Westmeath / Re: Carrigys of Ballynacarrigy
« on: Wednesday 13 August 14 07:22 BST (UK) »
I have just uploaded a photo of my great grandfather, Richard Carrigy, formerly of Westmeath, latterly of Nangana Victoria, Australia. The photo seems to have been cut from a larger one. I was just wandering if it was part of a larger Carrigy photo someone may have. Here's hoping. Rosemary

Johnny Carrigy (John Curtain Carrigy, named after one of your prime ministers) very sadly passed away a couple of years ago. I don't think he was even sixty. he was an extremely popular person and very interested in family history. I'm sure this is the one you mean as he and his brothers and their children are the only Carrigys in Australia from what I can gather.

i was wondering if their are any mention of any Fitzsimmons on that family tree

Thanks Niamh. My Dad doesn't know much as it seemed that once the family hit Australia they left all memory of Ireland behind and didn't want to mention it. My Dad is however trying to remember as much as he can. I'm giving him some ginko to help spur him on.

John,
My gr grandfather's name was Richard Carrigy. He married Annie Fitzsimmons who lived nearby. Perhaps some of the other family members married into the Fitzsimmons as was common then. They had three children - *. My Dad is in hospital at the moment but when he is feeling up to it I'll ask him for some more information.
Rosemary
PS - I have 'photo' of Richard somewhere - more hand drawn likeness than photo actually.

« on: Sunday 28 December 08 07:22 GMT (UK) »My Grandmother was Margaret Carrigy born around 1896 around Ballynacarrigy. Her mother's name was Ann. She had many sisters and brothers - two were called Molly and Lily. Can anyone supply any information please?
Just wandering if perhaps you can help me. My Grandmother was Rose Carrigy, born in Australia in 1894 to Richard and Annie (nee Fitzsimmons) Carrigy. Richard could have been your grandmothers uncle or older brother as there are so many children. Both grans parents were born in Westmeath. I know that Richard Carrigy was an extremely fine horse man and had a brother called John who immigrated to USA. Have you found any more about your grandmother's family?
