Coll
My Name is Patti Hartigan and I'm looking to link up with the Coll family that used to live at Maindstone Castle, Dromin.
My great grandmother was Catherine Coll. I know she married Luke Hartigan on 8/2/1876 at Dromin when she was 31. She died in Crosshaven Co. Cork 9/8/1904 age 59. The Luke/Catherine family lived & farmed at Fort (over near Charleville) where the Hartigans farmed for generations.
I have no birth details for Catherine, but her son Daniel lived with the Colls at Maidstone Castle after her death and I know he had Coll cousins Robert, Patrick and Owen Coll. A search of Dromin church records did not come up with Catherine's birth/baptism.
Catherine & Luke had children: Cornelius, Patrick, Owen, Daniel, Sarah, Maude, Lizzie.
If the second son is named after the maternal father then I've assumed Catherine's father was Patrick Coll.
Larry Roche was also a cousin of Daniel Hartigan, who is my grandfather. When I visited DrominI was able to meet with a fabulous lady who was best friends with Larry's daughter. Through her I was able to purchase several copies of Larry's book about Dromin. It's a great read.
So any help with the Colls would be greatly appreciated.
