Agnews of Craiginorne/Ballygowan

[Gossamer]

Thomas Joseph Agnew was born May 25, 1925 and grew up in Craiginorne.   In 1953 he emigrated to South Australia where he died in 2012.   Tom returned to Ireland when his brother Robert Daniel Agnew died 31 January 1986 and was buried in Ballygowan RC Church Cemetery along with his parents Robert Daniel and Mary (Campbell) Agnew.  Tom stayed for a couple of months while settling his brother's affairs and visiting friends and relatives before returning to Australia.   Thomas said he had two great grandfathers both named Daniel Agnew.  When Thomas died in 2012 in Australia his affairs were settled by a cousin.   

I would like to know more about this family since DNA has indicated I am related to a number of Agnews in Australia.   I am trying to determine if I could be related to Thomas' line.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

How can he have 2 g/fathers with same name?

His father was Robert Agnew  his mother was a Campbell

so he'd have 1 g.father Campbell and one Agnew!




He'd one have 2 by name of Agnew if an  Agnew married an  Agnew

His GREAT grandfathers were both named Daniel Agnew.

So you'd need an Agnew marrying an Agnew with both fathers named Daniel.....
