I have been trying to locate my Father, Brian Francis Monaghan born in New Zealand (1941) for many years. I am one of his two other sons, Craig and Dean. My Mother is Lynette Ell.
I was shocked to see there is a family history on this site naming his father, George Patrick Charles Monaghan and relatives beyond as I had always been told his father was an Orphan.
Brian has siblings - Linda, John, Sheryl and Paul, Sheryl has past. The last time I saw Brian it was by chance, his Mum Peggy was in a hospital in Sydney in 1995, she has since past. I have since tried to find him.
I would like to find my Father, I would like him to meet my sons, I would like a chance to know him and for him to know me, life is too short.
Whoever provided the information on George Patrick Charles Monaghan - please e-mail me. Or Dad please make contact.

I am searching for any information on my grandfather, Horace Malcolm Monaghan. He was born in Randwick NSW Australia in 1896/7 to Walter Charles Monaghan and Theodosia Elizabeth Thorley. His brother were Charles E, Walter T and Harold. His sisters were Violet, Florence E and Edith. He passed away in 1967.
Walter Charles Monaghan came to Australia from New Zealand and settled initially in Newcastle, NSW where he met and married Theodosia. They moved to Sydney and settled around Randwick.
Horace married Mary Springhall in 1920 and they had two sons Harold and Ronald Eric. They were divorced in 1929.
Because ofo the marriage break-up I did not have the pleasure of knowing my grandfather and I would appreciate any information.
