Researching Feagan and Coulter in Enniskillen

FermanaghEnniskillen (Fermanagh)

I am searching for information on John Feagan 1808-1880 and his wife Ann Coulter 1804-1867

John Feagan was born in Enniskillen, Fermanagh (parents John Feagan and Elizabeth ?) and his wife Ann Coulter was born in Ireland to parents William Coulter and Marjorie Margaret Erwin or Irwin.

Their son William Feagan 1840-1919 was also born in Enniskillen. John and Ann emigrated to Australia in 1841. They both died in Australia.

Hi Evelyn,

I have just noticed your request for assisstance with John Feagan.  I have been doing a bit of research into a Feagan Family, still to determine if they are related to John and Anne but I have come across some wonderful information that I am sure you will find interesting.

http://www.archives.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/562584/Googong_Homestead_1845-1976.pdf

There are also many entries in newspapers about William Feagan, his son, and his children, enjoying a wonderful lifestyle at Googong Homestead on this website

www.trove.gov.au

Let me know if you need a little assistance with working out the search engines on this website.

Best of luck,

Debe

Hi Debe

Thank you for the archives link. Very interesting and ties in with much of the information my Grandfather Keith Swan left with my mother about his family tree. (We might be related) :)

Thank you also for directing me to at the NLA.  It is a great resource that I had forgotten. I have also found some information on www.ancestry.com but there is an upfront cost to delve deeper on that site. 

Cheers
