The Dorgan Family Records Archive is the evidence center of the Dorgan Family website. It brings together census records, parish registers, land records, maps, photographs, cemetery images, civil records, newspaper items, and source materials used to reconstruct the history of the Dorgan, Dargan, and related East Cork family lines.
How to Use This Records Archive
This page gathers the main records used throughout the Dorgan Family Archive. The records are organized by family group, place, record type, and research purpose so visitors can follow the evidence from East Cork parish registers and land records to later census, emigration, Rhode Island, and American family records.
Some entries are direct evidence for the Carrigkilter Dorgan / Dargan family line. Other entries are related East Cork records that may help explain nearby families, witnesses, sponsors, marriage connections, landholding patterns, possible related branches, and later family evidence.
Each record should be read together with the related family narratives, place pages, maps, photographs, and research cautions elsewhere in the archive.
These featured entries connect individual records to people, places, dates, filenames, folders, and research notes. More records can be added as the archive grows.

Evidence Status Guide
Records in this archive may have different levels of certainty.
Confirmed evidence means the record directly supports a known person, family relationship, place, or event.
Supporting evidence means the record helps explain the wider context, such as a nearby place, repeated surname, sponsor, witness, neighbor, landholder, or related family branch.
Candidate evidence means the record may connect to the family but has not yet been proven. Candidate records are preserved because they may become important when compared with other records.
Comparison evidence means the record may belong to a nearby or possibly related family branch. These records are useful for research, but they should not be merged into the main family line unless stronger evidence supports the connection.
Catholic Parish Register · 1817
Person: Johanna Flynn
Place: Aghada / Ballyandreen / Ballycotton area, East Cork
Record type: Catholic baptism register
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This record may help connect Johanna Flynn to the wider Flynn, Barry, Kirby, Gorman, and East Cork family network. The baptism sponsors, William Kirby and Johanna Gorman, and the Aghada / Ballyandreen / Ballycotton parish location should be compared with later Dorgan / Dargan records connected to Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter.

