Looks like Corrigan was her surname - although transcription errors were frequent!

I'm afraid the only record for Samuel Corrigan 1787 + - 10 years is this one;

I couldn't find the marriage or any baptisms of children of Samuel & Alice.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I will work my way through these records.

Hi Helen

Thank you for replying to my post. It would appear we are distant cousins. It's nice to make your acquaintance.

I had traced your great grand parents John and Ruth (Whaley) Corrigan and their 8 children via ancestry.com. However, I had no marriage details for Robert William. Thanks for the information you provided.

Unfortunately I am still at a road block with the 'top end' of the tree. We know Samuel Corrigan (1787-1859) married Alice Cross (1796-1880). They had 8 children. Two of those children were your great grandfather John Corrigan (1837-1916), and his brother, Thomas Corrigan (1827-1908) who was my great grandfather. We also know that Samuel, our great great grandfather, had 2 brothers, Robert (1781-1853) & John (1792-1859). Interestingly, John died 29 May 1859 and Samuel died the following day. There are a number of records online recording these facts, including a copy of Samuel's last will & testement. 

As far as I can determine our great great great grandfather was Robert Corrigan (1755-1827), although I cannot be 100% certain of that. The details I have found are a little sketchy. I have no details of his wife.

Kind regards.
