I’m still waiting for any word from Mt. St. Benedict Cemetery in Bloomfield about the Ann Corrigan buried there, but William Carrigan’s death record came today from the Registrar of Vital Statistics, City of Hartford, CT.
I received the Medical Certificate of Death and the Undertaker’s Certificate.
William died 9 Dec 1920.
His father’s name was Patrick, born in COUNTY LEITRIM, IRELAND. William’s birthplace was recorded also as COUNTY LEITRIM, IRELAND.
It worries me there is no recorded name for William’s mother – but the informant was Ann Carrigan, who was likely his daughter Ann. Maybe she just never knew her grandmother's name.
(The Mary Corrigan whose residence was 88 Walnut in 1880 had a father named Patrick –but I need more records to determine a relationship or not to William. She lived at 88 Walnut the same time as Peter CORRIGAN – I need to find out when he died).
**Christine Rose’s Genealogical Proof Standard: Building a Solid Case arrived in the mail, too.
**For the Backburner:
Spent a couple of hours at the FHC reading microfilm and found the will of William A. Kilmurray (probated 20 July 1916). Witnesses were: Mary Saunders, William H. Corrigan, and Annie KILLIAN. Don’t know if this is my William or not and don’t know who the other people are. There were no CARRIGANs/CORRIGANs/KERRIGANs listed in the indexes on the film.
