Hello Shane,just wonder if this may be of any interest to your research---First when doing any look ups always look for differant ways of spelling the name Rattigan/Ratagan/Ratican/Rattican & so on.I 've not come across the name around Moate with any of my own research but I do know the name was very popular around the Ballymore area (just a few miles from Moate )From Griffith Valvation there are Ratigans listed for Carricknagower & Lugacaha both places are in Ballymore Co Westmeath.Then I just had a look on the Irish family history foundation site--popped in the most popular name Mary--there were 26 Mary Rattigans listed for Co Westmeath & 8 of them were born in the parish of Ballymore between 1833-1889.Once again if you check out the map you will see how close Ballymore is to Moate ,Good Luck ,regards Nipy
