Notes for Thomas F. HANNIGAN

George Miller recalled that Thomas Hannigan lived in New York City, New York, and was a fireman. In a 1997 telephone conversation, Madeline Brett recalled that the brother of Thomas Hannigan was named Roger Hannigan, who had a son named George Hannigan, who was a little younger than she was. Both Roger and George Hannigan lived in New York and worked for the telephone company.

The New York City Directory for 1890 on the internet in 1999 from http://www.ancestry.com shows a Thomas Hannigan, a fireman, living at 928 Second Av, New York City. This is very possibly the correct person.
