I am visiting the area in a few days and looking to see if anyone on the message board lives in the area and would know if any relatives of this family still live in the area near Borrosokane, Co Tipperary and might have information on parents, siblings, places of burial etc.
Family info:
James Corrigan (Carpenter) b: ~ 1819 d: 1889 (Ballyspellane (Uskane near Borrisokane) m: Mary Hoctor b: ~ 1823 d: 1903 Milford (Aglishcloghane near Borrisokane)
They had 11 children:
Margaret Corrigan b; 1845 (Ballyspellane) m: James Brasil. Lived in Milford in 1903 and Ballyspellane North in 1911
Bridget b: 1847 (Borrisokane parish) d: 1909 Magherafelt??
Mary b: 1850 (Borrisokane parish)
Anne b: 1852
Michael b: 1854 (Borrisokane parish)
Judy b: 1856
Winifred b: 1858 (Borrisokane) My ggrandmother. Immigrated to Philadelphia at age 17.
James b: 1860 d: 1875 (Ballyspellane, Aglishcloghane)
Pat b: 1863
John b: 1865 (Ballyspillane North, Aglishcloghane.) Lived Ballyspellane North in 1911 (single)
Hanora b: 1868
Might anyone know if any if Winifred's siblings stayed in the area and might have info on their grandparents or other information? Would love to know if family still resides nearby and possibly meet them.
I do plan to contact the keeper of the cemetery, and visit the church.
Any suggestions of other local sources of information that I should search for that I might not find online?
Thank you,
Nanette
