The Carrigans as well as Mary Murphy are on the back burner now.
After several months’ hiatus, I’m going back to the beginning, back to the record in which I first found a connection between my gg grandfather Edward Higgins to John Higgins (completely unknown to me at the time) and the Carrigan lot.
I’m doing this in hopes there’s some small detail I’ve missed.
I’m going to walk through info for a connection between my Higgins family and the Lawrence Carrigan (whom I think is Annie’s father) who was baptized in the Roman Catholic parish of Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland.
What is the objective?
I need some small detail that will bring me to the full birthdates of my Edward and John Higgins, in order to match them with the birth/baptismal dates that belong to the Edward and John Higgins found in the RC parish of Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland.
These birth/baptismal dates from the RC parish of Lismore are:
John Higgins: 9 December 1842; Father: Michael Higgins; Mother: Mary Walsh
Edward Higgins: 25 February 1844; Father: Michael Higgins; Mother: Mary Walsh
