Looking for records of Egan family from Dublin

Query by Lag

I am researching my gr gr grandfather born James Christopher Egan Dublin, Ireland circa 1827/28. Recently we have found a James Egan convict who came to Tasmania Australia and noted his father as James Egan boot/shoe maker. Brother of James listed as Thomas and sister Maryanne. James married Sarah McVeigh in Melbourne Victoria 1854 and the family moved around Victoria on stations, where sadly two babes died as well as Sarah's death in 1865. After 1864 the children were fostered out and it is believed James C Egan moved around Vic and possibly Bourke NSW. He is noted as a carrier and teamster on my gr grandfather Arthur Edward Egan's death and marriage cert. We have found no leads is Bourke NSW for a James who fits our James. The only other possible lead is a death of a James Egan buried Maryborough Victoria, but not enough concrete evidence. We have looked at many towns in Vic and cannot find a match. If anyone can suggest anymore ideas for my never-ending search I would be truly grateful. Many a brick wall has been hit, but I live in hope that James will be found some day. If anyone can search BDM or church records (catholic) in Dublin that would be great!

For anyone researching EGAN family name - A James Egan born 1886 in Dundein shows up in my family resaerch when he married Emily Jane ( Jean) Whyte in 1931. Have information on the Whyte -Egan marriage and descendants. Not sure if this line connects with Australian line but someone else may be able to make this connection
