Hi Mary Lou,
Good to hear from you. I have been searching for more info on the Derrigs and Morans.
You asked if I knew when William Derrig arrived in USA. I don't know. William
married Sarah McGuire O'Maley b. 1805, sister to James McGuire, my gggrandfather.
Sarah's first husband James O'Maley died, according to what I was told by family,
about 1842 at sea. He had left Sarah and was going to send for her later. Family info
left to me states that Sarah arrived USA in 1844.
My McGuire's and O'Maley's have also lived in Liverpool, England for a time
prior to coming to the US. My gggrandfather James McGuire born Westport, County Mayo,
Ireland married Bridget Moran, born Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland and they married in
Liverpool, England in 1843, do have copy of marriage entry. Three of there children died
while they lived in Liverpool.
Am interested in your Julia Moran wife of Patrick Derrig. Do you have a date of birth for
Julia or any other information such as where she was born?
