My Grandmother was Margaret Carrigy born around 1896 around Ballynacarrigy. Her mother's name was Ann. She had many sisters and brothers - two were called Molly and Lily. Can anyone supply any information please?
-
Hello
Hope you get this. I have some information that you may be looking for. I am a Carrigy and my grandfather was Bernard Carrigy. I believe he was a brother of your grandmother. There were 11 brothers and sisters in all. Their mother was Ann Murtagh and father Peter Carrigy. I do have other information and would be interested if you have other information to share.

Hello John,
Thank you so much for responding. We must be second cousins then, because my lovely grandmother was Margaret Carrigy (she married John Corbett) and she must have been Bernard's sister. Do you still live in Ireland? I would love to hear everything that you know about the Carrigys and I'll do the same for you.
Regards,
Ann.

Hi Ann
Sorry for taking so long to reply - been very busy. Yes it seems like we are second cousins. I don't have lots of information with me right now but do have a very mini family tree somewhere. When I get hold of it I can pass it on to you. I do know there were about 11 in our grandparents' family. I have never lived in Ireland myself. My dad came to England and settled here back in the 1960s. I still live here and dad is still going strong. I have spent a lot of time in Ireland though. Do you live in Ireland? I never knew my grandfather, Bernard, as he died in the 1960s. He was brother to your grandmother. They lived in Street, Westmeath. As far as I am aware our grandparents grew up close to Castlepollard. I don't know how much you know so if you don't know a lot then please ask. If you do know then please let me know.

Just wandering if perhaps you can help me. My Grandmother was Rose Carrigy, born in Australia in 1894 to Richard and Annie (nee Fitzsimmons) Carrigy. Richard could have been your grandmothers uncle or older brother as there are so many children. Both grans parents were born in Westmeath. I know that Richard Carrigy was an extremely fine horse man and had a brother called John who immigrated to USA. Have you found any more about your grandmother's family?

Ann
I have now got a family tree going back to what would be our shared great grandparents but only that far. They were called Peter and Ann (nee Murtagh). They had 11 children - Bridget (Sister Kevin), Bernard (my grandfather), Matthew (who emigrated to and died in Argentina), John, Margaret (your grandmother), Molly, Joe, Lily, Julia, Tony and Christine (Dina). I actually have met a few of them when they were alive. I've chatted to my dad and learnt a bit more too. I remember going to see your grandmother at a very young age in England (I believe near Neasden?). My dad spoke fondly of his aunt maggie. We used to visit Molly every year in Ireland and she lived to a good age (98). I also remember visiting Tony and Dina who ended up living together and also Julia. I have quite a lot of information about each, including their marriages and children and grandchildren but this is incomplete particularly on your side. I know that your grandmother had 3 children. I have their names (Pat, Tony and Sean) but no further information. My dad can only remember so much as there is obviously a lot of people to remember. The challenge now is to find out more about the great grandparents (Peter and Ann) and any of their family. Please feel free to ask any questions you wish.
John

It is very likely that your great grandfather was a brother of my great grandfather. My great grandfather was Peter Carrigy. He lived in Westmeath - a place called Faughalstown close to Castlepollard. I'm trying to find out more about my great grandfather and his family but have little information at the moment. The date of your grandmother's birth makes it likely that her father was a relative of my great grandfather but I'm just not sure how they are related. Let me know if you find out any more.
John

John,
My gr grandfather's name was Richard Carrigy. He married Annie Fitzsimmons who lived nearby. Perhaps some of the other family members married into the Fitzsimmons as was common then. They had three children - *. My Dad is in hospital at the moment but when he is feeling up to it I'll ask him for some more information.
Rosemary
PS - I have 'photo' of Richard somewhere - more hand drawn likeness than photo actually.

