Looking for descendants of James RIGGINS & Mary MULLIGAN
« on: Wednesday 14 October 09 21:12 BST (UK) »
I am looking for descendants of James Riggins and Mary Mulligan.

Variations of surname are Riggans/Riggens/Riggins.

James and Mary were the gt gt grandparents of my husband.

I believe that they all  lived in the Glasgow area, at one time,but eventually moved  to Campsie, Lanarkshire, and Shotts areas.

James and Mary's son Hugh, (OH gt grandfather), died 1919, aged 69.

As he was born c 1850, that would suggest a marriage for James and Mary, c 1845-50?

James and Mary also had a son James, who married Mary Clark, 1880, Trinity Church, Paisley.

Iam sure that there must be a good few of James and Mary's descendants about.


Look forward to a reply.

Hi Gail, there is a Hugh Riggans who lived in Shotts and now stays in Airdrie , possibly in his early 80s now.  Could be related.
