Edmond Carrigan and family

Val:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked Roots Ireland and found the parents marriage in 1825. There were also baptismal records for the children you mention plus I found a Helen and did not locate the record for Bridget although there was one record with no name. I also checked the 1849 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Lismore and Mocollop ciivl parish and did not see Edward/Edmund. Maybe the family had left for America or possibly Edward was a small farmer who rented land from another farmer.

You could add Edward's story to our XO Chronicles site  https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…

Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for this information.  I don’t think Edmond and Mary came to America. I think only the children came here.  Yes, I did my DNA but unfortunately the people I match with either don’t have any info, or they don’t respond to messages.   Is there anyway to find out who Edward Carrigan and Mary Heale’s parents were?  Would that be on their marriage record in Roscommon?    Again, thank you for your time and the information   I am very grateful.

Valerie:

Civil registration of RC marriages started in 1864 so we only have the church record and parents names were never shown on church records. Also, Lismore baptismal records start in 1820 so we can't locate their baptismal records.

I did not see any civil death records for Edmond/Edward or Mary in the lismore registration district.
