My Mum know very little about him. All she knows is that her Grandad was born in India. She was very young when her Dad, Thomas Jnr, died and I suppose she lost that connection.  She does remember Thomas Senior as an old man who visited her with his wife. He was a clerk and dressed very smartly  and had a bowler hat.
I am fascinated that James Snr fought in the Crimean war - really looking forward to hearing more.

Very exciting stuff, wish I'd asked more questions when my parents were both alive, but at last I'm finding out loads thanks to you guys. 

Can't wait to find out more.  I just wish I had more to tell you, I'll catch up with my brother and my uncle Christy soon (William's son) and see what I can find out.

Thanks Shane for your good wishes.

Hi
I would like to learn more about Thomas Beahan born in India in 1859. he married Mary Beahan they had aboy 5 children. One of which was Mary Teresa Beahan b 1889 Dublin died 1972. Can you go further back than Thomas Beahan ? what were the names of the other Beahan siblings? I assume Thomas was in the Britsih army in India ?? where was he stationed - any info?

Hi Paul

My greatgrandfather was James Beahan- older brother to Thomas. There were I think 3 sisters 2 of whom were also born in India. James was born on board ship in 1854 and left in Kensington in London where he was baptised and ended up at a school for orphans - he had one leg shorter than the other which is why he may have been abandoned. Somewhere along the line however he reconnected to his family and used to visit his father and brother Thomas in Dublin from Leeds where he settled. One of his sisters left her son with him at times. He kept a journal which I have in my possession. I have never been able to find out much about his parents - but my family do have James senior's crimean war medal.
