kerry4305 on 2010-07-20 21:50:17Research has not always been easy with name changing Colgan/Coghlan. This is what I have so far... John Albert Coghlan Parents were Christopher Colgan and Mary Ryan M. 18th Oct 1846 East Maitland. Mary died 17th Dec 1885 age 29 and is buried at Hiland Cemetery East Maitland with daughter Catherine. There are possibly 5 children all dying at a young age except Joseph b. 1852 d. 13 Feb. 1927 Canowindra who never married. I have no further information on Mary.
Christopher then married to Margaret Burke who was informant at time of death information is Christopher Colgan shoemaker, death George Street East Maitland 7th December 1874 63years cause Paralysis, buried 8th Dec.

Grandfather I have heaps of information on this family. Originally Christopher that came out her left with the surname colligan on the ship changed to colgan then became Coghlan. It’s very hard to trace.
