James and Kathleen Branigan (Laura's parents)





James and Kathleen Branigan married March 12, 1945, in a Manhattan ceremony. They lived at 949 St. John's pl, Brooklyn, New York. After a couple of years they moved to a house at 85 Knoll Lane, Levittown, Nassau County, Long Island, with their 3 children. But the Branigan's once again decided to move. This time away from New York, to settle down at 8 Brundage Street in Armonk Village, Town of North Castle, Westchester County. Documents shows this happened in February 1952, just shortly before Laura was born. In April 1952, Kathleen and her father William O'hare, was involved in a car accident at Route 22 in Armonk. Though Kathleen were expecting a child in July (Laura) she was taken to Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco. According to newspaper she had suffered of a fracture rib and ankle and multiple abrasions in the accident.
