Michael Corcoran was born Leitrim townland, Kilbride parish, to John Corcoran and Catherine Flanagan, Oct. 1839.In 1863 he travelled to Liverpool, and thence on a ship called The Royal Family to Melbourne, Australia.Probably because he was illiterate,he never made contact with home.
In1920, his nephew, John Corcoran wrote to the police in Melbourne, seeking the whereabouts of Michael. He was found living in a small rented hut in a town called Stawell. He said he was 80 years of age, in perfect health, had never married and had no relatives in Australia.
On Feb. 2 1925, Michael died in The Nazareth Home in Ballarat.
We would love to know anything about Michaels life between 1863 and 1925.

Serendip!
I just happen to have a marriage certificate of Peter Reynolds and Bridget Corcoran dated 4 August 1862 which has the signatures of Mary A. Reynolds (Peter's Mother) and X The Mark of Michael Corcoran (unknown relationship to Bridget whose father is listed as James Corcoran - deceased formerly a Leather Butter or Butler).

Bridget's address is given as 14 Lloyd Street, Hulme a town near Manchester and close to Liverpool and an Irish Immigrant magnet. If you think this is your Michael, let me know and I can send a photocopy.

God Bless.
