I seem to be a bit late in coming into this discussion but my maiden nae is Coghlan and I understand that my Grandfather Thomas Coghlan mmoved from the Co Cork are to bristol. No dates I'm afraid although my father, Arthur Coghlan, was the youngest of nine children born to Thomas and Suzannah in 1919.
I was interested in the mention previously of Cornelius Coghlan - is this the same who won the Victoria Cross?
