thanks Neale1961, more information Edward Joseph Brennan, known as Joe, born 31st March 1897 in Lisconnor Co Clare Ireland. i was told by one of his sons he came to Sydney Australia in 1911 at the age of 14 (could be 1910 arrival) he later changed his name to his mother's
Which state did he reside in?
Changed name from Brennan to Mergan later in life.
Why are you unsure of his surname?
Where did you get the 1911 from? one of his sons told me.
Some details of the man would help, e.g. birth year and place of birth, death, sailed from where, etc.
Birth 31/3/1897, Lisconnor Co. clare Ireland, think he sailed from Ireland.
