Hello Where do I have to look to find my great grandmother Elizabeth (ELIZA) CORRIGAN who came to the USA before the IRISH FAMINE of 1846 - I have already checked in the NATIONAL ARCHIVES on IRELAND and did not find her name Thank you

Richard,

Could this be her? 1860 census record:

Hi Richard

              I found you GG grandmothers obit in The Brooklyn Eagle Apr 12, 1897 on Page:7.

https://www.newspapers.com/image/50439997/    I see from your post that you already have this information but in it a mention of Native of Monasterevin, County Kildare, Ireland. 

I located her death Certificate at the following link:

https://a860-historicalvitalrecords.nyc.gov/view/3703521

On it:

Question 2     Age:    Answer   65 Years   10 months    21 days  

Question 8   If of foreign birth how long in the US     Answer   50 years 

Question 9   How long a resident of the city?           Answer   10 years.

So, with the above information her birth would be May 23, 1831

Immigration year 1847

Resident of the City since 1887 

Monasterevin is a Catholic Parish in Co. Kildare, on Roots Ireland    https://www.rootsireland.ie/

It has a list of births for this parish:

8 matches for the search criteria: Corrigan (plus variants) 1821-1841 Parish: MONASTEREVIN (RC)    

There is no listing for Elizabeth or Bridget Corrigan in their records. I also accessed the parish NLI records to see if some damage may have occurred to the record or perhaps some missing pages, but everything appears to be OK. A link to the record at NLI