Hi all, looks like I may be a cousin of ye also, my grandfather was Joe, who was a brother of ye're great grand father's , grandmothers etc, he moved down here to Cork ,
Blarney to be exact ,where he was a detective , married Rose lynch , had 2 daughters patricia (who died last year) my mother *, and 2 sons, Sean who died very young and * who is still alive , Granda Joe died about 1980. My mom has mentioned all the names of his brothers and sisters,I will ask her more about them
I remember Lily very well, she married an O'Brien and lived in Wicklow, she has also passed away a good while ago. She was an amazing woman, great character ,great laugh, a super poker player right up to her 90's!
I know my aunt Patricia kept in touch with "Tony Corbett" up in Faughalstown, but I don't recall ever meeting them.I will ask my Mom.
I had a family tree at one stage but again it only went back as far as Peter and Ann Murtagh.
Will try to find out more.
Niamh

Thanks Niamh. My Dad doesn't know much as it seemed that once the family hit Australia they left all memory of Ireland behind and didn't want to mention it. My Dad is however trying to remember as much as he can. I'm giving him some ginko to help spur him on.
Rosemary
-
Hi again
I have the family tree Niamh but it is missing a few from our generation. For example, i have some information which you could confirm with me if possible and help me out with. Accroding to my records your Uncle Peter had 1 son (Sean) and 4 daughters (Ursula, Anne, Claire and Angela). I don't have any information on your immediate family or your Aunt Patricia.
I spoke to my dad again but, as he pointed out, they were told very little when they were younger about past generations. He remembers seeing his grandmother (Ann) when he was very young but that's about it. What he did tell me was that Peter Carrigy cam from Garriskill, Street in Westmeath. This was the original family home. Peter moved to Faughalstown when he was married (possibly this was the home of Ann Murtagh or maybe belonging to an uncle or something like that). The homeplace at Garriskill then passed to a brother of Peters I think before being passed to my grandfather (Bernard). This is where my dad was brought up. Its now owned by my uncle Noel. Sadly it is now unoccupied and will probably fall into disrepair. Its very remote at the end of a long lane a few miles from the village of Street and is becoming harder and harder to get to as the lane becomes overgrown.
I also have no information on the Corbetts. Ann - maybe you can help if you are still following this?
Rosemary - I'm sure you're related somewhere along the line. Do you know or have you heard of a John Carney? He lives in Australia and wrote to us many years ago. He provided most of the family tree which I now have. I don't really know how he was related though.
-
Johnny Carrigy (John Curtain Carrigy, named after one of your prime ministers) very sadly passed away a couple of years ago. I don't think he was even sixty. he was an extremely popular person and very interested in family history. I'm sure this is the one you mean as he and his brothers and their children are the only Carrigys in Australia from what I can gather.
Rosemary
i was wondering if their are any mention of any Fitzsimmons on that family tree
-
Hi John , you are correct about Peters family.
(*)
Was trying to get mom to remember the family but she is not too well at the moment and was finding it upsetting so will have to leave it for a while.But she doesn't recall any information about her grandparents.
But she did remember Patsy going to stay in England with Margaret when she was studying nursing.

Hi again
Rosemary - was checking that letter but it was definitely a John Carney who was doing the research. Sorry but there is no mention of Fitzsimmons on the family tree. No more info to report. It seems like we can't mention living people Niamh. Need to concentrate on finding out more about the family of our great grandparents.
John

Hello John and all other Carrigy relations,
Sorry that it's been so long - great information from you, thank you.
Yes, my Nanny (Margaret) lived in Neasden. She was the loveliest person you could meet and sadly died in 1976, the year after my Dad (Pat Corbett, her son) died aged only 44. Nanny was heartbroken to lose her son. She was married to John Corbett, who died in 1971.
My Uncle Tony (Margaret's middle son) now lives in Co. Tipp., having lived in London since birth. The youngest son, Sean, died in about 1995. He, too, lived in London.
Do you live in London? I am in Norwich but visit London a lot, where my sister and brother live.
Nanny's (Margaret's) three sons were born in London, but had to go Ireland during World War 2 without Nanny or Grandad for safety. He went to the Carrigy family home and spoke of his aunts and uncles. My Dad boarded at a school in Westmeath and returned to London as a young man.
I'd love to research the great grandparents more - do you ever visit Westmeath? It would be good to meet up.
Ann.

