Looking for parents of John Egan(1838) I believe. He was married to a Julia Kelly(1836) She was from Tullamore Ireland. They had a daughter Jane Egan. Jane was briefly married to a Kearney.

Hi Alice
Just to add a little more detail, is this the family here in New South Wales www.ancestry.co.uk/genealogy/records/jane-egan-24-17yrw75?geo_a=r&geo_s=ca&geo_t=uk&geo_v=2.0.0&o_iid=41016&o_lid=41016&o_sch=Web+Property
Have you any info as to where John Egan was born? What records have you found for the family?

Yes,that looks like them. But looking for the parents of John Egan. Which is either in Camorra. Castlera Roscommon.
-
Have you the marriage for him? That should have some parental information.
-
Possibly a Thomas Egan and Anne Hart. That is all I have.
-
Where and when did John EGAN and Julia KELLY marry?
When and where did John EGAN and Julia EGAN nee KELLY die?
Do you have their death certificates?
What BDM certificates do you have for the people you are researching...eg.....children born to John and Julia....and the marriages/deaths of those children?
-
Where do the names Thomas and Anne Hart come from?
I think you need to do some more research to obtain some more facts …..
John Egan who died 1916 at Hillgrove - his death cert records his mother as “Margaret”
There is a catholic baptism for a John Egan on 15 Nov 1839 at Roscommon, Ireland
Father John (Johannis) Egan and mother Rosae Farrell.
You need to verify it is for your John, as the name is very common.
I would suggest you find John’s immigration record, and his marriage, to know if you are on the right track.
NSW birth records for his children can often give important information about parents.
-
Yes it is John Egan and Rose Farrell. Looked at the wrong names.
-
Children birth records to John Egan and Julia/ Judy
Margaret born 1865 Wellingrove
John born 1872 Inverell
Eliza born 1875 Inverell
Jane born 1877 Inverell
Some deaths for children of John Egan and Julia/ Judy
Margaret 1863 Wellingrove
James 1890 Hillgrove
(First 2 daughters appear to be named Margaret, so this may indicate they were named after a grandparent.)
-
Yes that is the family. Thank you
Also can you see if John (Johanis) Egan parents are Thomas and Anne Hart. Or any siblings.

Have them from other family members that are researching them also.
-
I think the research you are seeing on family trees online is people copying from each other.
You need to do your own research. You need to see some BDM documents, not all of them.
The death certificate for John EGAN would be useful because his wife Julia is alive when he dies, so potentially a source for information, even if she is not recorded as informant.
