I have been looking for a Thomas Grogan (born ireland 1844) and lived in Dundee, Scotland. His first wife died a couple of years after marriage but a son William Grogan was born. He remarried in 1873 in Dundee and had 4 children. I cannot find Thomas on any census or a death certificate. i know he was a seaman but that is all I know. I have been searching for him for years but running out of avenues to check. Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks Lorna

Hi there, I found a Thomas Grogan born in 1841 Ireland and living in Blackburn on the 1891 census as a boarder, could be a possibility?!

Could this be him it is on the LDS site, Thomas Grogan birth 1844 Labasheeda Clare Ireland Married 1869 Margaret Molony Labasheeda Clare Ireland One daughter Mary Grogan born 9/07/1870.
