I have a Patrick Carrigan probably born around the same time. Maybe Brother\Sister? Anyway
- he also was in Pictou, but I have not been able to determine if he was born there or
Ireland. I can trace my family back to him, but little else.
I have found a ships list carrying a James Carrigan from Ireland to this neck of the woods
along with a wife, Mary. The ship was the "Zephyr" out of Donegal - I think. It
was destined for Saint John, New Brunswick; but I cannot yet tell if the departed sooner.
James Carrigan is also listed [along with Patrick's family] in the 1871 Pictou County
online census - although not together. However, James' age is good to be Patrick's
father etc, which is why I believe they are connected.
If you think your Ann and my Patrick do connect somehow - let me know and I fill you in on
the little bit I have on Patrick.
