Ee; your account of Bully Egan-My ancestor William James Egan 1805 died 1868 Dublin, he and one of his sons (Alfred William) were secretary for the Briitish Ireland Steam Packet Co from 1836 for 75 years. It was reported that he was of the same family as Bully. The only other link is that he attended Trinity and suposedly dis inherited by his father because his father had wished for him to enter the clergy.
