Mr and Mrs GAGHAN and four children arriving SA from Sydney in Nov 1844.
http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1844Dorset.gif

In the SA newspapers there are numerous mentions of a Michael GAGHAN [and spelling variations] and a Mary GAGHAN as being in need of relief from the Destitute Board.  Stated he had a large family/six children, and was noted as both an epileptic.
