I posted a question about the Dignan (sometimes spelled Duignan) family from Loughrea a few years ago. I am wondering if I could try it again and see if this family might be in the 1821 census. I believe there is a fragment of this census available.
Peter Dignan, son of Patrick Dignan, was born around 1790 and  married Margaret Lynch around 1810 or so. I can find several of their children including Mary born in 1811, Patrick born in 1814, James born in 1816, Bridget born in 1818 and Peter born in 1820. There is also a daughter Margaret but I couldn't find her baptism. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Hi Alison,

    Thanks for your message. Catholic baptismal records for the parish start as early as 1810 so if Margaret was baptised in the parish there should be a record of it.

    As you can see from the above link there are copies available from the East Galway Family History Society. Here is their email:

    Alternatively you could try contacting the local parish priest for some possible assistance.

  • Hi Pamela.

    I've never heard of "Great Crosby House Lancshire", but I typed the following into Google: "Head of the Great Crosby House Lancshire", and got several references to "Great Crosby" a town in Lancashire, England.  There is also a Widipedia page describing it, as well as, a UK GenWeb page: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/GreatCrosby/

     

    Do you have any dates/locations where Patrick Dignan (the son) and Alice Farley got married?  Do you know when they might have come to the US?  That might help in doing some searching on that couple.
