Hello
Searching for deschendents of James Hannigan and Catherine McHale of Ireland. Both were dead before 1861.

I know their sons Michael (b. 1836, married Mary Colleran) and Thomas (b 1837, married Mary Joyce) spent time in Ormskirk, Lancashire prior to emigrating to Philadelphia USA. They were joined by sisters Sarah and Ellen in the USA, who never married. I believe they had a brother James and a sister Anna who married a Grimes. Birth, marriage and death records from Ormskirk provide the various spellings above.
