According to documents our Thomas Hartigan says he was from Co Clare
We do not have a birth year but think it would be about 1844.
His date of arrival in New Zealand would be about 1869.
He married in New Zealand.
Does anyone with a Hartigan connection have a Thomas that disappears in
the 1860s from Co Clare.
A possibility that these names may be linked to his Clare family - Margaret,Martin and Thomas.
Hopefully someone out there maybe able to get me on the right track .
Thanks

Hello Terese
This will probably not be who you are looking for, but it appears on the end of a page of baptisms for my Harris family that was kindly obtained by Christopher (on this site) from Kilrush parish church of St Senans, Kilrush, County Clare.
Hartigan Sinon parents William Cath Foley 23/ll/1839 page 153
Hartigan Nora parents Richard Mary Sheahan 6/7/1830 page 53
As I said, probably not what you are looking for but I couldn't keep it to myself gathering dust !

Thanks for taking the time to try and help, Carol.
I will keep the info just in case it does fit the puzzle
at some stage.
Good luck with your research.

My great-great-grandfather was:
Michael Hartigan born: approx 1839, presumably in Parteen, Co. Clare
married:
Norha Kain born: approx 1843
both in Co. Clare, Ireland
Their son, Martin Hartigan born 1865, definitely Parteen, Co. Clare, came to New Zealand and married approx 1902 to Mary Ellen Murphy.
Martin Hartigan born: 1865 as above
died: 10 Jan 1914
Dyerville, Martinborough, New Zealand
married in 1902
Ellen Mary Murphy born: 1881, unknown birth place, presumably Ireland, she married an O'Farrell, next Martin Hartigan, in:
Ohau, Southland, New Zealand
they had three children, but I only know of my grandfather who was:
Martin John Hartigan born 1907 died 1984
married to
Mary Ellen Lundon born 1904 died 1988
they had three children:
The trouble I have with the Hartigan's in NZ is I don't think the place of marriage for Murphy to Hartigan is correct. I believe there were 2 Hartigan family's in NZ around this time, one in Ohau and the other my direct line. If there is a connection, possibly brothers.
I believe that there is a Patrick Hartigan, elder brother to Martin who emigrated to Australia from Parteen at around the same time. Bit of a coincidence if unrelated given dates and that Parteen was not a huge place such as Dublin. I have no details on the Hartigan's in Ohau or South Island of NZ - nor do I have contacts on the Patrick Hartigan line to Australia.
Hope this information is at least a little useful, good luck and look forward to hearing what you think,

Do you know for definite when Thomas left Ireland? I ask that because there were four Hartigans on board the Schooner Joseph R Prim which sailed from Limerick (Ireland) to New York on 11 July 1848. The three Hartigans were Mary age 30, Patrick age 6 and Thomas 4 and John, an infant. This Thomas Hartigan would have been born c. 1844 - which is more or less when your Thomas was born.
Cheers

Thank you for your info LH.
Our Thomas Hartigan came to New Zealand in the 1860s. This is just an
aproximate date .

Hi Therese,
Did you ever get to the bottom of this..
Also I see you said you had info on the Parteen Hartigans??
I ask because I also stem from this family and actually still live not far from Parteen. Apparently much
of the family records were lost in a fire but being honest I haven't researched too far into this but I plan to do so in the future.
I stumbled across this page randomly while looking at the history of parteen and it's houses/buildings for my history society in college.
Anyways, any info you have I would would be most grateful for.

Hi. I can't help with Thomas Hartigan but in the replies you've received Thomas & Martin seem linked and I have a tree set up in Ancestry.co tracking Martin Hartigan in Southland, NZ (Married to Agnes Highton). His lineage forward to current day is: Martin had James (Jim), Sabina (Syb) & William (Max). I'm Max's son born in NZ now living in Vancouver Canada. My tree goes back further with Agnes Highton but I have nothing earlier than Martin who died in 1956.

Hi

Can you help with more info please

Hartigans of Dunnstown, Victoria
The grave inscription for a Martin Hartigan buried in Ballarat, Victoria records that he died 16 Dec 1906, aged 63; Native of Bridgetown, Co. Clare. His wife Mary Maloney was a Native of Limerick (1845-1920 Dunnstown).
This may help in discussion.
