I am looking for any information about ancestors, descendants and family members of the Lourigan/ Lorigan/ Lonergan (+ variants), Fogarty and O'Connell families and their places of origin in Limerick.

Patrick Lonergan & Margaret Fogarty were the parents of Daniel Lonergan

Date of Baptism: 30-Oct-1858

Address: Not Recorded

Parish/District: MURROE & BOHER

County Co. Limerick

Daniel Lorrigan emigrated to Queensland, Australia in 1877 with his older brother William (born abt 1853), his brother's wife Maria O'Connell (Bap 21 Apr 1845) and their children, Margaret 6, Johanna 4 , Patrick 2 & Michael 1.

Maria's parents were Michael O'Connell & Margaret Power.

Daniel married Maria's sister Catherine O'Connell (Bap 19 May 1842 Cooga, Doon, Limerick) after they arrived in Queensland.

William and Daniel's younger brother Thomas (b abt 1860) also emigrated to Queensland, Australia where he married in 1884.

I am willing to exchange any information I have.

Thanks

Dale Fogarty

  • Thank you so much for a quick and informative response ?ine.

    I had the names of the children but very few of the dates and addresses so very grateful to receive these.

    I would also be interested in seeing the remainder of the entries you mention, if you don't mind. I have two other children for Patrick Lonergan and Margaret Fogarty - Maria and Patrick c1849. I can't find the source so I don't know if this information is correct or not. If not, possibly a related family? I understand that there may still be Lorigans in this area.

    Were you able to find a marriage for Patrick Lonergan and Margaret Fogarty? What are the starting dates for these records?

    Or any information about Fogartys at all? Could she/they be from Abington? I'm not sure where that is in relation to Murroe / Mongfune.

    I have also posted the message to the Doon Parish as you suggested.

    Thanks for all your help.

    Here are the other Baptismal records for Lonergans  from 1814- 1897

    2 MArriages

    Michael Lonergan and Martha Meehan  07 Feb 1861 sponsors Matthew Lonergan and Hanora Lundon

    William Lonergan (Lorrigan) and MAry O'Connell  08 Feb 1872 sponsors Pat Troy and Johanna O'Connell.

    I Think there are still Lorrigans in Mongfune actually !

    I Didnt find any record in Murroe for Patrick and Margaret Fogarty - the tradition at the time was for people to get married in the brides parish - so it may be possible that she was from a neighbouring parish.

    Sorry completely forgot to look at the Fogartys

    Very Few of them in Murroe so will type them up quickly
