Narrative

William's brother Timothy was born in Roscrea Parish, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Likely that is where William was born also. There aren't any records for this time period at familysearch.org or ancestry.com, as of Oct 2013, but there may be church records availabie, either in Ireland or on microfilm. They might also be at one of the pay sites specializing in Irish records.

1889: directory at ancestry.com is not helpful
1890 directory:
Wire crossed Broadway at 2369 Broadway
Harvard crossed Broadway at 2590 Broadway
so these addresses are in Newburgh
1891: Egan Ellen, Mrs. saloon 2323 Spafford
[no Wm Egan/Eagan in the list. so it looks like Ellen took over the saloon]
Google Maps, Oct 2013: Spafford Road today runs parallel to Broadway in the E 78th street range. Wire Ave runs off Broadway today at about 7850 Broadway. So they are all in walking distance of each other.
