Thanks Isabel, I would like to keep in touch. I note your Sylvester named his eldest child "Thomas" - my grandfather and his father did the same! My guess is your Sylvester's father was named "Thomas", too.

Hi Isabel,

Thank you for your response.

I wrote to the Parish Priest at St. Marys Castlegregory and asked for my grandfather's baptismal record. I also gave his parents names which were found on his marriage and death certificate. I received a printout of his family - his parents marriage date, and sibling  names with dates of baptism.

Could your Sylvester and my grandfather be cousins? the christian names are similar.

Isabel,

My grandfather, Eugene Egan born 1851, came from Castlegregory, too and emigrated to New Zealand 1873. His parents were Thomas Egan and Mary Fitzgerald. He also had a younger brother called Sylvester, b.1861. 
Do you know the names of your Silvester's parents?
