Hello!

James Egan was born July 31, 1814 in Ireland and died May 31, 1894 in Southfield, Oakland County, Michigan, USA. James came to America sometime before August of 1842 when he married Penelope McDermott in New Jersey, USA. James' obit reads that he was born "on the banks of the River Shannon, near to Shannon bridge". It also states in his obit that James had a brother living in New York City, New York, USA at the time of his death, but it does not give the brother's name. The obit says that James came to America about 1840. James Egan followed the Roman Catholic faith, attending church at St Mary's Church of Redford, Michigan, USA. He was buried in the parish cemetery, but later was moved to a cemetery in Southfield when the Redford cemetery was closed. On the Oakland County, Michigan, USA death index, it gives James' father's name as Charles Egan and he is said to be dead at that time. No name was given for his mother.

Any information that you might can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to try to help answer as best as I can.
