Title: Hargadon from Sligo Town
Post by: dortmund on Saturday 06 August 05 14:57 BST (UK)

Hi,

Searching for the parents of John (Sean) Hargadon birth 1920 in Sligo, there is a possibility that he was born in CORNAGEEAH.

It is known that he came to England before the 2nd WW and married in 1941.

Hi Kev,

I dont think its the same family, the one I'm tracing John(Sean) wasn't born until c.1908 in Sligo.

Thanks anyway.

Hi RonnieG,

Thanks for your reply, the trouble we have is we cant be sure of his exact birth date he gave various ones when he came over to England before the War and when he joined the Army and When he married also he said his father was called John on his marriage. so you can see the dilemma.

Trevor,

So we're looking for John/Sean Hargadon born c.1920 in Sligo, father also named John.

Do you have any idea of his mother's first name? or any of his siblings? or their DOBs?

There are 37 Hardagon households listed in the 1901 Census for Sligo. You can view them here www.leitrim-roscommon.com

Just been on to my step-sister whose father is the one we are tracing.

The only other info she has is as follows :-

Brothers : Patrick, Liam, Shamus ( was a Jesuit priest).
Sister : Barbara (died young) ?

Mother Mary ?

and a surname of FURY ? mentioned.
