Dead end on my tree

Question

My great grandfather Michael (have seen Micheal) Corcoran was married to Bridget (possibly Gannon) and lived in Logansport, Indiana.  They were there in 1870.  An 1870 census said my Aunt Ellie was born in Ohio.  I cannot find the parents of either my grandfather or grandmother.  They are both buried in Cass County, Logansport Indiana. I sometimes wonder if they changed their name?

Michael Corcoran (born 1829 possibly Kilkenny) died 1896 Logansport, Inidana

Bridget Corcoran 1847 - 1919 (Logansport, Indiana)

Comments

Wrong Michael.

Answer 1

There are probably death records for both Michael and Bridget. In that time frame they may or may not list parents (some places do, other's don't). "Google" Loganspost and see if they have information about where to get public records. Follow up and if the town website doesn't tell you anything call them, ask the town clerk. If Logansport is big they may have a department otherwise the town clerk is probably in charge. They'll probably charge a fee.
