Corrigan - Goodlatte Family Tree

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried looking into Church records in Dungannon for information? Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Dungannon parish follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Tyrone&parish=Dungannon&churchid=214

For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. 

Family Search have a larger number of records available online also, you may be lucky and find one belonging to either family here: www.familysearch.org

Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so you may be able to find Thomas? death certificate in these records if he died after this date. Unfortunately, date of birth was not always given on the death record in the early days of civil registration, however an age at time of death will be listed which should help narrow down a DOB for Thomas. Civil registration records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these registers online at:

You could also try looking for the Corrigans and Goodlattes in Griffith?s Valuation. This is a property valuation survey that was carried out in Ireland 1848-1864. You can search this online here:

You may also want to check the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were any family still in the area at the time. You can search these here:

Hi Richard,

I think Charlotte is the daughter of David Richardson Goodlatte and Amelia Harpur. Born in Salem Lodge Moy co tyrone.

I am researching my family at the minute my great great grandmother was Davids sister Margaret they were gentry and I think I have traced them back to the 1600's when they married into the Richarson family who descended from Lord Erskine

Hello,

I was looking at this message board again (after a long absence) and noticed your post. It would appear that, for some reason, I did not respond at the time. Please accept my sincere apology.

I believe that I am a descendant of David Goodlatte and Amelia Harpur. I am very interested in your research tracing the family back to the Richardson tree and Lord Erskine. I would be very appreciative if you are able to share details of that lineage. If it is more convenient for you, my e-mail address is: mikecorrigan00@gmail.com

Kind regards.

Mike Corrigan
