More on Edward Anderson and the Andersons

Edward Anderson was the son of Patrick Anderson and Bridget Mc Hugh of Labasheeda, Co. Clare, Ireland.

Patrick Anderson and Bridget McHugh

Note: Their names are from the marriage license of Edward Anderson and from Bridget Anderson's immigration.

Birth of Patrick Anderson: Circa 1848 (1901 Irish Census)

Patrick Anderson was from King's Co. - now known as Co. Offaly. (Annemarie Smith Greene, December 2007)

Birth of Bridget Mc Hugh: Circa 1858 (1901 Irish Census)

Marriage:

Residence: Labasheeda, Co. Clare Ireland.

Labasheeda (Leaba Sh’oda) is a village in the parish of Killofin, barony of Clonderalaw, Co. Clare, Munster. LDS does not list records.

Occupation: Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC). Joined in 1869 at age 22 (Annemarie Smith Greene, December 2007)

"I received Patrick Anderson's full RIC record. He and Bridget McHugh were married May 5, 1877 - it doesn't state where, but I'm assuming Mayo. He was assigned to the RIC in Mayo April 17, 1870 and then transferred to Clare on Oct 1, 1877. He retired on Feb 1, 1901. The record also suggests that his father might have been an RIC member as well. The RIC had a height requirement of 5'9, and only sons of RIC members were admitted if they fell below this requirement. (Patrick was 5'7 3/4 inches)"

7. John

   Additional Information from Annemaried Green: I also recently made contact with a girl in Co. Clare, Ireland ho is indirectly related to the Culligan side of my family. She mentioned that John Anderson (the only one I know for sure stayed in Ireland) was married and had at least 1 son. She said that John Anderson was her grandmother's teacher in either Labasheeda or Lakyle, and that her grandfather was friendly with him as well. He later moved away from Labasheeda and the families lost touch.

My mother did not know of Jane, Alice or Annie Anderson. John was a teacher in Ireland, and came once for a visit before WWII. She remembers meeting him and Aunt Bea making a big fuss about his visit.

Aunt Rebecca was not married while living in the US, but rumored to have left a husband in Ireland.....

Aunt Bea was Veroncia McGuire Kennedy's mother. Veronica is currently over 80 years old and lives in Rockaway, NY. I don't know about any of Veronica's siblings.

1880

"My Great Grandmother was Mary Kate Anderson Culligan from Labasheeba, Co. Clare. Eddie Anderson was her brother. My Grandmother was Mary Kate's oldest daughter Mary Culligan Lavery, and my mother is her oldest daughter, Eileen Lavery Smith (age 75)."

"My mother went through some old papers and photos the other day and found the prayer card from Eddie Anderson's funeral with a date of Oct. 25, 1946 and a photo of Eddie Anderson's family dated Jun 1936 with Helen, Eddie, Irene, Alice, Joseph and Margaret."

Annemarie Green (January 2008)

Because of certain laws, I can only access New York City records up to 1910 for birth and the early 1930s for marriages and deaths. Consequently, I can only track the children of Joseph Walsh and Maggie Langan so far. Complicating this problem is the fact that Walsh was a very common name in the city.
