Hartigan

LimerickColmanswell (Limerick)

My name is Patti Hartigan and my grandfather was Daniel Hartigan (born 27/2/1879,died 19/1/1946). His father was Luke Hartigan (mother Catherine Coll).

Iknow Luke & Catherine married on 8/2/1876 inthe parish of Dromin (Catherine's Coll family are from that parish).

Luke & Catherine lived at Fort and had children: Cornelius, Patrick, Owen, Daniel, Sarah, Maude, Lizzie (who was the last born in about 1885).

I have no date of birth/baptism or date of death foe Luke and have no details of his parents. His marriage records only gives his father's name as Hartigan.

I've visited the graveyard at Colmanswell but couldn't find anything there.

There are a number of Luke Hartigans all from the area but I'm assuming the first born son is named after the paternal father, so Luke's father should be a Cornelius Hartigan. I do know that Luke was born at Fort (from one of his children's birth records).

Luke must have died between 1885 and 1891 (Lizzie's DOB and date of Guys Directory shows a Mrs LC Hartigan farming as a widow).

Patti:

I think Luke died in 1887. See index record below. There was also a Luke Hartigan born 1835 and died 1885 and a Luke Hartigan born 1812 died 1892. ( I can send those records to you if you want a copy). The 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing shows three David Hartigans and two Luke Hartigans in Colmanswell parish. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/limerick/colmanswell.htm

Since the Hartigans in 1901 lived in Fort Middle townland, I'm wondering if David Hartigan in 1850 Griffiths listed in Fort Middle is the father of Luke. ( I know none of Luke's sons was a David).

Thank you Stephen for all your help, very much appreciated.

I discovered very recently that Luke Hartigan's father was Cornelius Hartigan and then I was able to trace him to the 1827/37 land survey. This shows a Cornelius Hartigan farming 170 acres at Garrane. I had to look that up on the map and was surprised to see that it sits adjacent to the area of Fort. By the time of the Griffiths Valuation, there is 170 acres being farmed by a Margaret Hartigan (widow) in Garrane. As Luke's first born son was named Cornelius I've always believed that Luke's father would be a Cornelius but it's taken years to find any evidence of him. Luke's marriage certificate shows his deceased father as Cornelius. 

Beyond that I can't trace anything else about Cornelius and Margaret Hartigan, understandable given the records are so rare for this time. But I suspect their parish church would have been Rockhill. My knowledge of the geography is limited to family memories, a couple of visits and old maps online. 

I have tried to trace the area of Parkroo, but this seems to be an old area no longer recognised. 

I have assumed that the Hartigans that farmed at Fort (East, Middle & West) must have been related, but no evidence to date. I've visited two Fort residences, one was farmed by David Hartigan and the other (a black and white house) was farmed by Luke Hartigan (my ggf).

Hello

I have just finished a little book where I have been researching some of the Coll families from Co Limerick and their connection to Eamon Devalera's Coll family.  While I was researching I found some interesting information about Patrick Hartigan (son of Luke Hartigan and Catherine Coll) who became a famous pioneer film director in Hollywood during the silent movie era.  Here is the link if you are interested:

Hope this is of interest,
