This is fantastic information. Thanks to everyone who has looked it up.
Bluehat, good to find a relative. My mum, Catherine, would be your Mum's first cousin. Mum is  still with us at 87 and I'll tell her all about this and see what else she can tell us.

I was always told that Thomas was born in India and that he was in the British Army but knew very little apart from that. But the research backs that up. My Mum remebers him as being a very respectable man, wore a bowler hat and paid for her to have piano lessons.
My grandad, Thomas, is listed as working as a Fireman on the railways but in 1923 when Mum was born her is on her birth certificate as a sergeant in the in the national army.

Hi GillyBW

My mam two brother's are still alive, Harry who lives in Essex and Christy who lives beside my grandparents family home in Camac Park, Bluebell, Dublin, your mam might remember it. Charlie, Breda and Liam have all passed on.  Whereabouts is your mum living now?

I never met either of my granddads and my grandmothers on both sides passed when I was 6.  I also lost both my parents very young, so finding all this info out now is fantastic, it's stuff that's been a mystery for years. 

Thanks Obbie for all the info, and GillyBW, nice to meet you.... cousin!

Hi - have just found these comments, having given up rather on my searches for information. My paternal greatgrandfather was James Beahan. He was born on board ship and eventually ended up in Leeds as a Lithographer. He had two sons, one of whom was my Grandad Jim. I knew his brother was called Thomas and lived in Inchicore and his father was James. I have a journal that he kept for many years with all sorts of bits of information. He talks of going to visit Thomas and of his nephew William not being well. He mentions visiting his father's grave at Glasnevin. Also about his sisters Elizabeth and Norah. I have a letter from Norah's estranged son Alan who was trying to trace his relatives in the days before the internet. Anyway - hello those of you to whom it looks I am related! My father Patrick was an only child and we never had many relatives on the Beahan side. His uncle Lawrence and his father Jim fell out when they were young. My Dad managed to make contact with his cousin Paul Beahan before they both died. Anyway....enough for now!

wow Pangie, good to hear from you.  Myself and my sister have been trying to find information for a while now.  We would love to find out more about this diary, if you don't mind.

Private message me when you get a chance.
