I would love to hear from anyone researching the name of Dignam in the area of Maker, Cornwall. I am descended from Andrew Dignam who was born in Antigua, West Indies in about 1790 and spent the majority of his life in Devon, mostly in the Devonport area. He was a mariner. From the certificate of his second marriage, his father's name is recorded as also being Andrew who was a soap boiler.
I have come across a record of an Andrew Dignam who was buried 12 May 1830 aged 79 years at Maker and I think it is likely he maybe the father of Andrew who was born in Antigua. I would love to hear from anyone researching the name of Dignam from the Maker area as I feel there may be a connection to my Dignams from Devon.
