Thank you so much for this.

It seems they changed their names rather a bit. Once they were in Chile I think they changed to Eduardo Cohlan and Marķa Chessman de Cohlan, as far as I can tell. I wonder what they were moving away from?

Isaac Stuart Coghlan ( birth registered as Isaac Stewart Coghlan) baptised at Portsea St Mary, 8th November 1857. Son of John ( a Royal Navy gunner) and Eliza.

If the passenger list of the Orellana has them leaving for Valparaiso on 5 December 1895:
Stuart Coghlan, 35, farmer, Irish,   is correct then you'd be looking at Church Records, Civil Reg didn't start until 1864

I don't think he was Irish. It looks like he was born in the Portsmouth area.

Interesting. The family seems to think he was from Ireland but records show him as English. The notes for his daughter's birth on the Chile genealogy site say "Legitimate daughter of Edward Stewart Coghlan, and Mary Chessman, English. Cohglan, is a lineage of Irish origin."

Maybe somewhere down the line!

Is Isaac and Edward the same person?

Is Isaac and Edward the same person?

Yes I reckon so. There's only one Coghlan/Chessman marriage and that is Isaac Steward Coghlan.