Evidence status: Candidate evidence. This record may relate to Johanna / Anne Flynn of the Carrigkilter Dorgan family, but it is not yet proven to be the same person.
Related East Cork Dargan / Dorgan Records
Catholic Parish Register · 1836
Person: Edmond Dargan / Dorgan and Mary Cusack
Place: Churchtown South / Cloyne parish area, East Cork
Record type: Catholic marriage register
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This marriage record helps document an early Dargan / Dorgan family connection in the Churchtown South, Cloyne, and Kilmacahill area of East Cork. Edmond Dargan / Dorgan is associated with Kilmacahill, and this record should be compared with nearby Cloyne, Churchtown South, Ballymacoda, Garryvoe, Ballycotton, Carrigkilter, and Ballybraher records to determine whether he connects to the wider East Cork Dorgan family network.
Research note: Edmond Dargan / Dorgan and Mary Cusack should not be treated as the proven parents of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter. Their marriage appears too late if Patrick was born around 1820. Edmond should be treated as a possible related East Cork Dorgan branch until further evidence is found.
Image / Record file: 1835-edmond-dargan-mary-cusack-marriage.jpg
1836 Edmond Dargan / Dorgan and Mary Cusack Marriage
Evidence status: Comparison evidence. This record may relate to a nearby or related East Cork Dargan / Dorgan branch, but Edmond and Mary Cusack should not be treated as Patrick Dargan / Dorgan’s proven parents.
Catholic Parish Register · 1838
Person: Daniel Dargan / Dorgan
Date: 18 Dec 1838
Place: Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge area, East Cork
Record type: Catholic baptism register
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This baptism record may be the earliest known child record for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna Flynn of Carrigkilter. The sponsors, John Motherway and Bridget Barry, should be compared with later Dorgan / Dargan, Flynn, Motherway, and Barry records in the Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge and wider East Cork parish-register network.
Image / Record file: 1838-daniel-dargan-dorgan-baptism.jpg
1838 Daniel Dargan / Dorgan Baptism
Evidence status: Confirmed child record for the Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna Flynn family, if the parent identification has been verified from the register. Sponsor names are supporting clues.
Catholic Parish Register · 1840
Person: Mary Dorgan
Date: 12 May 1840
Place: Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge area, East Cork
Record type: Catholic baptism register
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This baptism record helps document another child of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna Flynn. The sponsors, Daniel Dorgan and Eliza Flynn, may help connect the Carrigkilter Dorgan family with nearby Dorgan and Flynn relatives in the Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge and wider East Cork parish-register network.
Image / Record file: 1840-mary-dorgan-baptism.jpg
1840 Mary Dorgan Baptism
Evidence status: Confirmed child record. Sponsor names Daniel Dorgan and Eliza Flynn are supporting clues for possible family connections.
Catholic Parish Register · 1842
Person: Elizabeth Dargan / Dorgan
Date: 11 Feb 1842
Place: Parish: Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge area, East Cork
Record type: Catholic baptism register
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This baptism record helps place Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna Flynn’s family in the Carrigkilter / Ballybraher area. The record is especially useful because Johanna appears under the name Nancy, showing how the same person may appear under different first-name forms in parish records. The sponsors, Patrick Savage and Bridget Savage, should be compared with nearby Dorgan / Dargan, Flynn, and related family records; the sponsor surname should also be checked carefully against the original image.
Image / Record file: 1842-elizabeth-dargan-dorgan-baptism.jpg
1842 Elizabeth Dargan / Dorgan Baptism
Evidence status: Confirmed child record. The Nancy / Johanna name variation is important supporting evidence for interpreting first-name variants in the parish registers.
Catholic Parish Register · 1844
Person: Timothy Dargan / Dorgan
Date: 18 Feb 1844
Place: Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge area, East Cork
Record type: Catholic baptism register
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This baptism record helps document another child of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna Flynn. The sponsors, Ned Millerick and Mary Boozane, may help connect the Carrigkilter Dorgan family with neighboring East Cork families in the Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge parish-register network.
Image / Record file: 1844-timothy-dargan-dorgan-baptism.jpg
1844 Timothy Dargan / Dorgan Baptism
Evidence status: Confirmed child record. Sponsor names Ned Millerick and Mary Boozane are supporting clues.
Catholic Parish Register · 1846
Person: David D. Dorgan
Date: 8 Jan 1846
Place: Ballymacoda / Ladysbridge parish area, East Cork
Record type: Catholic baptism register
Folder: parish-registers
Parents: Patrick Dorgan and Nancy Flynn
Why this record matters: This baptism record adds David D. Dorgan to the confirmed child sequence of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna / Anne / Nancy Flynn of the Carrigkilter family. The record is especially useful because David’s mother appears as Nancy Flynn, helping support the pattern in which Johanna / Anne / Nancy Flynn may appear under different first-name forms in East Cork parish records. David’s baptism also helps extend the known child sequence beyond Daniel, Mary, Elizabeth, and Timothy, and bridges the parish-register evidence for the family before the land records that place Patrick Dargan / Dorgan at Carrigkilter from 1847 onward.
