Gahagan (Goghan, Goaghan, Geoghegan, Gaughan) Families Identified in the 1851 Liverpool, Howard Sub Registration District, Lancashire, England and Research into their Irish Origins

It is clear that a significant number of the Irish Immigrants in Liverpool Lancashire originated from the Connaught areas of County Mayo and County Roscommon, Ireland. This may be the final destination for a few, a stop on the way to search for work for others and a starting point of a journey abroad for many more.

Special Note: The Geaghan Family that I have listed below is indexed as "Geaghar". The record is difficult to interpret and could go either way. I believe it looks more like Geaghan, so I have included it in this compilation.
