Slater's directory of 1846 shows a few Hourigan listings as boot & shoe makers in Nenagh that might be related - including what looks like the other Nicholas at Silver St from Griffiths

see Nenagh page 1 page 2 page 3

The two bootmakers are on the left of the 2nd page.

Shane and annclare,

Thank you for the time taken to search and suggest possibilities. I'll definitely follow up on  Killoloe Parish and the Slater records or newspaper items. I never considered the possibility of his priesthood being outside the Nenagh area. These Slater news items appear to be a gem for anyone researching Nenagh or perhaps other areas. I apologize if I have misspelled the parish name. It' new to me and I didn't take note of the spelling before writing this. Many many thanks!

Shane and annclare,

Yes, Rev. Nicholas Hourigan was in Killaloe Parish in Shinrone! This parish seems closely connected to North Tipperary because in addition to Shinrone the 1838 Catholic Directory also lists parish priests from Nenagh and Roscrea. He was appointed to a church in Birr, County Offaly in 1825 which also is in the Killaloe Parish which also is a part of County Tipperary. He was, based on this, probably born about 1800 and so far I haven't found any baptisms for North County Tipperary during this time. I hope I have my thinking cap on straight with all this. Again and again..........many many thanks!
