I am searching for a Bridget Egan who sailed to the US from Clare, Ireland in the 1880s with her brother John and sister Mary. Her father was Patrick Egan and her mother Bridget Foran. She married a McNamara and had a child Julie or Julia (I believe) who ultimately traveled to Australia with her Auntie Mary to join the rest of their family, most of whom had emigrated to Australia rather than the US. Neither Julia nor Mary would disclose the whereabouts or the circumstances of Bridget or the McNamaras for unspecified reasons. John Egan died in America (we believe) before 1894. If you feel there could be a connection, I would appreciate hearing from you. Terry Egan
