berthabuns — 2014-10-23 22:41:38Z

MY mother's grandfather was john Daniel Hourigan from Indiana
Charles was my mother's uncle.
his sister Eva Hourigan was my grandmother
Looks like john Daniel Hourigan was married several times.
His first wife was Lydia Flagg
who gave birth to Charles and Eva, it was said she died in childbirth about
1897.
The other children were from Nora Lynch. so Charles and Robert were step brothers.
then NORA and john got divorced and he married another woman when he was older,
in California, They had a daughter I think her names was ages, she never married.

Hi there!
I am the granddaughter of Charles Hourigan, Robert's only brother. Yes your grandfather was born in Indiana to John Hourigan and Nora Lynch-Hourigan. Please let me know if you have any questions! I think this makes me sort of a cousin of yours haha.

Bridget Hourigan b 1837 in Cavan County Ireland

websterfarm — 2013-05-28 06:04:49Z

Bridget is the daughter of William? Information I have states that William's wife died at birth of Bridget or shortly after. Bridget immigrated to the US and married Daniel Gallagher around 1865 in Boston or they married in Cavan County - both were from the same area. Looking for information on both lineages.

Thanks,Anne

Daniel Hourigan

ov10fac1 — 2012-04-02 15:21:22Z

I am also looking for my Hourigan roots. Specifically Daniel Hourigan. He appears to have been born in 1948 in Ireland and married a Mary Conic borne in England in 1952. That's about all I know at this time. I have the names of children, Mary, Minnie, Alace or Alice, Ella, Daniel and John.

I need to drive back to see some relatives anyway so will probably check out local records. But if anyone here has any ideas on the specifics, especially Daniel's ancestors in Ireland I would be very appreciative.

Many thansk.

Re: John and daughter Sarah Hourigan

LBerres7666 — 2011-02-25 15:07:42Z

Was her birthdate 1834? She would have married Matthias Lezotte and moved to Wisconsin in 1865 with 5 children.

Re: is there any hourigans outside of ireland?????

brissiemum2 — 2010-05-02 08:12:13Z

There are Hourigans in Queensland. Not a direct descendant of mine but married into my tree, in a couple of places. There were quite a few around Gympie during gold mining times.

Re: Hourigan Cemetery at Haysville, Marion County, Kentucky

CarolynWilliams17 — 2011-12-24 16:52:39Z

I don't have information on Robert or any of Cleaver and Frances Hourigan's children, but I do have info on Cleaver. He was the son of Samuel Tilden Hourigan and Mattie Powars. Cleaver was born May 8, 1912 in Marion County. The family lived first near Gravel Switch and later in Lebanon. Samuel Tilden Hourigan (my great uncle) was born July 29, 1876 and died May 10, 1959. Mattie Powars Hourigan was born March 11, 1888, and died Jan. 21, 1972. They are both buried in the Hourigan Cemetery behind Beech Fork Baptist Church in Gravel Switch. For more information on the Hourigan Family, see my database on Rootsweb, CWAncestors. I remember "Uncle Sam" well -- he was born near the country's 100th birthday and the whole family knew him as Uncle Sam. Even his mailbox was designed as "Uncle Sam."

Oswego Hourigans

Marlene2012 — 2010-05-10 22:33:18Z

I am hoping someone can help me. I am trying to confirm that the mother of Charles L. Brown (1912-1955) was Mary Hourigan Raleigh Brown, born in May of 1871 in NY to Daniel and Mary Hourigan of Oswego. It looks like her first husband, John Raleigh died young leaving her with 4 children: May, Harold, Alice and Rowan. If this Mary married 2nd Francis "Frank" Brown of Syracuse and had 4 more children: Francis, Fred, Charles & Marion, does anyone know if her father Daniel, was the one who worked on the ships? Also, if anyone connects to her, do you know anything about Frank Brown or what happened to John Raleigh? Thanks in advance!

Hello John, I have a Dennis Hourigan from Lattin Clare Born about 1835 and married honora Broderick. They settled in Geelong. Victoria, and Denis gives his parents as a Richard and Winifred, nee Obrien. Any connections? Louise

Re: HOURIGANS

jlhourigan — 2009-08-17 06:14:22Z

Thank you for your contact. Unfortunately there is no connection to the O'Briens. My ancestors did not come to Australia until late 1870s.
Incidently Lattin is in Co Tipperary not Co Clare. There may be a place called Latten in Co Clare.
Thanks again
John Hourigan

Re: is there any hourigans outside of ireland?????

RitaB116 — 2009-06-11 19:24:36Z

Yes, there are lots of Hourigans in the United States. My mother's maiden name is Hourigan. Who are you looking for?

Re: Oswego Hourigans

ov10fac1 — 2011-05-29 05:40:39Z

Did you ever get any responses to your request? My research pretty much verifies what you have found so far. Mary was my Great Grand Mother, and John my Great Grand Father. I have tried to trace them back further, I have found Mary's parents (Daniel Hourigan and Mary Conic from Ireland and England respectively). Daniels parents were Daniel and Mary again, but I have absolutely no other information.

So if you have found anything I would like to hear. We are planning a trip to Ireland in the next year or two so would like to have some information so we can go look things up while we are there.

My father Dick, and I am Katie. I haven't seen my many relatives' - beautiful Irish faces - in a long time and miss them dearly.

Re: HOURIGANS

jlhourigan — 2008-09-01 11:47:19Z

I am reserching a John Hourigan who married Margaret Hayes in 1850 in Lattin, South Tipperary They had 14 children, one of whom was John Hourigan born/baptised on 4/8/1851. Four of the children came to Australia in the late 1870s - John wasn't one of them. I've been able to trace the 4 who came here but I have only started research in Ireland for the rest of the family.
Good luck
