Goggin/Cronin in County Cork
I’m looking for information regarding my ancestors who immigrated from Ireland in the early 1850’s and their ancestors. My 2nd great-grandfather was:
Patrick Goggin
BIRTH ABT. 1800 • County Cork, Ireland
DEATH 1857 • Old Town, Penobscot, Maine, US
My 2nd great-grandmother, Patrick’s wife was:
Johannah Cronin
BIRTH ABT. 1805 • County Kerry, Ireland
DEATH 31 DEC 1891 • Orono, Penobscot, Maine, USA
All census information list varying information regarding dates of immigration and ages of all these people. Patrick and Johannah’s children were all born in Ireland before immigrating to the United States. Their names were:
David Goggin
BIRTH: 4 MAY 1845 • County Cork, Ireland
DEATH: 8 MAY 1926 • Orono, Penobscot, Maine, USA
Johannah A Goggin
BIRTH BEF. 27 MAR 1846 • County Cork, Ireland
DEATH 29 OCT 1922 • Orono, Penobscot County, Maine, USA
John Joseph Goggin
BIRTH 7 MAY 1848 • Clountead, Ballingarry and Ballymartle, Cork, Ireland
DEATH 1 JUN 1927 • Orono, Penobscot, Maine, USA
Patrick Charles Goggin
BIRTH 5 JUN 1851 • County Cork, Ireland
DEATH 17 MAY 1928 • Orono, Penobscot, Maine, USA
These people may have entered Canada before coming to the United States, but this is pure speculation on my part. John Joseph Goggin married someone from Chatham, New Brunswick, Canada. Chatham, New Brunswick and Orono, Maine are more than 300 miles apart.
Any information regarding the Goggin and/or the Cronin families in County Cork and County Kerry would be deeply appreciated. I’ve been searching for more than 20 years.
