Hello Heywood,
John Callaghan and Catherine Callaghan are brother and sister the children of Jeremiah Callaghan and
Julia Crowley. Their children were Mary b1863, John b1864, Jeremiah b1866/d1871, Julia b1868,
James b1870, Jeremiah b1871, Ellen b1874, Catherine b1876, Hanora b1878, Margaret b1880,
Hannah b1883.

The children of John Callaghan and Mary Goold are
Jeremiah b1839, Ellen b1840, Mary b1843, Julia b1845, James b1847, Catherine b1850,
Honoria b1852, Margaret b1854.
Catherine is the aunty who John and Edmond stayed with after their arrival in Brisbane in 1885.
I haven’t found anything on Daniel Callaghan. I have being trying to find parents for John Callaghan
The families seemed to stick to the tradition naming the 1st son and daughter after the husband’s parents and the 2nd son and daughter after the wife’s parents.

Kind Regards

Hello Shanreagh,
Grandfather John was a Callaghan married to Mary Goold in 1838. The Callaghans and Goolds
were  on neighbouring farms. I have the baptisms for the Callaghans and births for Edmond and
his siblings. My interest to find the actual connection between John and Edmond came from the
funeral notice of John’s aunty, Catherine Callaghan/Luby daughter of John Callaghan and Mary
Goold. Along with John, Edmond was referred to as a nephew.

Kind Regards

Hello Neale, I didn’t want to overload with information I just stated the basics. I have the marriage
for John Callaghan and Mary Goold and the baptisms for their children and most of the records
for the children’s marriage. I don’t have parents for John or Mary.

Kind Regards

I am trying to establish the exact relationship of cousins John O’Callaghan and Edmond Lee who immigrated with a friend to Brisbane in 1885 both stayed with John’s aunt Catherine Callaghan/Luby
after their arrival.
John born 1864, Father Jeremiah born 1839, Mother Julia Crowley, Grandfather John birth unknown
Edmond Lee born 1866, Mother Johanna Callaghan born 1833, Father Eugene Lee, Grandfather Daniel Callaghan birth unknown
Daniel Joseph Lee brother of Edmond was a witness to the marriage of John O’Callaghan and
Ellen Keogh in 1888 in Brisbane, Qld, Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Doreen Margaret is listed on Margaret’s death certificate as the child from the 1st marriage. I also
checked the electoral rolls and Doreen and husband Vernon are living at the same address as
Margaret and Thomas in 1934 and 1936. One of the family funeral notices for my g.grandfather
John O’Callaghan in 1943 mentions Mr T. Kerley (spelt Curley in the paper) and Mrs D. Davis.

Thank you Heywood and Shellyesq for all you help.

Kind Regards

No I don’t have a birth certificate for Doreen I obtained that information from Ancestry. I was hoping
to get her death certificate to see if the father’s name was on there. Margaret and Thomas Kurley’s
wedding certificate in 1922 has Margaret listed as a widow. Her death certificate in 1942 has her
1st marriage in America and only the groom’s surname.

I thought Margaret might have married before going to America but a check on Irish Genealogy
was unsuccessful. It did occur to me that Margaret might not have been married. Doreen Margaret Callahan was born in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts. She married Vernon Craighead Davis in Brisbane on the 30th November, 1932 and died on the 16th August, 1971. However there is no record of death for her on the Qld BDM. The cemetery record shows that she was buried on the 18th August. There is a photo of the plaque on Ancestry. A check of electoral rolls has her living in Brisbane I also checked NSW BDM with no results.

William and James were the sons of James O’Brien and Mary O’Callaghan, Margaret’s sister. They
lived in Castleinch, Cork. I have the census records for them in 1901 and 1911. In the 1911 census there is a William O’Brien working on the Twomey family farm. Twomey’s are related to the OCallaghans.
