Hi,

I am a descendent (probably) of J B Geoghegan. My great, great great grandmother was Kathleen Birchall Geoghegan, daughter of Joseph Bryan and Mary Ann Birchall. Kathleen was known as Kate and married Matthew 'Merry Matt' Hall, a performer and theatre manager - all 5 of their children followed them into the theatre as well.

Unfortunately no father's name is given on Kathleens birth ceritificate, won which she is simply Birchall(1854 West Derby, Lancs (8b 389))
but to all intents and purposes J B was her father. From 1861 he was living with her mtoher, and fathered most of he

I've been doing quite a bit of research on Joseph Bryan and his family, and I'd be fascinated to hear anything you have found out that might be of interest to me and my family tree! Reply to the thread :)

Thanks,

Lauren
