Seeking Inormation

Hi there,

I'm afriad I cannot give you a direct answer in relation to Catherines parents (I remember coming across that article a few years ago), but i can give you same names that may help you piece the jigsaw together.

The parish of Kiltullagh Killimordaly is fortunate to have the 1821 Census, one of a handful that survived. There is one Kindrigan family named on it in the townland of Carakeel, which is now spelt Carrowkeel it runs along to Bookeen which would join up with Dunsandle and the parish of Kilconieran on its doorstep.

I have records here that spell Kendrigan as Kindrigan, Kindreagan and Kindregan.

Hello,

My surname is Kindregan. I am currently researching family tree.

If you find any additional information I would be most grateful.

I found this,, I know this site isn't exactly reliable but it's from an exert of local loughrea history book

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Kendrigan

If you can access the British newspapers, there are several articles about Catherine's murder. When he was found guily John Hurley declared that he would have satisfaction of the jury and the prosecutors "either in this world or the next". However before he was hung at Galway he acknowledged his guilt and apoligised for his comments at the trial and asked the people to pray for him.

If you cannot access the newspapers let me know and i will try to attach a copy.

Good luck with researching your side of the family.

Regards

Kendop
