And weirder...

Liverpool Mercury, Mon 12 November 1877 announces the death on Nov 7, at 37 Mill Road, aged 29, James, only survivng son of J B Geoghegan.

ONLY SURVIVING SON???

In fact, he was survived by Henry (d. 1885), John (d. 1886)and Thomas (d. 1896). Interestingly though, James was the last surviving son of JBG by Elizabeth.

I can hardly believe that by this time the two sides of the family weren't aware of each other, so I'm not quite sure what to make of this...
