HANNIGAN, Mary

   Other names for Mary were HANAGAN, Mary and HANNAGAN, Mary.⁴

  General Notes:

The birth date for Mary is taken from the index of Roman Catholic registers of births and baptisms published online in Scotland's People. No Christian name is listed there but information from other sources, eg census, strongly suggests the child was Mary Hannigan, no other children of William Hannigan and Isabella being known apart from Ellen. ³

Mary married William WATSON on 15 Jul 1864 in St Mary's RC Church, Abercromby Street, Calton, Glasgow, Scotland. (William WATSON was born about 1840 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland and died before 17 Dec 1909.)

Mary next married Sarah CURRAN.^{1 2} (Sarah CURRAN was born about 1850.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Sir Adam More, who, 'in his father's auld age,' had the management of all his affairs, both private and public, considerably enlarged and improved the estate. He married, in his younger years, Janet Mure, heiress of Polkellie, granddaughter of Ranald More, and thus restored that estate to the family. By this marriage he had two sons, Sir Adam, his successor, and Andrew, and a daughter, Elizabeth, married in 1348, to Robert, the high steward, afterwards King Robert II.

She was a lady of great beauty and rare virtues, and attracted the high steward's regard in his younger years when living in concealment about Dundonald castle during Edward Baliol's usurpation."

from The Mures of Rowallan




"Sir Adam is said to have married Janet Mure, grand-daughter of Ronald More, heiress of Polkellie, by which the latter estate was rejoined to Rowallan"
