Hi all I wonder if someone could be so kind as to lookup the marriage of what I hope is my 2nd great grandparents. As far as I know they could have been married in Lewisham Dec 1850 their names are William Calderwood and Ann Mead, from a census in 1881 in Glasgow William was born in England and Ann born in Ireland I do not have anymore info. Other than on William's death certificate was an army pensioner died at the age of 72, I believe that they could have met while William was at Greenwich Woolwich Arsenal.


Thanking all in advance for their kind help

Hi I have tried to find where my 3rd great grandparents lived. I have noticed that in the Griffiths Valuations  1858 for Lavally West Killerry there is a head of Household a Patrick Kerrigan. Then in the 1901 Census for there the head of household is a Bridget Kerrigan Lavally West Killerry Tirerrill Sligo . Could anyone help me in finding if this is my family as, I can get no further with this brickwall.

Hi Audrey,


I have a Patrick Kerrigan married Bridget McGowan Saint Molais's Rc Church Feb 1852 They had a least 3 sons first Christened Denis Feb 1853  same church. the other two sons one is my great grandfather Charles born around 1859 and Patrick born around 1863. They came to Glasgow and married and settled here for some reason my side of the family name changed in 1901 census for Glasgow from Kerrigan to Carrigan.

This I found out after I had been searching for Carrigans till I found Charles marriage certificate the name was Kerrighan do not bother with this spelling as his brothers name was Kerrigan Scots ear and Irish accent.

That is all I really know but there were two Patricks in the Griffiths Valuations 1858 for Sligo one at Killerry and the other at Drumcliff, but this only gives head of households so you can see the brickwall. Even they may not be my Patrick he may have not been head of the house if they stayed with either family


Regards Robert Carrigan ( Kerrigan)

PS Do not have any birth certificates to establish when the year they were born.

Hi All,
