Hi - I'm trying to unravel a tangle of Huggards in the early 1800s. Apparently there are three branches of Huggards in Kerry, one on each peninsula - mine are the Clahane (Annagh parish?) Huggards, which is sometimes confused with Cloghane, where there seem to be another branch of Huggards. I have a William (son of Martin of Clahane) Huggard, born around 1820, married Eleanor Woods 1840 in Westport Church. They were Church of Ireland or Methodist. He was an Inland Revenue Officer/merchant - moved around a bit. There are several Martins and Williams in all of the Huggard branches and if anyone has any clue as to how to untangle them I'd be forever grateful!! :D
Thanks

I was just researching Huggards and I came across your note. I am totally new to this site but my great grandmother was Kate Huggard from Clahane and her father was Richard Huggard and wife Hanora Reidy according to the marriage certificate. I think Kate was one of 10 kids. I have a picture of a Huggard farm in Clahane and a family tree. The weird thing is the tree says descendants of Thomas Huggard and Margaret Reidy which contradicts the marriage certificate. I don't know if this is the same family as yours?

Hi Irisheyes
Welcome to Rootschat! I have lots of information on Huggards in Kerry. My ancestor is Martin Huggard of Clahane, who had a son, William, who I am descended from. He also had sons called Richard and Stephen, and there is definitely a Thomas somewhere. I do know there are a couple of Richard Huggards around that area, at that time, which is causing some confusion! I am happy to email you a descendants list of my Huggards if you can PM me your email address (don't post it on this forum because of spam etc.) . You will not be able to send or receive PMs until you have made 3 posts I think, so if you reply to this message a couple of times I think that will sort it.
Looking forward to hearing from you :)

HI, I also noticed you mentioned something about a Ballyseedy cemetery having Huggards in it, have you found out anything more? I don't know where my great grandmother is buried although she and my great grandfather raised my grandmother in dingle so maybe she is there?

Hi Irisheyes
I have not found graves of my Huggards in Kerry as yet, although Ballyseedy does have some other names connected to me. I also have connections to Dingle so maybe our Huggards are connected!

Are these the same Huggards that connect to Elizabeth Huggard who married Joseph O'Neill (Neale) of Killeenafinane, Castlemaine?
I am interested in tracing these and their family - children, parents etc....
Many thanks
Denis

I have recently started to trace my Huggard heritage, and can go back to Richard Huggard (b 1818) who was originally from Tralee. According to the 1851 New Brunswick census, he arrived in 1847 and was, I think, a carpenter (that writing is hard to read). His wife Mary followed in 1850, and first son, Joseph, seems to have come a year later.
Any tips you might have for how to dig deeper into the family roots would be appreciated!
