I'm another "Kerrigan from Philadelphia." Don't know much about my family history, though. My maternal grandfather, Thomas Kerrigan (lived in Manayunk), married grandmother Theresa Cecelia (Celia?) Winchester (also of Manayunk); they had three children, Thomas, Grace (my mom) and Theresa. Both grandparents passed away in the late '70s/mid-'80s.
Thomas Kerrigan Jr. (my uncle) married Helen (sorry, don't know last name; Italian, maybe?); still live in East Falls area. They had four children: Helen Marie, Tommy Kevin, Patty and Karen, all of whom are still in Phila. area and have kids of their own.
Grace didn't marry till 1980s, when she married Charles Gottschall; they moved to the Perkasie area in the late '80s.
Theresa ("Terry") married Tom LaCorte of the Fairmount section; they moved to Roxborough and adopted three children: Thomas Jr., Daniel and Lisa Marie. Terry and Tom Sr. now live in Margate, N.J.
