Narrative
The Carrigan's son John most likely died in 1878 by drowning, at a point opposite Border Street. The John on record was 14 years old, born in England, and had parents named John and Elizabeth, who were born in Ireland. Only the father's name is not a match, and that could have been confused with John's own name.

James Kerrigan, 27, laborer, born in Ireland, checkmark for "rateable polls" children born in England "Massachusetts, State Census, 1865," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MQH7-YK6 : accessed 1 March 2015), James Kerrigan, Boston, Ward 02, Suffolk, Massachusetts; State Archives, Boston; FHL microfilm 954,374.
from: "My understanding of the rateable poll was a predetermined tax levied on a property owner and an occupier of a dwelling who was over a certain age. Once they paid this tax, then they were allowed to vote, but not until then. I think it was based on British Law. The rateable poll was repealed in the 20th Century because it was disproportionate between rich and poor." |
