Surnames: Teehan Teahan Tehan
James and Bridgett Teehan (Tehan) (maiden name Burke)
Looking for descendants:
These were my great great grandparents, originally from Co Kerry mid 1880s. From searches to date we know sons James, John and daughter Mary all went to Mass.and married at Amhurst, Hampshire and another son Jeremiah sailed from Ireland to New Zealand on the Edwin Fox. (perhaps with another brother). There were other children including Honora born 20 Oct 1869 in Kerry.
James aged 24 married Julia Heffernan aged 22 on 27 July 1884 - John aged 24 married Mary Shea aged 25 on 18 Sept 1881 and Mary aged 22 married Micheal Garvey aged 24 on 1 June 1884.
We are descendants of Jeremiah who married Margaret Brown and settled in Taranaki N.Z. The surname has been spelt several ways over the years but we have gone by the Teehan version. American records as above seem to be Tehan. Would love to get to know other branches of this interesting family..

My family came from Co Kerry 1870s. The naturalization indicated Tahan spelling. I am decended from Thomas Tahan, later changed to Tehan, in Illinois. I haven't traced any of his brothers/sisters/mother/father yet.