Image / Record file: 1846-david-dorgan-baptism.jpg
1846 David D. Dorgan Baptism
Evidence status: Confirmed child record. This record identifies David D. Dorgan as a child of Patrick Dorgan and Nancy Flynn and should be read together with the other baptism records for the children of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna / Anne / Nancy Flynn.
David D. Dorgan — Marriage, Census, Directory, Death, and Cemetery Records
Evidence status: Confirmed family record group
David D. Dorgan was a confirmed child of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna / Anne / Nancy Flynn of the Carrigkilter family. His baptism record places him in the child sequence of Patrick and Johanna, while his later marriage, census, directory, death, and cemetery records show how this branch of the family remained rooted in East Cork.
1881 — David Dorgan and Elizabeth / Eliza Ahern marriage
Evidence status: Confirmed marriage record
David Dorgan married Elizabeth / Eliza Ahern / Ahearne in 1881. Their marriage was connected with Ballintotis, Midleton, East County Cork, and the Midleton registration district.
Why it matters: This marriage connects the Dorgan family of Carrigkilter with the Ahern / Ahearne family of Ballybraher. The marriage also reflects the neighboring-farm network that helped preserve land, family ties, and local continuity in East Cork.
Image / Record file: 1881-david-dorgan-elizabeth-ahern-marriage.jpg
1901 — Census of Ireland, David Dorgan household, Carrigkilter
Evidence status: Confirmed census record
The 1901 Census of Ireland records David Dorgan as head of household at House No. 1, Carrigkilter, Ballycotton, County Cork. The household included David, his wife Elizabeth, farm servant Jeremiah Cronin, and domestic servant Mary Hassett. All members of the household were recorded as Roman Catholic.
Why it matters: This census record places David and Elizabeth at Carrigkilter at the beginning of the twentieth century and helps document the continuation of the Dorgan family presence in the townland after the earlier Patrick Dargan / Dorgan land records.
Image / Record file: 1901-david-dorgan-carrigkilter-census.jpg
1911 — Census of Ireland, David D. Dorgan household, Carrigkilter
Evidence status: Confirmed census record
The 1911 Census of Ireland records David D. Dorgan and his wife Elizabeth at House No. 2, Carrigkilter, Ballycotton, County Cork. Their household also included Ellen Mahony, a general domestic servant, and James Flynn, a boarder and scholar. The household members were recorded as fluent in both Irish and English.
Why it matters: This census record continues the Carrigkilter household evidence for David and Elizabeth. The presence of James Flynn may be significant because of the family’s Flynn connection through Johanna / Anne / Nancy Flynn, but that relationship still needs further confirmation.
Image / Record file: 1911-david-dorgan-carrigkilter-census.jpg
1914 — Guy’s Postal Directory, David Dorgan and Mrs. Dorgan, Vintner
Evidence status: Supporting directory evidence
The 1914 Guy’s Postal Directory lists David Dorgan in Cloyne, and his wife Elizabeth appears as Mrs. Dorgan, Vintner.
Why it matters: This directory record helps connect David and Elizabeth to the Cloyne business and local-directory context. It should be read together with the Carrigkilter census records and the wider East Cork family network.
1917 — David Dorgan death record
Evidence status: Probable civil death record, with age caution
David Dorgan died in August 1917. A civil death record for David Dorgan was registered in the Midleton district in the July–September quarter of 1917. The record gives an estimated birth year of about 1849, which differs from David’s 1846 baptism record.
Why it matters: This death record appears to correspond to David D. Dorgan of Carrigkilter, but the age difference should be noted. Age discrepancies are common in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century records and do not necessarily mean that this is a different person.
Image / Record file: 1917-david-dorgan-death-record.jpg
1917 — David Dorgan burial, Mogeely Cemetery
Evidence status: Confirmed cemetery record
David Dorgan is buried in Mogeely Cemetery. His headstone states that it was erected by Elizabeth to the memory of David, her husband, who died in August 1917.
Why it matters: The cemetery record supports the identification of David Dorgan and connects his death to Elizabeth. It should be read together with the civil death record and the Carrigkilter census records.
Research note
David Dorgan and Elizabeth / Eliza Ahern / Ahearne did not have biological children. They helped preserve family and property connections by taking in relatives: John Healy, the son of David’s sister Mary Dorgan Healy, and Margaret Graham / Grahame, the daughter of Elizabeth’s sister. John Healy and Margaret Graham were already married when they came to live on the farm, and their marriage was understood as an arranged family marriage. They later had five children, none of whom married.
This record group should be read together with David’s 1846 baptism record, the Carrigkilter land evidence, the Healy and Graham / Grahame family connections, and the wider Ballybraher, Ballycotton, Cloyne, and Carrigkilter family network.
Land Assessment / Valuation · 1846
Person: William Dargan
Place: East Cork
Record type: Land assessment / valuation record
