Hannigan's from Ireland to New Limerick We believe that Owen was born in the Mourneabby Cork Ireland area (Black water district). The first record I have of Owen b1793 is when he married to Annie Hartt b1796 have a son Edward b1833 in Hallowell, Maine. Owen and Annie with family show in the Hallowell census of 1840 and then in the New Limerick, Maine census of 1860. I have records showing Michael b 1815 Ireland marring Ellen Magoun in Hallowell in 1850, Peter marring Ellen cowed 1848, and supposedly moving to Johneville NB Canada. Thomas b1826 it shows marring Mary Hartt b 1840 in 1851 (these dates seem incorrect, and I seem to show children starting 1839), and Edward b1833 marries Elizabeth White b 1838 in 1864 at Woodstock, NB Canada, and they have a son Thomas b 1864 in New Limerick Maine. James and Elizabeth also have a son Bernard Michael 1886 New Limerick who marries Ella Fern Shields, and they move to Denver Colorado, and have a son James Edward b 1919 who marries Dorothy Elizabeth Merritt b1920 in Hodgdon, Maine. James, and Elizabeth have children in Hodgdon Karen Lee 1942, Linda Sue 1947, Diane Marie 1949, and Gregory James 1955. Also I have found records of these other Hannigan's that I suspect are closely related to Owen b1793, James b1820, Catherine b1825, Mary b1835, Bridget b1838, and Charles b1839
