Martin Reddigan

Abt 1837 - 1902  (~ 65 years)

• Name	Martin Reddigan
  Born	Abt 1837	Admiral's Cove, Fermeuse, Newfoundland   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Research Overview	1869	Caplin Bay, Newfoundland
  Martin Reddigan is first mentioned in an old court record as living in Caplin Bay in 1869, He was also recorded several times in the earliest surviving marriage and baptism records. Martin eventually married his "cousin" Bridget Reddigan in 1875. It is not known for certain where he came from, or with whom he lived prior to his marriage. Since he was obviously from another branch of the Reddigan family, the only logical conclusion is that he was the son of Michael and Bridget (Cody) Reddigan of Admiral's Cove, Fermeuse. Based on the Fermeuse Voter's List, it appears that Michael Reddigan probably died when Martin was about 13 years old. According to an article, gathered by the late Ray Curran re the Johnston family, it states that Richard Reddigan and Jane (Johnston) Reddigan reared up "Mike Joe" Reddigan. However, Mike Joe was 27 years old when his father, Martin died in 1902 and his mother, Bridget didn't die until about 1930. This leads me to believe that there may be confusion in identifying the correct generation. If factual, it is more likely that Martin possibly may have lived with Richard and Jane Reddigan in the late 1860s/ early 1870s. Although he was probably born in Admiral's Cove, Fermeuse, Martin's death record states that he was born at Caplin Bay, however this information is obviously incorrect.
