Dear Termonfeckin,
I am trying to trace my Great Grandfather, Thomas GAUGHRAN. He worked as a docker in Liverpool, according to the England 1911 cencus. The cencus gives his birthplace as Termonfeckin, Co Louth and age as 34 (so born around 1877). He married Veronica HANRATTY in Engalnd in 1903 and had several children (including my maternal grandmother, Kathleen). Sadly he died after an accident at the docks in 1918. He doesn't appear in the English Cencus of 1901 so was possibly still in Louth then.
Any information about him and his family would be gratefuly recieved,
Many thanks, Nick Chambers (tel: 0044 7769 730167 or email: chchchambers@aol.com)

There?s only a handful of Gaughrans in the 1901 census in Co Louth. Perhaps relatives?

The only birth I can see for Thomas Gaughran round that time in Co Louth was in Oct ? Dec 1878 in Ardee (which is not in Temronfeckin), so don?t know if it?s your man or not.
If you get Thomas?s 1904 marriage cert, it should give you his father?s name which you could then use to check the Irish birth cert.
