Kildare / Halligan,Shannon,Moran,Tarpey Part I
« on: Friday 01 December 06 05:05 GMT (UK) »
Before I begin is Kilmore also known as Culmore?
I had a relative pay for a researcher 10 yrs ago and they referenced many births etc as happening in Culmore
This message is loaded with tons of names that maybe someone can connect with. I wish I could have put more in the subject line to attract attention to it. I really feel this can be helpful to someone out there.
What am I looking for?
And descendants of the names mentioned. I have a unbelievable amount of info, and currently am trying to concentrate only on my GGG Grand parents James Halligan-Mary Halligan nee Shannon then marries a Moran
I know where Mary went after James death and will persue that at will, but my biggest dilemma is finding where James Halligan was form and who his parents or siblings from
I was once told that if you send mail to Ireland to a certain person without knowing there address, but there name that there is a chance they might reply. Well this hasn't worked. Months ago I sent a letter to a Stephen Tarpey(Kilkelly), and like I figured no reply
I figured to resend this letter to the forum in case anyone can find a relation to their surname. With me trying to help myself I want to try and help others, so please bare with this huge message
Hello,
My name is Thomas Joseph Halligan from the United States. I’m writing to you with questions that may lead us to the knowledge that we in some way may be related. I would like to have a moment of your time to try and explain this.
I just recently came into a large amount of information in regards to my family history. A living relative back in 1996 paid for a researcher at the South Mayo Family Research Centre and there was a part added by the researcher that a Stephen Tarpey of Kilkelly may be able to shed some light on a possible family connection. I’m hoping that this is you. I recently tried to contact the person who did this research, but found out that they are no longer employed by the South Mayo Family Research Centre.
The family connection deals with the Halligan’s and Shannon’s of Culmore (Kilmore)
• James Halligan marries Mary Shannon 8 Jan 1862 (Mary is from Culmore). The witnesses for this event were(Thomas Harrington & Sabina O’Grady) This information came from-Kilmovee RC reg mars vol2 page 28
• James and Mary had 5 children that I know of and they are as follows
1. Thomas Halligan- birth certificate and location are unknown (I would love to have it). Died in New jersey
2. Bridget Halligan- born Culmore bapt 27 Dec 1863 (Sponsors Patrick ? & Bridget ? ) I’m under the impression that they may have been Halligan’s
3. Catherine Halligan- bapt 12 Aug 1866 (sponsors Martin Grennan & Eleanor Kelly) died 24 Dec 1866
4. Mary Halligan- bapt 24 Nov 1867 ( Sponsors Patt Shannon & Mary Duffy) died 24 Nov 1867
5. Ellen Halligan- born Culmore bapt 10 Oct 1868 (Sponsors Patt Hunt & Catherine Kelly)
• James Halligan died Feb 25, 1870 aged 35 years ( his burial location remains unknown as well as any other Halligan information before him) This information was found in Kilkelly civ deaths , vol 2, p 79 (informant Catherine Shannon, Barcull)
Mary Shannon remarries on 9 Feb 1872 in Kilmovee church Daniel Moran of Glentavraun, son of Patrick Moran (witnesses Daniel Horan & Ellen Shannon). They lived in Culmore and had issue;
1. Catherine Moran bapt 10 Nov 1872 (Sponsors Pat Shannon & Anne Harrington)