Hello to all the Carrigys.
I am Lily Carrigy's daughter, Eileen. I have a fair bit of information on the family tree. Messages appear to be from Tommy's and Pat's family (my cousins). And Niamh, the Cork connection. I was in Westmeath recently. Stayed in Castlepollard. Lake Deveravaragh is still much the same as when my grandparents lived there - Ann and Peter Carrigy -farming land etc. Only the houses and the cars show the passing of the years.
My mother took lots of photos and I have some of the family getogether in Faughalstown with lots of children in them. Hope someone picks up on this as it is some time since you were on the site.
Eileen
-
Hello Eileen,
It's lovely to make contact. My father was Pat Corbett, who was Margaret's eldest son (your cousin, as you mentioned). Margaret and Lily were sisters, weren't they.
As you probably know, my dear Dad died in 1975 at the very young age of 44. Nanny (Margaret) died the following year. My Dad stayed in Co. Westmeath for many years as a child; he went there from London while the war was on and stayed for a few years afterwards.
When did you live there, Eileen? Do you still live there? It would be lovely to meet you all. Uncle Tony, Dad's brother is still alive and he lives in Co. Tipp. I live in Norwich.
I would love to see any information that you have on the family tree if possible, please.
Many regards,
Ann Blackburn (nee Corbett).
-
Glad you picked up my message so quickly Ann. Yes, it would be lovely to make better contact. I live in Co. Wicklow and have met Tony a few times over the years. There is always talk of a big Carrigy get together but of course it has never happened.
I'm completely new to this site so don't know how to make contact confidentially. We'll have to figure that one out. You have probably already looked at the Irish 1901 and 1911 census. There you will see the family names including of course Margaret. I remember her with great fondness. We always had a pet name for her, Auntie Baa. We never call her anything else. Don't ask me where that came from.
Look forward to more contact and maybe some of the others will pick up too.
Bye now, Eileen.

hah as soon as I saw the name "Sugarloaf" I knew I had to know you, how are you? all good here. I never got mam to tell me any more about the Carrigy's but we moved on to the Lynch gang from her Mothers side who hail from Valentia.
-
Don't mind those Lynchs. You just stick to the Carrigys and perhaps we can have a get together in Mullingar or Castlepollard next year?
We'll try to get Berney's side, who have been on this site, in again and not forgetting the Dalys.
-
Hello again
Its been a while since I looked in here. Am now trying to get the ball rolling about making contact and maybe getting people together in the summer. Delighted that your mum has improved (heard about her from G at Christmas).
Hope all is well with you. Keep in touch.
Bye from Sugarloaf.

Seek update on Carrigys of Ballynacarrigy, have researched Carrigy for some 50 years and charting families of same name worldwide. Posting research on ancestor.com with 600 descendants on carrigy tree. John Carney, grandson of Bridget Carrigy, great grandson of James carrigy of Street, county Westmeath.
-
John, Toms son, Ann B, Niamh, and Ann Daly.
Delighted to read ROOTS CHAT and posts for Carrigys of Ballynacarrigy. To John, I met your father Thomas Patrick and also sister Marie, I believe in 1998, also Julia and Ann D same year and drew up tentative chart of family of Peter Carrigy and Ann Murtagh. Family with slight variation confirmed by census data of that family listed in Fraughalstown in 1901 and 1911.
The key to learning the name of Peter Carrigy's father is Johns posting in January 2009 that his Grandfather came from Garriskill. The Griffiths Valuation record lists a Bernard sharing some 49 acres House, offices and land with Mary Lastly and also two other allotments in Garriskill.
It would seem likely that PETER Carrigy's father was that Bernard and that Peter and Ann's first born was Bernard named after the grandfather. Don't know if this is the same Bernard that I found in the Street Parish Registers at Boherquill.
Ann Murtagh would almost certainly have been born in Fraughalstown with plenty of Murtaghs listed there in Griffiths. The Carrigy/Murtagh, marriage was probably in the Brides Civil parish of Fraughalstown. The Catholic parish is named Turbotstown also now includes Coole and Mayne. The records dating back to 1777 with some gaps should be found at Coole. Father King is unlikely residing there now.
Hope someone can find record of Baptisms of Ann's siblings and names of parents also entry for her marriage. Keep me posted.
Latest research has been sparked by recent contact with Carrigy relations named Willington in Argentina.

