Bannigan/Banigan of Monaghan
« on: Tuesday 05 October 04 11:49 UTC (UK) »

I am looking for ANY info on Felix Banigan (abt 1850) who married Mary Clifford.  I believe that they hailed from Monaghan.  Felix was my GGgrandfather.  They had at least one son, Patrick (my Ggrandfather), who was born abt 1872.

The family moved to Glasgow, Scotland, sometime between 1881 and 1891 (when they show up on the census, without Felix).

Thanks  Grin

Hi,

I'd suggest you start by looking for Patrick's birth in the indexes at the Dublin GRO or your local family history centre. Or the parents marriage if it was post 1864. Then you'll have an address to go to parish records.

HI,

No you cannot search the Dublin GRO online. The births 1864 to (I think) 1868 are in the IGi database of the family history search thingy from the CLS. Does anyone know if this includes marriages and deaths too from that timeframe?

Patrick Bannigan, son of Felix from Co Monaghan was married to my grandmother's aunt, Sarah Miller.  When her parents died in 1915 , Patrick and Sarah took her in to their home. Previously  Patrick served in the Boer War and met his wife because they both lived in the same backlands tenement at 43 Duke Street Glasgow.  I have Patrick's death certificate and can remember some stories my grandmother told me about him.

Thanks for contacting me  Grin
Which of Sarah's sisters was your grandmother's aunt, Agnes or Christina?
I never knew about the Boer war connection and any other info would be very welcomed.  My mother always refers to Patrick as being an absolute gentleman with a heart of gold.
I know about the family home at Duke Street, but not much before that.
Do you know Patrick's date of birth?  The age he is given at his marriage in 1895 (23) and that on his headstone in 1940 (68) give a DOB of 1872.  But I have come across an IGI record of a Patrick Bannigan (son of Felix Bannigan & Mary Clifford) being born in Ballybay, Co. Monaghan in 1864.
Do you know when Patrick's parents came to Glasgow?  Any info on the family is appreciated.
I have some old photo's of Patrick and Sarah if you would like a copy.

My grandmother was the daughter of  Sarah's sister Agnes Miller who married James Fitzpatrick.  They both died young in 1915, in the same hospital, a day apart.  Agnes had multiple sclerosis and James had bronchitis.  So my grandmother, Catherine Fitzpatrick went to live with her aunt Sarah and Uncle Paddy, as she called Patrick Bannigan .  I'm afraid I know very little about when they came over from Ireland and I've only got the same information as you. 
Both he and Sarah seem to have been extremely generous because they took in all the waifs and strays of the family when they hit hard times.  I found records in the Glasgow Poor Laws which referred to sister Flora and her 3 children also living with Sarah and Paddy.

I really would love photos if you have any with Sarah in them.  I only have one photo of my grandmother as a young girl and none of her parents, so anything you have would be greatly appreciated.

Flora (Florence) and her husband, Sandy (Alexander McCormack) lived with Sarah & Paddy for a time.  I am not sure if this was at their home at 53 Glamis Road, Parkhead or not but I can still remember visiting them at that address and Sarah was living there with them.  Incidentally, my grandmother (Isabella) lived next door.

I have attached two photos for you: -
The first is of of three generations of the family outside the house (tenement flat) at Glamis Road. The woman who is doing the windae-hingin' is Sarah.  The woman who is standing is Isabella, and the smallest boy (dark hair) is Vincent Bissette, Isabella's son.
The second is a family group Taken at the Banigan family holiday home (a converted single-decker bus) at Port Seton.  Sarah (Maw), Paddy (jnr), Isabella (Bella), Paddy (snr).

Hello James,

There may have been more than one Isabella Bannigan living in Glasgow (the name Isabella appears to be reasonably common in the Bannigan tree).

You say that half of what has been posted is "rubbish", can you let me know where the common ground is?

The younger woman in each of the photographs is Isabella Bannigan who married John Bissette and is not your "ma".

I noticed that your surname is Bannigan.  Is that your mother's birth surname or her married name?  If it is her married name then any link to my part of the Bannigan tree will  be through your father rather than your mother.

The ladies in the photographs are my grandmother, Isabella (nee Bannigan) and great-grandmother, Sarah (nee Miller), and knowing that I do not have an uncle James makes it pretty clear that you must be descended through another branch of the Bannigan family.  Can you post some details of your family on this forum (or, alternatively, send me the details as a private message) so that I can try to find out if your Isabella was related to mine.

Deslaw

I have found out more information on Sarah Miller and Patrick Bannigan from records in the Mitchell Library. If this is of interest still, please let me know and I'll pass them on.
