Thomas Egan born c1852 Galway

Post by Larna »

Thos Egan born in Galway 1851/1852, married in Corbridge 1878, and then settled in South Shields with his 3 children - Mary, John, and Nora who were all born between 1880 & 1890. I am trying to trace any information on Thomas e.g. parents names, exact place of birth, brothers or sisters etc., or any stories of his life.

John Egan, son of Thomas, was born in 1884. He lived in the Commercial Road area of South Shields, and had two daughters probably born around 1920.

John Egan may have been married to a McNulty, and may also have had two sons. Where are all you Egans?

There was a John Egan married Elizabeth Brown/Elizabeth Forster
at South Shields in 1912. It is to be assumed that Elizabeth Brown
was a widow and her maiden name was Forster. There is no record
of any other John Egan getting married in South Shields between
1905 and 1920.

Three was a John Thomas Egan married in 1904 which could be him as his middle name was Thomas after his father from Galway. It looks as if he may have had 5 children born between 1914 & 1923, three girls & two boys.

I need to find any descendants who know anything about Thomas Egan who came over from Galway around the 1870s.