Folder: land-assessments-valuations
Why this record matters: This early land-assessment record may help identify Dargan / Dorgan households in East Cork before Griffith’s Valuation. It should be compared with later Carrigkilter, Ballybraher, Garryvoe, Kilmacahill, Ballymacoda, and Cloyne-area records to determine whether this William Dargan connects to the wider East Cork Dorgan / Dargan family network.
Research note: William Dargan should be treated as a related East Cork research subject unless additional evidence connects him directly to Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter.
Image / Record file: 1846-william-dargan-land-valuation.pdf
1846 William Dargan Land Assessment
Evidence status: Comparison evidence. William Dargan should be treated as a related East Cork research subject unless additional evidence connects him directly to the Carrigkilter family line.
Valuation Office Book · 1847
Person: Patrick Dargan / Dorgan
Place: Carrigkilter, Ballintemple Parish, Imokilly, Co. Cork
Record type: Valuation Office Book / land assessment record
Folder: land-assessments-valuations
Why this record matters: This record provides early land evidence for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in Carrigkilter before the printed Griffith’s Valuation. It helps strengthen the Carrigkilter timeline and should be compared with Griffith’s Valuation, the Carrigkilter holding / plot 8 evidence, valuation maps, later valuation-office records, parish registers, census records, and neighboring family names.
Related land narrative: Read Carrigkilter Land Story
Image / Record file: 1847-patrick-dargan-land-assessment.jpg
1847 Patrick Dargan / Dorgan Land Assessment
Evidence status: Confirmed land evidence for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in Carrigkilter before the printed Griffith’s Valuation.
1848 Patrick Dargan / Dorgan House and Office Assessment — Carrigkilter
Record type: House and office assessment / valuation record
Date: 1848
Person named: Patrick Dargan / Dorgan
Place: Carrigkilter, parish of Ballintemple, barony of Imokilly, County Cork, Ireland
Archive significance: This record helps document the physical holding associated with Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in Carrigkilter before Griffith’s Valuation. It supports the Carrigkilter land-evidence chain and helps show that Patrick’s connection to Carrigkilter was already established before the published 1853 Griffith’s Valuation.
Research note: This record should be read together with the 1847 Patrick Dargan / Dorgan land assessment, the 1849 Patrick Dorgan Carrigkilter valuation record, and the 1853 Griffith’s Valuation entry for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in Carrigkilter.
Image / Record file: 1848 House and Office Assessment
This house and office assessment records Patrick Dargan in Carrigkilter and helps document the family’s physical holding there before Griffith’s Valuation.
1849 Patrick Dorgan Carrigkilter Valuation Record
Record type: Valuation record / land assessment record
Date: 1849
Person named: Patrick Dorgan
Place: Carrigkilter, parish of Ballintemple, barony of Imokilly, County Cork, Ireland
Archive significance: This record continues the Carrigkilter land-evidence chain for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan between the earlier 1847–1848 assessment records and the published 1853 Griffith’s Valuation. It helps show that Patrick’s association with Carrigkilter was not a single isolated record, but part of a continuing valuation sequence.
Research note: This record should be read together with the 1847 Patrick Dargan / Dorgan land assessment, the 1848 Patrick Dargan / Dorgan house and office assessment, and the 1853 Griffith’s Valuation entry for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in Carrigkilter.
Image / Record file: 1849 Patrick Dargan Carrigkilter.pdf
This 1849 Carrigkilter valuation record continues the pre-Griffith’s land evidence for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in the parish of Ballintemple, barony of Imokilly, County Cork.
Griffith’s Valuation · 1853
Person: Patrick Dargan / Dorgan
Place: Carrigkilter, Ballintemple Parish, Imokilly, Co. Cork
Record type: Griffith’s Valuation / land record
Folder: land-assessments-valuations
Why this record matters: This record anchors Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in Carrigkilter in the mid-nineteenth century and connects the family to Griffith’s Valuation holding / plot 8, related map evidence, landholding context, and neighboring households. It is one of the key records for reconstructing the Carrigkilter branch of the Dorgan family.
Image / Record file: 1853-patrick-dargan-dorgan-griffiths-valuation-carrigkilter.jpg
1853 Patrick Dargan / Dorgan Griffith’s Valuation — Carrigkilter
Evidence status: Confirmed core land evidence. This is one of the anchor records for Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter.
Griffith’s Valuation · 1853
Person: Patrick Dargan / Dorgan
Place: Carrigkilter, Ballintemple Parish, Imokilly, Co. Cork
Record type: Griffith’s Valuation map / holding reference
Folder: maps
Why this record matters: This Griffith’s Valuation map reference helps place Patrick Dargan / Dorgan in Carrigkilter in 1853. The valuation details identify him as a tenant of Thomas G. Durdin in the townland of Carrigkilter, Ballintemple Parish, Barony of Imokilly, Union of Midleton / Middleton, County Cork. The record appears on sheet 89, map reference / holding 8. This is important because it connects the written Griffith’s Valuation entry to a specific Carrigkilter holding and helps anchor the Dorgan family in the East Cork landscape.

