So I have come to a bit of a brick wall here,
I am looking for more information on Patrick John Geoghegan, according to what my Grandfather had written down he grew up near Castlebar on or near a farm, He migrated to Australia via the 'Lightning' Clipper ship in around 1866 from Liverpool (could be 1868 but i'm not sure because of conflicting information)
I found an article online by Des Keary from 1984 talking about Patrick since he Migrated to Australia but doesn't talk about his life in Ireland.
He Married Johanna Nolan in Sale in Victoria, Australia in 1869 and from there the history is pretty clear.
I'm trying to locate any records of his residence in Ireland and any information of his parents, I have found some records online that his Father was David Geoghegan and Mother was Winnifred Keane and they both were Born and Died in Mayo county, according to what I can find he was born in 1815 but there are no records of her birth
Thank you :)
