I am trying to find information about my Grandparents families. Eugene Grogan was born to Michael and Catherine or Kate (nee Beirne). They were married in Bekan Parish County Mayo on 26th December 1881 and then moved to Co. Tyrone.  Eugene's Church Baptism record is dated 2/11/1893 and was issued in Coalisland Tyrone.  His father was a Sergeant in the R.I.C. Eugene was one of eight children whom were named James, Margaret, Annie, Michael, John, Kathleen and Patrick. 

I would love to hear from anyone who has any information on the Grogan family.

Many Thanks

Frances

  • These seem to be the only ones that fit from the Bekan Baptism records  of the 1850s.  It seems that they used a lot of Latin spellings. Michael born 12 Sep Baptised 18 Sep 1852 of Dominiscus Grogran and Margarita Grealy sp. Lauretius Grogan and Catherine Grealy

    Catherine no birth date Baptised 12 Oct 1852 of Jacobus Byrne and Brigida Eagany sp Martinas Brennan and Catherine Keane

  • This is a link to a copy of their Civil Marriage.

    His father was Pat Grogan from what I presume is Sion Mills Co. Tyrone.

    Catherine Beirne Age 20 in 1881 was the daughter of a School Teacher Michael Beirne who resided in Bekan.

    There is a record in Bekan Church records for a Catherine Beirne (Or Byrne) born to Michael Beirne and Margaret Reilly on the 27 Mar 1862. She had a sister Mary born 20 Sep 1863.
