    According to my research Patrick Nelligan married Mary C. Coppinger 30 October 1889 in Galway.  I have Mary Coppinger mother as Julia Coen (?) and father James Copinger.   They died  in my home town of Bangor, Penobscot County, Maine (USA)  Had sis children one being my father.  I have more information that I am willing to share if you contact me at johnnell79gr@gmail.com   This is our local society  www.pengen.org

    Thanks,

    John Nelligan

    Thank you John Joseph for the welcome to the group.  I am interested in the Nagle Family near Mallow Cork.  Sir Richard Nagle is said to have left Ireland with the Wild Geese and settled in France.  There is also a link to the Coppinger family in Cork and the Nagles.

    Hi,

    yes. There are many variations of my name but mine is the original.

    In ancient Irish it was Mag not Mac meaning son. Eadhagain was any horseman. As there is no h in Irish alphabet the h following the d denotes that the d is pronounced as h. The Ma was dropped some time ago leaving G as the first letter. Hope this is of some use to you
