Gender
Male

Thomas Egerton (born Eggenton) was born in Carrick, Dalystown, Mullingar, Co Westmeath on the 3rd February 1890.

He was the second eldest, his brother John being the eldest. His other siblings include (but not limited to) Julia Joseph Margaret Agnes Mary. We are not sure why the name changed and we are reaching out to anyone who think they may be related. We are based in Mullingar still, with other known relatives based in Carlow and possibly Cork (we think John Eggenton moved to Cork and one of his sister's moved to the UK).

His mother was Mary Garry from Collinstown.

He lived in The Downs Mullingar in the latter end of his life.

He married a woman called Mary - maiden name unknown at this point. 

He had 6 sons named William Kevin Joseph Thomas Sean and Patrick.

    A Teltown Marriage

    <p>Irish historian John O'Donovan (1806-1861) who surveyed this district in the 1830s wrote of the 'Teltown Marriages':</p> <p>"A number of young men went into the hollow to the north side of the wall, and an equal number of marriageable young women to the south side of the wall which was so high as to prevent them from seeing the men; one of the women put her hand thro' the hole in the gate and a man took hold of it from the other side, being guided in his choice only by the appearance of the hand. The two were thus joined hands by blind chance were obliged to live together for a year and a day, at the expiration of which time they appeared at the Rath of Telton and if they were not satisfied with each other they obtained a deed of separation and were entitled to go to Laganeeny again to try their good fortune for the ensuing year."</p> <p>According to O’Donovan, this ceremony was performed at a place close to the Knockauns known as Lag an Aonaich or “Leganeeny” (the Hollow of the Fair).</p>
