James Coghlan, born in Wexford in 1827. Spent his early years at sea before migrating to Australia in 1853. Any information on his early life in Ireland and the names of his parents would be much appreciated,

Hi Brian
I couldn't find a birth/baptism record of James Coghlan in Wexford 1827 (+ - 10 years) on www.rootsireland.ie/
The Tithe Applotments (free online) have 6 Coghlans in Wexford in 1833
I wonder if 1 of them is James's father.
There are 3 public member trees on ancestry.com (McAllister, O'Brien & McAllister Coghlan Noyes Tighe) which have James's birth as 5th October 1827 & parents William Coghlan and Anastasia Sinnott
They also have William's birth 4 Oct 1769 Wexford & father John born 1740 about 1740 Wexford but I could not find these either. There are no Williams in the Tithe Applotments mentioned above.
