The letter about the Ann Corrigan buried in June 1901 in Bloomfield came today – finally.
It gives some information, but no records were sent with it:
• A Peter Corrigan purchased the lot where this Ann is buried, but it doesn’t say WHEN he purchased it. If he is my Peter, it’s likely he died between the years 1891-1893, well before this Ann was buried. I must find out WHEN the lot was purchased and why.
• Buried with Ann are:
Marcella Welch -- April 8, 1938.
Margaret Mary Corrigan – June 7, 1943
Mary Jane Corrigan Sept 22, 1967
Bingo! Bells are ringing! These are the given names of three of Ann’s daughters who lived at 236 Garden Street in Hartford.
Did Marcella marry a Welch? This is interesting because, according to Marcella Corrigan’s birth record, her mother Ann’s maiden name was Welch.
It looks like I’ve got more records to find. Ill start with obituaries.