Image / Record file: 1853-patrick-dargan-dorgan-griffiths-valuation-carrigkilter.jpg
1853 Patrick Dargan / Dorgan Griffith’s Valuation Map / Holding 8
Evidence status: Confirmed map and land-location evidence connected to the Carrigkilter Griffith’s Valuation entry.
Griffith’s Valuation · 1853
Person: Daniel Dorgan
Place: Garryvoe, East Cork
Record type: Griffith’s Valuation record
Folder: land-assessments-valuations
Why this record matters: This Griffith’s Valuation entry helps identify another Dorgan household in the Garryvoe area during the same period as Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter. It should be compared with Carrigkilter, Ballybraher, Cloyne, Ballycotton, Kilmacahill, and later census records to understand whether Daniel Dorgan belongs to the wider East Cork Dorgan family network.
Research note: Daniel Dorgan of Garryvoe should be treated as a related East Cork Dorgan research subject unless additional evidence connects him directly to Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter.
Image / Record file: 1853-griffiths-valuation-daniel-dorgan-garryvoe.jpg
1853 Daniel Dorgan Griffith’s Valuation — Garryvoe
Evidence status: Comparison evidence. Daniel Dorgan of Garryvoe may belong to the wider East Cork Dorgan / Dargan network, but a direct connection to Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter is not yet proven.
Griffith’s Valuation · 1853
Person: John Dorgan
Place: Garryvoe Lower, Ballycotton parish area, Imokilly, Co. Cork
Record type: Griffith’s Valuation / land record
Folder: land-assessments-valuations
Why this record matters: This record expands the documented Dorgan / Dargan footprint beyond Carrigkilter into the Garryvoe and Ladysbridge coastal area. It should be compared with other Dorgan land records, parish-register entries, maps, census records, and nearby family names to determine whether this Garryvoe Lower line connects to the Carrigkilter family network.
Research note: This John Dorgan should be treated carefully. He may not be the same John Dorgan who was born in 1839 and later married Ellen Cashman, because the 1839-born John would have been very young when mid-nineteenth-century valuation records were created. Until more evidence is found, this record should be treated as a related Garryvoe Lower Dorgan record, not proof of a direct connection to Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter.
Image / Record file: 1853 John Dorgan Griffith Valuation.jpg
Additional Research Collections
These research collections gather related records, clues, and evidence groups that are useful for comparing Dorgan / Dargan families across East Cork and beyond. Some collections contain confirmed family evidence, while others preserve unproven same-surname records for future comparison.
Each collection should be read with its own research cautions. A record may be important even when it does not yet prove a direct family relationship.
Books of Survey and Distribution — Ballintemple, Barony of Imokilly
Record type: Historical land context / parish and barony reference
Date: Historical land record; earlier than the nineteenth-century valuation sequence
Place: Ballintemple, barony of Imokilly, County Cork, Ireland
Archive significance: This record provides historical land and place context for Ballintemple and the barony of Imokilly, the wider civil-parish and barony setting for Carrigkilter. It helps place Carrigkilter within the older land-record landscape of East Cork.
Research note: This is a place-context record, not direct proof of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan or a specific family relationship. It should be used to understand the older Ballintemple / Imokilly landscape around Carrigkilter.
Ballymacoda Hill Cemetery Sketch Plan and Ballymacoda Hill Cemetery Aerial View
Record type: Cemetery sketch plan / graveyard context record
Date: Modern sketch plan of historic cemetery layout
Place: Ballymacoda Hill Cemetery, Ballymacoda, County Cork, Ireland
Archive significance: This sketch plan helps locate and interpret the Ballymacoda Hill Cemetery grave markers connected with early Dorgan / Dargan research. The cemetery is important because family research has identified early Dorgan / Dargan grave evidence there, including stones associated with Timothy Dorgan, Johanna Dorgan, Mary Dorgan, and Edmond Dorgan of Kilmacahill.
View Ann Flynn Gravestone Photo
A cemetery photograph associated with Ann / Johanna Flynn has been preserved from Ballymacoda Hill Cemetery. The stone is weathered and difficult to read in the image, so it is used as cemetery-location and family-research evidence rather than as a complete inscription transcription.
Research note: This is a cemetery-context record. It helps organize graveyard evidence but does not by itself prove family relationships. The headstone inscriptions should be read together with parish registers, burial evidence, land records, and the Early Dorgans in East Cork research page.