Hi to all whose origins were Street, Westmeath.
Story on this Mother's Day from Down Under Aus.
My fathers mother told the story of the Carrigy's being the bonesetters. They could cure man or beast. They had the gift of God. In 1956 these stories were similarly exchanged between Paddy Carrigy of Bigfurze near Ballynacarrigy, at the time of my fathers visit from Australia. I was told the same story in 1988 by I think it was Mat Carrigy of Chancery , with considerable detail of one particular curing of a man from Dublin who fell off a roof. He remained a cripple after hospital treatment. He was taken What he called Bonesetters Lane to the Carrigys behind Boherquill Church towards Kiltareher. There bones were rebroken without anaesthetic, then reset and limbs bound.
He returned to Dublin and in due course walked again.
The story was beautifully told by Mat.
-
No postings for a long time. Trying to get going again. Any talk of a 'Gathering'?
Sugarloaf
-
Hi to Sugarloaf and any Carrigys, Ireland, England, Australia, etc. I drew up a family chart which I originally tagged Castlepollard Carrigy, but on visiting Julia at Baronstown in 1997 I think, couldn't work out the connection with the Street Carrigys. From Julia's account her family definitely had links with that same clan. There was some talk of her folk having something to do with a mill in street.
Apologies to johnc1973 for thinking I had met you and your father in Ireland but think in your chat you mention my correspondence. I think you would hold the key to unlocking the past. Any thoughts on my theory that the father of your Peter Carrigy d1934 could have been Bernard Carrigy who had three holdings of land at Garriskill in the Griffiths Valuation record.
Regarding gatherings, family and friends including a number of Carrigy descendants are getting together to celebrate my mother's 99 birthday on February 9.
To Rosemary, if your parents were Kevin and Maureen, I have you on my charts for Ausie Carrigys. your Carrigy ancestors were from Cloran in County Meath. We have held some Carrigy reunions and think one is coming up next Christmas.
Don't have Sugarloaf on my 1990 chart with data from Julia D. was Grania in your family?
Regards John.
-
Hi Street Carrigy
I'm referring to the fact that here in Ireland 2013 is the year of 'The Gathering'. People are encouraged to getogether to celebrate with friends and family from home and abroad. I wondered if there was anything planned for Westmeath?
Greetings to your mother on her 99th on 9th.
Sugarloaf.
-
Thanks for word on Westmeath gathering. Had pretty good gathering for mothers 99th on 9th March. Have put about 600 names of Carrigy descendants worldwide on my Carrigy tree but Private tree at present.. Few problems with double entries that need to clean up but can open tree to any interested parties.
Best luck for gathering, Sorry cant be there this year but hope to be in Sydney for Reunion there. My email address is *
Regards John and Maryrose

From down under, we celebrated mums 100th in Feb. last. This tread sparked by new contact via Ancestry from Kayleigh, great granddaughter of late Julia d. 1991, Baronstown, Ballynacarrigy.
Today Opened old box of letters from Julia and Ann D. of Baronstown answering earlier questions.
Reply circa 1990 -- "Garriskill " was left to Bernard Carrigy from Uncle Johnny. Julia's father was Peter Carrigy brother of Johnny. He married Ann Murtagh of Fraughlinstown who owned the farm there.
Does anyone have knowledge of the Catholic Church at Turbotstown, Civil Parish of Mayne where I believe Ann Murtagh would have married Peter Carrigy. Marriage would have been circa 1882.
Reading these letters from Baronstown now confirms my strong belief that Garriskill was the home place of said Peter Carrigy. Any questions or suggestions or news of Gathering.
-
I have just uploaded a photo of my great grandfather, Richard Carrigy, formerly of Westmeath, latterly of Nangana Victoria, Australia. The photo seems to have been cut from a larger one. I was just wandering if it was part of a larger Carrigy photo someone may have. Here's hoping. Rosemary
-
Forgot to say the uploaded photo of Richard Carrigy is on Ancestry.
-
It must belong to someone's tree, have you contacted them?

