Simon Corcoran

CorkMurragh (Cork)

Please help me find birth/baptism info for Simon Corcoran, born 1811.  Emigrated to United States through New York and settled in Wisconsin.  Married Johannah, also probably from Murragh.  Johannah was born in 1813.  Would like to know the names of Simon's and Johannah's parents.  Thank you!

Do you know the name of his first born son?

I believe the name of Simon's first-born son was Daniel.  He was born in New York in 1841.

Chances are his father was Daniel. Did you post the information on this site about the Corcorans. They are my family and I have quite a lot of information about them. You are unlikely to find Simon's birth records. I do know that the family used Kilmurry and Bandon Churches before the churches at templemartin and newcestown were built. How are you connected to them.

I am Simon's great-great granddaughter.  I have not posted any info about the Corcoran family beyond my initial request.

I am Simon Corcoran's great great granddaughter. Simon Corcoran married Johannah and immigrated to the US, ending up in Wisconsin. Simon and Johannah had 1 son, Daniel.

Daniel and Mary (Cross) Corcoran had children, my grandfather was Ivan Simon, who was one of Daniels sons. I never met Ivan, he passed away before I was born but my oldest sister met him as a baby. Ivan and Maude Corcoran had 3 children: Patricia, Mary Belle and James Ivan Corcoran, who was my dad.

Hi Cathleen. My name is Margaret Corcoran Marshall. I live in Milwaukee and I am the great granddaughter of Daniel Bernard Corcoran and Mary Cross. My grandfather was his eldest son, Daniel Corcoran, and Ivan’s brother. I was looking for the same info on Simon and Johanna. As you probably know, they are buried in St. Francis de Borgia Cemetery in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. 

I never met great uncle Ivan but I remember my Dad (Daniel) and is brothers telling stories about his adventures and implying he was quite a character. He fought in World War I, I believe in France.
