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.

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.

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.