Hello to all Carrigys
My Grandmother was Julia Daly (nee Carrigy) and my Great Grandparents were Peter and Anne Carrigy (nee Murtagh). Julia Carrigy was born on 5th August 1901, her birth certificate has them living in Faughlstown at that time and Peter's profession then was Farmer. Julia Carrigy married Nicholas Daly from Russagh, he was born 1899 and they married on 10th August 1932 at the RC Church of Boherquill in Coole, Delvin. At the time of the marriage Julia was living in Garriskill. They went on to have 9 children, including my Mother Margaret "Greta" who passed in 2007. My family tree on Ancestry is public "Murphy Family Tree". I have a photo of all 9 siblings together taken at Baronstown.
Wishing you all well.
-
Hi everyone,
I'm a Brennan from Dublin and my Grandmother was Julia Daly, nee Carrigy -- Hi cousin Murphy! and Mam's [Colette] cousin Eileen. I've been also building out my family tree and would love to learn more about the Carrigys in Cork and Australia, and the Corbetts in the UK/Tipperary. I've also found the shipping manifest for a Kate Carrigy aged 17 who arrived in Ellis Island, New York in June 1908 on the Baltic and went to stay with her Aunt Margaret Carrigy in New York City - if anyone has any information on them it would be very much appreciated. Also interested in learning if anyone knows of any other Carrigys from this tree that moved to the USA.
-
Hi Cousin Brennan
I've sent you the little information I have on Kate but I will try to research her a bit more. Currently trying to find out more about her aunt "Mrs Margaret Carrigy", I will keep you posted. :)
-
For "streetcarrigys"
Peter Carrigy and Anne Murtagh were married on 12th Oct 1881 and it is recorded in the Parish of Mayne's book for Coole. It's possible they were married in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Coole which opened in 1841. I have a copy of the Parish record if you would like it.
Regards Miranda
(Julia Carrigy's Granddaughter))
-
Hi to all Carrigys worldwide, and in particular to "Baronstown" and "Splask" Brennan granddaughter of Julia. The message from Miranda Regarding date and place of Marriage of Peter Carrigy and Anne Murtagh in 1881 is very important to those researching this branch and for my research linking Carrigy families worldwide.
Regarding Kate Carrigy who went to New York to stay with her Aunt Margaret, Kate was I believe sister to Julia Daly nee Daly but that Margaret (perhaps married) was not connected to the USA Carrigy family connected to distant Carrigy cousins here in Australia. Another branch more closely related to our clan resided in Alabama, USA but again no Margaret there.
For those interested in Cork Carrigies, one family from Blarney were closely linked to your lot the others from Cork City our closer cousins one of whom we stayed with in 1988, namely John Carrigy.
Hope to stay connected to Carrigys with those descendants of our common ancestors James Carrigy of Street and Ann Cox of Ardagh.
John great grandson of James Carrigy of Street and Mary White of Clonwhelan.
-
Hi street carrigys - nice to hear from you. I'm reasonably confident now that Kate (Katie) (b. 1891) was a sister of my grandmother Julia Daly, and confirm that the Margarey Carrigy that was her arrival contact in NYC had residence at a hospital on west 59th street in NYC where she worked as a cleaner.
While I can find a record of Margaret in the 1920 census, I can't find any further records of Katie at all.
Margaret was born in Ireland 1862 and immigrated to the USA in 1864.
-
I have just uploaded a photo of my great grandfather, Richard Carrigy, formerly of Westmeath, latterly of Nangana Victoria, Australia. The photo seems to have been cut from a larger one. I was just wandering if it was part of a larger Carrigy photo someone may have. Here's hoping. Rosemary
Hi Rosemary
If Richard Carrigy was born 1852 died 1923, I have recently placed him in my tree. Our shared ancestor being James Carrigy (born 1780 married Ann Cox (thanks streetcarrigys for this informaton), they had 3 sons including Michael Cariggy (my 3rd Great Uncle) whose son Peter (1809-67) was Richard Carrigy's Father. I have sent you an invite to my tree on Ancestry.
Warm regards
Miranda
-
Hello Carrigy family worldwide,
I'd like to revive this thread to remember our lovely Carrigy family. Can we clarify who is descended from who? I am Margaret Carrigy's granddaughter, she was born in 1895 and her parents were Peter and Anne (nee Murtagh).
Regards to you all,
Ann.
-
Hi Ann,
I'm Julia Daly's (née Carrigy) grandson, and Colette Brennan's son, Paul. When I was a kid, I met Tony Corbett who I think might be your uncle?
I live in NYC and have located the graves for Katie and Matthew Carrigy in Queens who were your great Aunt and Uncle. They both died quite young in New York City.
The biggest mystery that I'm still working on is who was the Margaret Carrrigy that met Katie Carrigy at immigration in 1908.
Katie emigrated to NYC on June on June 6th 1908 on the Baltic from Queenstown. She was met by an Aunt Margaret with an address at 447 West 59th st. - a hospital.
Kate Carrigy is also listed on the detained aliens list, contact is Aunt Margaret Carrigy with an address at 383 Ave A. This is also the address of a Thomas Carrigy which is the contact used by Margaret Carrigy when entering NYC on Oct 23rd 1902 and Sep 7th 1910. I believe that Margaret might have been born in Ireland in 1862 and emigrated to the USA in 1864.
Even with this detail, I can't place Margaret or Thomas Carrigy in the family tree though...
-
Hello Paul,
We are second cousins, then, as my father, Pat, and your mother, Colette were first cousins. Thank you for replying! Tony Corbett is indeed my uncle and he lives in Co. Tipperary now.
It's a shame that Katie and Matthew died quite young, do you know what from? My Nanny, Margaret Corbett (nee Carrigy), was 81 when she died in London. I see from the 1901 census that Katie would only have been 17 and Matthew only 19 when they went to NYC.
I note from the 1911 census that my Nanny Margaret was not at home in Faughalstown even though she was only 16. I wonder where she had gone to, perhaps she had already gone to London by then, but that is so young!
Do you have any record of Peter Carrigy's, their father's, siblings? This Margaret must have been a sister of his, do you think? Or perhaps she was married to one of his brothers. I'll ask my cousin, Lorraine, to ask Uncle Tony if he knows anything about the ancestors who went to NYC.
I believe that it was often women travelling alone or with children who were detained until they knew someone would look after them.
I will keep searching about the Margaret Carrigy in NYC.
Many thanks for replying,
Ann.

