A thank you to Elaine and the Egan Clan
I would like to thank elaine for her help not only did she give me some info on Thomas Egan the clan page put me in contact with another of thomas's descendents.Elaine you deserve a box of chocolates.So how does it fit well it goes like this:
Thomas Egan transported to Australia from Tiperary ( trial 1823) arrived Castle Forbes January 1824. Ellen Egan ( maiden name Maher ) arrived Australia with her son Robert Egan and his wife Margaret Hayes, daughter Johanna andher husband John Mahoney and children aboard the William Jardine in 1849.Tracey Read is descended through Robert and Margaret and my husband Warwick thru Johanna. Most of the family seems to be buried in the Golbourn Yass area.
Elaine if you want a copy of what I have so far for the aussie branches archives please tell me and I'll email you with it.
so thanks to all of you
Helen
