All I do know for sure is that my Michael's father was Thomas Callaghan, labourer.
Michael married Julia Gerrard on 16 January 1898 in Navan, Meath. I have his marriage certificate.
Michael died on 8 July 1952 in Keighley, West Yorkshire and is buried along with his wife, son John Thomas (my great grandfather), mother-in-law Ellen Gerrard and Julia's nephew Christopher Gerrard at Utley Cemetery in Keighley.
The age at death was given as 81 meaning that he was born about 1870/1871.
My great grandmother Ada May Callaghan (wife of Thomas) was the informant. I suppose she could have made a mistake and he was actually a bit younger.
What do you think?
