John Liggett, Jane Barr; James LIggett, Isabella Ellison

Tyrone

I amlooking for and descendants of or people who have any information on the family of John Liggett (1811 - 1869) and his wife Jane Barr (1820 - 1862) who farmed in Altanaveragh, (Killyfaddy or Fintona), Tyrone. All of their children except the eldest, James (1840 - 1874) and the youngest, Mary (b. 1860) emmigrated to the USA when their parents died. I have always wondered if Mary stayed in Ireland with her eldest brother and if there are still descendants of these people still alive.

I will be visiting Northern Ireland to visit ancestral land in Drumduff and AltanaverahSep 22 and 23, 2018 and would love to meet with anyone who can help me prepare for a record search at PRONI on Sep 24 and 25, 2018.

Anne,

I should be able to meet you in PRONI on 24th September, if you wish. I am not free on 25th as I will be in Munich that day. E-mail me on Ahoghill@irelandxo.com and we can discuss the details.

Remember to bring your passport or other photo ID to PRONI to get your readers ticket.

Wondering what you found,  I too descend from the LIggetts and had a photo of the family farm at Altanaveragh
