow until there was a pressing demand for still more commodious quarters. In 1907 the present magnificent building was erected and the business is now carried on extensively on East Fourth street. This is one of the most complete and attractive wholesale buildings in Davenport, where the wholesale trade of this section of the country largely centers. Mr. Washburn retired in 1896 and the business was then reorganized under the name of the Halligan Coffee Company, with Thomas F. Halligan as president, R. F. Miller, vice president, William Lillis, secretary, and Joseph E. Halligan, treasurer. The trade today extends largely over Iowa, Missouri, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Illinois. The house sustains an unassailable reputaion for the reliability of its business methods, and the spirit of enterprise and industry which dominates every department constitutes the basic element in the development of what is today one of the largest and most important wholesale concerns of the city. On the 17th of August, 1886, Mr. Halligan was married to Miss Mary, a daughter of John and Bridget Lillis. Mrs. Halligan was born in Davenport and by her marriage has become the mother of six children: Gilbert L., Eugene J., Grace, Camilla, Thomas, Francis and Angela. Mr. Halligan's social nature finds expression in his membership with the Commercial Club, the Woodmen of the World and the Knights of Columbus, and his standing in business circles is indicated in the fact that he has been elected to the presidency of the Jobbers & Manufacturers Association. He is active in every project concerning the welfare of the city and is a loyal son of Davenport, doing everything in his power to promote her welfare along the lines of substantilal and permanent growth and improvement. He is recognized by friends and business associates as a man of high character and sterling qualities and his life record exemplifies many traits of character which are well worthy of emulation.

I'm new to this list and hoping that someone will be able to advise me, I've never been able to make any start on this line, and do not have any details other than the following:- Caroline Clements, no details of birth but she was born in Ireland, possibly Dublin. I have no details of her parents, she married a William Birkin, I don't know whether in Ireland or West Yorks. In Wakefield, West Yorks she had 6 children one of which was Percy Birkin born 1898. I cannot find any trace of their marriage in West Yorks.. Best Wishes Janet

I have not been able to access the Waterford List or Shamrock list archives for a few weeks. I keep getting a message to go to Ancestry.com or Family search. Are the archives going to be available again? Thank you.

I was once told that Catholic girls sometimes used there "Catholic names" rather than their birth names. Could this be true when it came to registering on documents or census reports? i.e. Could a Catherine be a Mary, or other? Also, does anyone know of any "Irish" interpretations / variants of the name Thomas? Thanks bunches, Sharon

No. 8146-Recorded Jan 8, 1896 Lillis, John, age 61y 6m 29d, male, white, widower Died: Jan 8, 1896, 8:00 p.m. at Case st., Davenport, Iowa Cause of death: Hypertrophy to the heart Born: Co. Clare, Ireland. Resided in U.S. 44 yrs Buried: St. Marguerite's Cemetery on Jan 10, 1896 Obit: Daily Times, Davenport, Scott, Iowa, Jan 9, 1896 DEATH COMES SUDDENLY TO JOHN LILLIS While on His Way Home He Falls in the Street and Death Ensues Almost Instantly-His Demise a Shock to His Friends Death came quickly and unexpectedly to John Lillis last evening, and the announcement of his sudden demise will come as a shock to his many friends and acquaintances in Davenport. For sometime past, Mr. Lillis had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Joseph F Volz, resideing at 616 east Sixth street, and after partaking of supper there last evening, walked down town with his son-in-law, Mr. Volz. He was apparently in his usual health and neither himself nor his immediate relatives had any intimation that he was so soon to succumb to the inevitable. While returning home about 8 o'clock, he tottered and fell upon the sidewalk on Case street, between Iowa and LeClaire. Two young men, J.F. McCabe and N.W. Nelson, were a short distance behind him and seeing him fall, ran to his assistance. A glance revealed the distressing fact that he was in the throes of death, and in a twinkling almost the spark of life left its moral tenement. It being apparent taht he was beyond medical aid, word was sent to the station and in response to the summons the body was removed to Halligan's undertaking establishment. The remains were there examined by Coroner McCortney, who confirmed what had been apparent-that Mr. Lillis was beyond all earthly aid. John Lillis was one of the oldest and best known residents of Davenport, this city having been his home for nearly half a century. He was born in County Clare, Ireland, June 9, 1831, and came to America in 1842. After a residence of several years, he came to Davenport in 1851 and shortly after engaged in the grocery business. This he continued until eight years ago when he retired in favor of his son, William M Lillis. Subsequently he was engaged in the commission business in Chicago for several years, but returned to Davenport sometime ago, making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Volz, the greater portion of the time. At various times he has filled positions of municipal trust, having been city clerk in 1867 and 1868 and also having served as a member of the council. The deceased is survived by four children-William M Lillis, Mrs. T.F. Halligan and Mrs. J.F. Volz of this city and Mrs. M.J. Kinnalley of Chicago. He is also survived by his aged mother, now past her ninetieth year, who lives with his brother, Michael, at Long Grove. A postmortem was held this morning by Dr. McCortney and it was found that fatty degeneration of the heart was the cause of Mr. Lillis' death.

