    I looked at the 1911 census in Co. Cork for a Cornelius Mehigan. I found two records ( a 12 year old and a 6 year old) which are below. Do you know what year Cornelius was born?

    Thank you for your reply.My father's birth certificate  shows that my grandfather was married to agnes boyle in 1914.I believe Agnes was Scottish and my father was born in Glasgow in1916.They then returned to Ireland sometime after that. So the 1911 census results you so kindly found would be too young.

  • Hello Mike,

    I am researching No. 305 Squadron and I have a F/Sgt Jeremiah Mehigan serving in the squadron in June - July 1944. He was a navigator flying De havilland Mosquitos, and his pilot was Geoffrey Suckling. Would this Jeremiah be your father?

    FYI. Each time a comment is posted to a message thread, a notification is sent to anyone who previously was involved with the message including the original poster. Since Mike Mehigan posted his message back in 2013, it is very possible he changed his email address since 2013 and we still have the old email on file.
