Anyone know of anything about my family?
I have traced my family back to Philip Garrigan, born 1765 in Co. Meath and died in Carbury, Co. Kildare, in 1859 at 94 years.
I know he has a son, Matthew Garrigan in 1790, Smithstown, Co. Meath, and died in 1849,Smithstown, Co. Meath. Married Anne Skelly, born 1783, in Ireland They had oneson Patrick S. Garrigan, born 1835 in Ireland. Both Anne and Patrick moved to the USA. Patrick is my 3rdGreatGrandfather.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
There are actually three Smithstown in Co. Meath.
I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find a baptismal record for Patrick or the marriage of Matthew and Anne Skelly. I found an 1828 baptismal record for a Mary Gargan in the Kilskyre/Ballinlough RC parish. Also located a baptismal record for a Bridget Gargan, however, the mother was shown as Mary Kelly. Here is a link to the parish register for Kilskyre/Ballinlough. You may want to scan the register for Patrick's record. https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0907
