Hogan Stories and Photos

Thomas Hogan, son of Patrick Hogan

On  the old gravestone erected by Margaret Hogan after 1913,  that once stood in the Hokitika cemetery Westland, New Zealand, were recorded the deaths of   T H O M A S    HOG A N  native of Birr, Kings County (now Co Offaly) Ireland, 10th December 1905, aged 73 years

 K I E R A N   H O G A N  beloved husband of  Margaret Hogan, native of Lusmagh, Birr,  King’s county, Ireland, 28th April 1913, aged 75 years

M A R G A R E T   H O G A N  wife of  Kieran Hogan  native of Bendigo, Australia, 24th December 1932, aged 70 years

K I E R A N  J  O H N  H O G A N son  of Kieran and Margaret Hogan born at Auckland Beach, Stafford, Hokitika, 23rd October 1961, aged 69 years

 The headstone was replaced by the one standing today which lists the names and dates of death only.  It was replaced because my mother, Mary Cowie and her two sisters, Kate and Teresa wished to upgrade the grave for when they were no longer here to attend to it.
This occurred about 1963. 

PRIEST, MORRIS FAMILIES, AUCKLAND N.Z.

I am interested in hearing from June Morris daughter of Sonny Morris,  or  (Priest).    

Stepmother Elsie.   There were four brothers , one of which was Harry.

Members of the Priest or Morris Families are long lost Cousins, who were living in the Auckland area in the 1960’s. Remember visiting you with Elsie.
