Hi,
John Hagan was a soldier who travelled from the UK to Australia with his family in the mid 1840's.
I suspect they travelled to different parts of Australia, especially Tasmania, however, I am mainly trying to find out details of the families first and most significant trip to Adelaide.
My curent theory (and I could be wrong) is that John Hagan travelled from Hobart and Launceston, Van Diemen's Land, on the "Brankenmoor" as part of the 11th Regiment and arrived in South Australia in April 1846.
The ship put in at Encounter Bay, SA due to rough weather on 27 April 1846. The detachment consisted of 4 officers + 90 rank and file accompanied by 12 wives and 25 children. Some made their way overland -"The Brankenmoor, from Hobart town, which put into Encounter Bay through stress of weather, has landed the troops and passengers from Launceston, who are severally on their way up by land.". [Register, Sat,2 May, 1846, p. 2] and some came later when things settled down -
"THE“BRANKENMOOR” This ship came round from Encounter Bay, where she put in, in stress of weather, on Monday last, with a detachment of the 11th Regiment, from Hobart Town, to replace the 96th ordered hence to Van Diemen’s Land."
Any evidence of any Hagan's being on board?
Or maybe another ship, another time?
While I do have evidence they lived in Adelaide (marriages of children etc) is there any evidence of their actual arrival in Adelaide on or around 1846?
Thanks,
Rob.

A John HAGAN arrived from NSW c1847 but do you have anymore details about your HAGAN family in South Australia. It appears there were a number of John HAGAN's in SA.
While I do have evidence they lived in Adelaide (marriages of children etc) is there any evidence of their actual arrival in Adelaide on or around 1846?
Could you please type up that evidence including the names of the children who married.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. More info --
What is the earliest sighting you have of your HAGAN family in South Australia please. ---
'Case book of medical officer of regiment stationed in Adelaide', dated 1846 (GRG78/12), "Mrs Hagan's child" received medical care:.... Sarah Hagan aged 12 also received care".
May have done other "odd" trips here and there, eg, travelled between Adelaide and Hobart eg 13/1/1848 there was a John Hagan on a ship called "Catherine" from Launceston (Adelaide Observer 15/1/1848). Could be why he was not witness to daughter Mary Jane's marriage in Adelaide on 18 November 1847 (mother Mary witness) (John’s new son-in-law John Featherstone who was a policeman).
However, John was witness at his other daughter Sarah’s wedding on 26 June 1850 in Adelaide, which states she lived at Glenelg before she was married.
Can you describe this family...John HAGAN and wife........
