Egans Forge
« on: Friday 29 June 07 14:02 UTC (UK) »
Can anyone please help. 

In researching my family in Kilbeggan I discover Michael Egan had a blacksmiths forge on the Dublin Road near a dangerous bend in Tyrellspass  Westmeath.

I am trying to obtain a photograph of the forge.

Hiya Anthony,

Have you thought of contacting the Westmeath Library? I've contacted a couple of people who live in Westmeath. They're both on another website . Keep your fingers crossed that one posts a reply.

Hello Anthony,

I've posted a query about Eagans Forge on MySpace. A reply should come from one of the members on that site where I've many online musician friends, who between them, are travelling around Ireland on a regular basis.

Dear Christopher
Success  I wrote to Mullingar Library and was given the addresses of two people who might help me.  I wrote and after 6 months received a letter from Maree with details of the Egan family with photographs.

Its amazing how kind some folks can be .  This contact led me to a neighbour who has written to me and given more details.   So thank you again for your help.
