My grandfather's name was James Whelan, his brother's name was Thomas Phelan.The only other brother went to Australia - we don't know what name he used.The sisters were split, but then they married.
We have no idea why the brothers spelled the name differently.So far all the records I have found in Ireland for them are Whelan.
