Looking for Info on O'Hagan

Question

Thanks to some people from Wiki Tree I found out who my Nana's Parents. Now I need help Finding out info about them I have names and dates thats all. Can anyone help me find out Birth places?

I need Birth Places for Walter O'Hagan 1875 (About) - 1938 (About) I think he died in York, Canada. Possibly a Military Record if he has one.

I Need Birth Places for Susan O'Hagan (O'Donoghue)  1880-1916 (About and Why she died so young, since my Nana Was Born in 1915)

And I heard Rumors that both my Nana and her husband had something to do with the military so I'll add their info in as well to hope to get Lucky.

 

( Nana) Mary E. Mann (O'Hagan) Dec. 5th 1915 - Jan. 9th 2000 Daughter of Walter and Susan.

Albert E Mann...... Birth Unknown - Sept. 22 1986. Son of Frederick William Mann

Answer 1

Have you looked at death certificates and marriage records to see if they give any indication of where they came from?

Answer 2

You certainly have your work cut out for you, O' surnames seem to be one of the hardest to search!

Marriage Record for Walter O'Hagan

• Walter O'Hagan, clerk, 35, Roman Catholic, residing in Toronto (in the County of York), son of James O'Hagan, merchant, and Elizabeth Madden; married
• Mary Ann O'Donohue, 30, Roman Catholic, daughter of Michael O'Donohue, labourer, and Susan O'Donohue (not sure yet if this is her married or maiden name)
• Married 12 October 1910 in Toronto, Ontario

So with Walter's parents, we can look for Census records:

• 1881 Census, Toronto, Ontario
• 1891 Census, Toronto, Ontario
• 1901 Census, Toronto, Ontario; here Elizabeth is widowed

From the Census records, James was born in Ireland, Elizabeth in Ontario. In true Irish form (I can say this, I'm Irish!!) they had a TON of kids including Walter.

 

Here is a terrible copy of James' death record in 1896. No parents listed.

 

James and Elizabeth were married in 1855 in Toronto. No image available.
