Louth / Re: Brodigan Family - Drogheda
« on: Tuesday 24 January 17 15:24 GMT (UK)  »
The Francis Brodigan born in 1904 is the son of the one born ca. 1871. The one born in 1871 moved around a lot, and consistently gave the names of his parents as Francis Brodigan and Mary Fraser, but I can't find anything on this couple on Ancestry, nor on Familysearch.org. I found a book that mentions Thomas Brodigan of Piltown House and the fact that he traveled to Gibraltar, which could just be a coincidence, but it made me think this might be a line worth looking into.
Thanks for your reply!

I don't know if this is the Brodigan family I'm searching for, but it seems like a good place to ask questions. I'm trying to find the parents of Francis Fraser Brodigan who was born ca 1871 and was raised by his aunt, Flora Fraser in Gibraltar. On numerous documents he gives his parents names as Francis Brodigan and Mary Fraser, but I can't find any record of any of them. He stated that he was a British subject, but gave his race as "Irish" on a number of immigration records and passport applications.  He shows up on the 1878 census of Gibraltar, living with his aunt, Flora Fraser, but that's the earliest official record I can find on him. I suspect he was born somewhere in the UK and that his parents died young and he was sent to live with family in Gibraltar. If anyone has any information on this line, I'd be grateful to see it. Thanks in advance...