1869 — Michael Dorgan and Johanna Garde marriage
Evidence status: Confirmed marriage and parent-link evidence
Catholic marriage register, 26 Jan 1869, Cloyne. This record confirms Michael Dorgan as the son of Patrick Dorgan and Johanna Flynn and links the Carrigkilter Dorgan family to Johanna Garde and the Cloyne parish sister network.
Image / Record file: 1869-michael-dorgan-johanna-garde-marriage.jpg
1901 — Johanna Garde Dorgan household, Rock Street, Cloyne
Evidence status: Confirmed census and household evidence
The 1901 census records Johanna Garde Dorgan, widow of Michael Dorgan, in the Rock Street, Cloyne household with Patrick Dorgan and other family members. This record helps distinguish the younger Patrick Dorgan of Cloyne from the earlier Patrick Dargan / Dorgan of Carrigkilter.
Image / Record file: 1901-johanna-garde-dorgan-patrick-dorgan-rock-street-cloyne.pdf
1911 — Johanna Garde Dorgan household, Cloyne
Evidence status: Confirmed census and household evidence
The 1911 census continues the Cloyne household evidence for Johanna Garde Dorgan and Patrick Dorgan. It supports continuity from the 1901 Rock Street household and leads into the later Patrick Dorgan and Johanna Millerick family line.