I'll bet on it, 'cause that's where the best odds are. It's clearly the ONLY county where all three names were very common in 1890. Flaherty: Principally located in counties Galway and Kerry Forde: Galway Cork Mayo and Dublin contain about two-thirds of the entries. Conroy: Nearly all in Galway, Queen's and Dublin. Check Mathison's Survey on Surname distribution in 1900. http://www.ancestryireland.com/databases/matheson/index.html Even the old original names for each of them also confirms an early history in the area of County Galway. The old Irish name, Macgiollarnath, (Ford) was from southern Connemara, which is where Galway. Ó Flaithbheartach, (O'Flaherty) was Co Galway - Lord of Moycullen and Iar-Chonnacht . Ó Conraoi, (O'Conry or Conroy) was from Co Roscommon and Galway - Uí Maine. See the Original names, Anglicized version and early County origin: http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/kilkenny/2/irenames.htm Old Irish-Gaelic Surnames I suggest you sign up for The Galway List and get on with finding these families.

Also, Lorraine, since there were children born to this family around 1868 check the Birth Registration Index for County Galway at your local LDS Family History Center.

Resided in U.S. 43 yrs Buried: St. Mary's Cemetery on Nov 7, 1895 Obit: Daily Times, Davenport, Scott, Iowa, Nov 5, 1895 O'DONNELL Last evening at the family residence, 1308 west Seventh street, Mrs. Mary O'Donnell, an old-time and highly esteemed resident of Davenport, passed from life to death. For sometime past she had been in feeble health and during the past few weeks her condition had been exceedingly critical. Everything, however, that medical skill could devise was done to avert the end, but owing to her advanced age and the severity of the attack death was the victor in the unequal battle, and at the hour of midnight she peacefully passed away. The deceased was a native of County Limerick, Ireland, and was seventy-two years of age. She came to Davenport forty-three years ago and has lived here continuously during all those years. A woman of kindly and sympathetic impulses, she made many warm friends during her long residence in this city and among the wide circle of her acquaintances her death will be generally regretted. The deceased is survived by a son and daughter-James O'Donnell and Mrs. Maria Bennett, both of this city. The funeral will probably take place Thursday morning, although the arrangements have not as yet been completed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ F.Y.I-Probably not related but for what it's worth- my O'Donnell info from Limerick!

Mr. O'Dea was born in County Limerick, Ireland in 1820. Like a good many of his countrymen he decided to come to America, arriving in this country in 1850 and settling in Princeton county, Kentucky. In 1855 he again moved coming to Scott county and engaging in farming near this city. This occupation was followed for twenty-six years, Mr. O'Dea becoming very prosperous and widely known for his thrift and good management. In 1881 he decided to give up the active life which necessarily falls to the lot of the farmer and retired, moving to Davenport for residence. He purchased a home on Marquette street where he has ever since lived. To mourn the death of the deceased are his wife, one son, John O'Dea, a sister, Mrs. Thomas Barron, and two brothers, Patrick and James O'Dea.
