Hi
Just one or two pieces of information (hopefully not adding to the confusion).
The address of the family in the 1861 census posted by Judy2632 on page 1 is 3 Kensington Place. There is a marriage at St John's Notting Hill in 1865 (5 March) between a John Egan and Amelia Wright. John Egan is a baker , address 3 Kensington Place. His father is named as James Egan but his occupation is given as schoolmaster! ( Noting that this is the same church where James Gibbs married Susan Gibbs might they have been "creative " when giving father's occupation).
Maria Egan has been transcribed as Egar on the 1871 census.
Address 5 Waldigrave Terrace
Maria 54 Laundress b Dulverton, Somerset (age difficult to read - could be 56 or 50)
Ellen 32 Nurse? domestic b Kensington
William 24 House painter b Kensington
Alice 16 b Hammersmith
There is also a workhouse admission in 1876 in Fulham (March 16th) for Maria Egan born 1816 - calling ironer, religious persuasion RC. There is a death in the 2nd Quarter 1876 in Fulham of a Maria Egan b 1816. ( Note that a public tree on acy.has Maria Egan's death in 1893 and a probate entry - I think that that is a different Maria as 1891 census gives her place of birth as Ireland).
William