Hi Ann - Peter Carrigy (our great grandfather) did have a sister Margaret, however she was born on Jan 15th 1854 so too old to be the Margaret who emigrated in 1864.
Peter had a brother Thomas (b. 1857) who was married to Marcella (b. 1870). They are in the 1910 US census living in New York.
It could be that Margaret (b. 1854) is who Katie met with and I have the wrong emigration information/date for her.
I believe that Katie died during the great influenza epidemic. I don't have info on how Matthew died. He had been a bartender on 3rd avenue.
Did you see daithi's info on a servant named Margaret Carrigy aged 17 at Turbotstown in 1911. Could be your grandmother?

Hi dathi - thanks as always. Peter Carrigy parents - Bernard (d. 1878) and Bridget (d. 1876) were indeed deceased when he got married.
Interesting that Bernard just lists 3 children. Especially as it looks like Margaret and Thomas had/or subsequently emigrated to New York.
John (Johnny) did indeed inherit the Garriskill farm). It's still there today! Especially

Thank you dathai, it does indeed look as though my Nanny, Margaret, was a kitchen maid in the household of Major Gerald Dease in 1911 when she was 16 or 17. I will ask Uncle Tony if he knows anything about this. She certainly was a very skilled cook and she would serve lunch and dinner with linen tablecloths and napkins, lovely serving bowls and cutlery. She was an incredibly giving person anyway and so loved by everyone who knew her.
On another note, I have had my DNA analysed on the site 23andMe and I have over 1,200 relatives on there all linked by DNA, half of which are from my father's side. There is a Thomas Carrigy on there, a third to fourth cousin. He lives in Las Vegas.
Thank you all for your information. I will start to formally compile a record of all these findings. What tool for family tree recording do any of you people recommend, please?
