Looking for details of James Henry Haggan born approx 1885 in Carrickfergus, son of James Henry Haggan and either Mary Ann (nee Kane) or Jeminia (nee Parke), his birth was never registered. He married Marthe Jane Connor in 1906 and it says he was full age on his marriage certificate. he had one daughter Martha Jane born in northern Ireland. He joined the Army possibly the Royal Irish Rifles and then was in the Medical Corp, the last I have managed to trace back was that he was in the Coventry area in the 1920's then the research has gone cold. Did he re-marry without getting a divorce, as I do have photographs of my late Aunts in their teens somewhere in England with an elderly couple and also other people around their same age.
His family here in Northern Ireland - descendants of Martha Jane have no knowledge of what happened to James Henry as he was never talked about or even mentioned. they would also love to know what happened to him.
Any information on him would be very helpful as I have all details on his siblings, descendants, etc and just need his information to complete the "puzzle"!
Can anyone help me in tracing James Henry Haggan/Hagan as I do have already traced over 300 relatives in my Haggan family and am keen to find out more about James Henry.

Hiyas
I am not going to be any use i doubt, but i am also looking for a robert haggan/hagan born about same time and come from Carrickfergus, Co Antrim.
The robert im seeking married a Winifred Alexandra and went on to have 10 children.
I dont know anything else about him although i have tracked a good lead i just so hope they get back to me, then i shall know a lot more.
Anyway now i have prattled on.
I was told today my robert although his name was haggan he didnt like it and removed a 'g' which has made it hard to trace him up till now.
I will keep your name and let you know if anything come up :)

Still not very helpful but was told late last night by my father in law that his dad (robert) was in irish Guards.
was born in 1903 and i have already added rest!
so there is a very good chance we are seeing the same robert now i think?
