Hi
could anyone point me in the direction of where to look for my great grandad Thomas Callaghan's birth, he was born in Uggool Village c1872 his father MArtin Callaghan was a farmer but had died by the time Thomas was married in 1898 in Haslingden,Lancashire. I believe he also had a younger brother named Anthony but that's as far as i can get ???

This is the first time I have used this site and I am thrilled to find this entry as I am looking for a Thomas Callaghan in 'Egool'. He was my Gt Gt grandfather- my Gt grandfather Michael moved to Lancashire and my grandmother Mary was born in Wigan.
Can you advise me if I can get in touch with Xavtia and skaville who corresponded on this topic

Hello and welcome to rootschat- how good that you have found something already and I hope that you can sort it out.
If you click on the names of skaville and xavtia, you will get their personal profile. Scroll down and you can see 'send this person a personal message'. Another screen comes up and you can write your message. It is exactly what it says, a personal way of communicating with them.
They may of course just read this and reply to you but the pm way is best in these circumstances.
best wishes

Thank you for your advice- it looks as though it is a really useful website.

Xavtia,
Don't know if its the same person as yours, but I have a Martin Callaghan who was a sponsor at the Knock baptism of Bernard Joseph Kearns on 20 Dec 1882 (Kearns and Callaghan are both in my tree).
Also, FYI, according to the Knock records of baptisms there are the following others:
Sarah Callaghan for Bernard Kearns on 14 Oct 1874
Thomas Callaghan for James Kearns on 23 Jul 1875
Bernard, James and Bernard Joseph were all siblings and the children of Bryan Kearns and Mary Callaghan of Knock. My family stories say Mary (and her sister Margaret) were from the area of Lakehill, Knock, Mayo but that Mary was born in Cork. Unfortunately I do not yet know the names of Mary & Margaret's Callaghan parents.
