THOMAS & ANNE HUGGINS nee LAING / MARY ANNE JOHNSTON nee SKERRIT LAING.
Another Huggins family in Co Cavan Ireland.
Just had a look at the map of Ireland. THOMAS HUGGINS born 1820, father ANDREW HUGGINS.
Yes, we do have two Thomas`s with father Andrew Huggins, one born in 1820 another 1825. Just to send you nuts.
Seems Tonaloy, Cavan where Thomas HUGGINS BORN 1820, was living when he married ANN LAING in 1847, is on the same road, half way between Newtowngore, Liet. and Killeshandra, Cavan. Carrigallen Leit. is across and down from Killesandra, Cavan, so all not far away as the crow flies.
THOMAS HUGGINS born 1820, father ANDREW HUGGINS.
Died July/Sept 1885, age 65.
Married 15 April 1847, Killeshandra, Cavan, Ire. Civil Registration Index, Cavan.
Groom 27 yrs, bride 25 yrs.
Wife; ANNE LAING , born 1822.
Father Edward LAING.
Anne`s sister Mary, witness at wedding.
I think this is her sister?
MARY ANNE SKERRIT LAING married 1856 Cavan. Also on IGI as
MARY ANNE LAING SKERRIT married 1856 Cavan.
Father John SKERRIT.
Maybe Mary`s mother remarried as Anne`s father`s name is given as Edward Laing.
IGI has a JOHN SKERRIT born 1805, death 1870, Tullamore.
Don`t ask me where Tullamore is?
MARY ANNE LAING born 1821, married 2 Sept 1856, age 35.
Templeport, Cavan IRE.
Husband, WILLIAM JOHNSTON born 1826, age 30,
father, ROBERT JOHNSTON.
There is an ANN HUGGINS who died 1 Feb 1852, age 28, Killeshandra, Cavan, born 1824.
If this Anne is Thomas Huggins wife, then they had only been married a few years before she died, age 28 and Thomas`s death was in 1885, age 65. So Thomas could have remarried?
Could Thomas born 1820 be the Thomas born 1825 who married FANNY WILSON in 1862 at Carrigallen, Leit, age 37? Date of birth came from age given at time of marriage because don`t have a date of death, or do we?
THOMAS born 1820, marriage age works out, date of death is correct for 1820.
Maybe Thomas born 1825, told a little white lie because his bride Fanny Wilson was only 25 and he was 42, not 37.
Thomas and Fanny 5 children were born between 1868 and 1872 and THOMAS who married Ann Laing didn`t die until 1885.
No proof, but the two Thomas`s, could be one.
Thomas & Fanny Huggins known family tree, already on this site.
We are starting to build up a bit of a connection but still more Huggins families to look at.
Sweet dreams,
Sue.