Cloyne Branch Records:
Michael Dorgan and Johanna Garde Family
This branch begins in East Cork and continues in the United States. Patrick Dorgan married Mary Catherine Hartnett in Cloyne on 26 Nov 1886. Patrick left Ireland for the United States on 21 Oct 1896, and Mary Catherine Hartnett Dorgan followed with the children on 2 June 1897.
Because this family had already emigrated before the 1901 Census of Ireland, they should not be confused with Dorgan households still living in Ireland in 1901.
1866 Mary Catherine Hartnett Baptism — Cloyne

Sponsors: Thomas Walsh and Nory / Honora Sullivan
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This baptism record documents Mary Catherine Hartnett before her marriage to Patrick J. Dorgan.

Person: Patrick Dorgan and Mary Catherine Hartnett
Date: 26 Nov 1886
Place: Cloyne, East Cork
Record type: Catholic marriage register
Folder: parish-registers
Why this record matters: This marriage record connects Patrick Dorgan of the Carrigkilter family line with Mary Catherine Hartnett.

1896 Patrick J. Dorgan Carrigkilter Farm Sale Notice
Record type: Newspaper notice / land sale record
Date: 17 August 1896
Person named: Patrick Dorgan
Place: Carrigkilter, between Ballycotton and Cloyne, County Cork, Ireland
Source: The Cork Examiner, Monday Morning, 17 August 1896
Folder: documents or land-assessments-valuations
Why this record matters: This newspaper notice documents the sale of Patrick J. Dorgan’s interest in the Carrigkilter farm shortly before his emigration to the United States. The holding contained 27 acres, 1 rood, and 30 perches and was sold to Mrs. Margaret Curtin of Glanturkin for £142 10s. This record creates a strong bridge between the Carrigkilter land story and the later Providence, Rhode Island branch of the Dorgan family.
Related family narrative: Read Patrick J. Dorgan and Mary Catherine Hartnett
Image / Record file: Sale-of-Carrigkilter-Cork-Examiner-Carrigkilter-8-17-1896.jpg

1896 Patrick J. Dorgan Passenger List — Teutonic
Person: Patrick Dorgan
Place: Ireland to United States
Record type: Passenger list / emigration record
Folder: documents
Why this record matters: This record marks the beginning of the Patrick Dorgan and Mary Catherine Hartnett family’s move from East Cork to the United States. Patrick Dorgan left Ireland for the United States on 21 Oct 1896. Mary Catherine Hartnett Dorgan and the children followed on 2 June 1897.
This emigration evidence explains why this family does not appear in the 1901 Census of Ireland and helps connect the East Cork parish records to the later Rhode Island family records.
Image / Record file: 1896-Patrick_Dorgan_Passenger_List.jpeg
Evidence status: Confirmed emigration evidence for Patrick Dorgan. This record helps establish the family’s movement from Ireland to the United States before the 1901 Census of Ireland.
1897 Mary Catherine Hartnett Dorgan and Children Passenger List — Teutonic
Record type: Passenger list / immigration record
Date: 2 June 1897 departure; 9 June 1897 arrival

Departure port: Queenstown, County Cork, Ireland
Arrival place: Ellis Island, New York, United States
Last residence / address: Midleton, County Cork, Ireland

Folder: passenger-emigration-records or documents
Why this record matters: This passenger list documents Mary Catherine Hartnett Dorgan’s emigration to the United States with her children in 1897, following Patrick J. Dorgan’s earlier emigration in 1896. Together, the 1896 Patrick J. Dorgan passenger record and this 1897 Teutonic record show the staged movement of the family from East Cork to America.

John Joseph Dorgan was a child of Patrick J. Dorgan and Mary Catherine Hartnett Dorgan. He was baptized on 22 December 1895 in Churchtown South, Cloyne, East Cork, Ireland.
John Joseph died in infancy, probably soon after his baptism. He does not appear in later passenger lists or American census records, but he belongs in the complete birth order of Patrick and Mary Catherine’s children.

Timothy Joseph Dorgan — Death Record
Record type: Death record
Person: Timothy Joseph Dorgan
Parents: Patrick J. Dorgan and Mary Catherine Hartnett Dorgan
Birth date: 17 June 1902
Death date: 17 April 1903
Place of death: Providence, Rhode Island
Residence: 39 Ashburton Street, Providence, Rhode Island
Burial: St. Francis Cemetery
Cause of death: Measles and capillary bronchitis
Timothy Joseph Dorgan was a child of Patrick J. Dorgan and Mary Catherine Hartnett Dorgan. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on 17 June 1902 and died there on 17 April 1903 at the age of 10 months.
His death record helps document the children of Patrick and Mary Catherine after the family’s move from East Cork to Providence. Although Timothy died in infancy, he belongs in the complete child sequence of this Dorgan family.
Research caution: The indexed Rhode Island vital record includes conflicting details, including an estimated birth year of 1903 and an age entry of “0 days.” Because family information gives Timothy’s birth as 17 June 1902 and his age at death as 10 months, the indexed details should be read carefully against the original death record and family evidence.
