1798 - 1860
Resident, although a family that might be his appears in the English census under Caroline Holligan aged 40 and Rebecca Holligan aged 45, who were living at West Side Ealing in 1841. The family of Caroline Holligan was living at Warwick in 1871, with two daughters, a daughter-in-law and five grandchildren (all surnamed Holligan, all born in Barbados).
An inscription recorded by Vere Langford Oliver shows the deaths of Dorothy Evans Holligan (d. 1823) and her husband James Holligan senior (d. 1834), of Richard Sanderson (d. 1844 aged 17) the son of James and Caroline Holligan, and of James Holligan (d. 1860 aged 62).
In the 1832 Barbados Slave Register Holligan appears as James Holligan jun. as it also did in the 1826 Register where he is recorded as having received the enslaved as a gift from James Holligan senior. The above must be Holligan jun.
