Personal Notes:
Supergrover - The children of this family were put into an orphange in Qld. During that time their surname spelling was changed to Herrigan, not Herrigen as recorded on William's birth certificate. However, the name was orginally Harrigan and spelling was not a top priority in those times of immigration and movement.
