The emails keep coming
Even though this blog may have had a bit of a hiatus, the emails from people connected to the family keep coming. I received one from Mark Hannagan's daughter, Rebecca, back in February, and one from Adele McKersey in late May.
Adele wrote:
I have been in contact with Colleen O'Rourke who I discovered had a match to my Grandfather Charles John Francis Hannagan. Today I received an impressive lot of certificates from which she kindly sent to me in the UK related to relevant marriages of my family and also the address of your blogspot.
I was looking at the family tree as there is a lot I don't know about my my Mother's family.I noticed you don't have my brother Kevin who is two years younger than me on your tree and also a lot of the next generation. If you are interested I can send you the missing names .. just let me know.
I've written to Adele to say Yes, I'd love to hear some more about this part of the family. Her mother was a Hazel Hannagan, who was the daughter of Charles Hannagan Snr (as opposed to my grandfather, who was also a Charles Hannagan). Her grandfather was Francis Hannagan, who was born in Ireland, in 1825. And he's the son of a William Hannagan, whose birth year we're not sure of, but it must be sometime around the late 1700s and early 1800s.
The family on this side is rather complicated - Francis had two wives, and Charles appears to have had three - with children all over the place from these unions. No wonder there are so many Hannagans!

Mark Hannagan turns 50
His sister, Jane, has written:
We have just come back from Cambridge, having gathered all my siblings to celebrate Mark's 50th, or, as he says, Chris' 52nd. Great catch up with all.
Well, there you go. These people who were toddlers only a little while ago are now turning 50 and 52. Scary.
I've sent an email to all those on my address list to see if there's any interest in another family reunion. A small amount of response so far, but some response at least!

Anngow news
Things have been quiet on the Hannagan front of late, both because I haven't added anything, and because there hasn't been much coming through to put on.Today, however, Barbara Anngow wrote:
Mark and I have just spent a lovely few days down in Dunedin with the family in welcoming our third beautiful grandchild. Toia Barbara was born on Good Friday to our eldest daughter Cara and her partner Matt. Cara and Toia are doing great and Shayla just adores her little sister.
The photo above is of Barbara and Mark's first grandchild, Oceania, holding Toia.The one on the right is Shayla with her new sister.
