TULLYHOGUE O’HAGAN OF TULLYHOGUE !reported 21/9/1963 Dungannon Observer
ReplyDelete1958 report
Five years ago a cashier in West Bromwich,Corporation transport department applied for his own coat of arms and got it.Now the college of Arms advises in the ‘London Gazette’ he has a double-barrelled surname.Mr John O’Hagan,of Tullhogue ,Ruskin Street West Bromwich,traced back his family history 250 years and found that the clan O’Hagan of Tullyhogue were one-time law-givers to the O’Neills,Princes of Ulster.As the last of his generation in his branch of the clan,he was keen to ensure that the clan did not again fall into obscurity.After many visits to the Royal College of Heralds he received a gold-sealed parchment scroll granting him his coat of arms(which subsequently appeared on his private notepaper)His new surname,assumed last month by deed poll:Tullyhogue O’Hagan.
