Seeking any information about PATRICK GEOGHAN he was in the Stoke on Trent workhouse in 1881(then aged 13) with his brother sisters and mother.
His brother Stephen and sister Grace & Laura were sent to Canada in 1885
His mother Louisa remarried stating she was a widow in 1885
Did Patrick leave the worhouse before 1885? what happened to him,
his surname had been changed to Gaghan whilst in the workhouse and his brother and sisters were re-named as Gagan when sent to Canada.
His sisters remained in Canada, but brother Stephen left Canada in 1909 and went to Scotland.
Did Patrick remain in touch with his siblings?
