This is the family Michael Coogan.  He was born in 
Gloucestershire, England, and later began of life of crime that 
took him half way around the world.  He lived in the United 
Kingdom, Cape Colony (South Africa) and Australia.  He may also 
have lived in the United States.

Michael's execution in New South Wales, Australia, was 
documented, providing a valuable glimpse into the life of this 
wayward Coogan!

We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and 
to take over the search!
