Geer’s Hartford Directory, July 1892-July 1893: Corrigan, Ann, wid. Peter, h. u. 88 Walnut
My objective is to find his parental information so my next task will be to look at Hartford death registrations for these years. They span two microfilms. It will take another couple of weeks to receive the film(s).
During the interim, I’ll wait for word from Mt. Saint Benedict Cemetery in Bloomfield about the Ann Corrigan buried there, who is possibly Peter's wife.
And work on finding more information about where William Carrigan came from in Ireland. Having a possible county is great, but this isn’t enough. I’ll start with two tasks:
- Find a naturalization index card for William Carrigan -- which will lead to naturalization records -- which may help to confirm the county.
- Find obituary of William Carrigan -- which may list where in County Leitrim he possibly comes from.
