Hi,

I believe that this may aslo be my  line. Daniel Callaghan  s/o Owen of coolcross  sometimes Culcross, Clonmany emmigrated to Australia 1885. On arrivial stated he had a brother John then living in Tamworth. I am in UK now and wont be back to Australia to early June. I have more information - happy to share. Some of it is on my web site www.terrycallaghan.net -  go to the 'about' page and follow the link at the bottom of the page.

I believe this could be my line also, My James Callaghan was born in Coolcross and married Catherine Toland of Rasheeny in 1858.  Their names of their childrens were James, john , Daniel , Susan , Anthony , Elizabeth .  Ring any bells?

[MJ53]

I have a Susan Toland married Micheal Doherty parents of Bridget 1827 married John Callaghan 1825 the whole family came to Australia 1866 their referee was Bridget's Brother Patrick. There is probably a relationship as some of Bridget and John's kids have same names James, John, Daniel and Susan. All from Coolcross. Wondering if your James isn't my Johns brother was their father John (Owen).  My John also had a brother Daniel.

[sdevlin850]

I don't know James father, the fathers names are not listed on their marriage.  James best man/witness was a Daniel Callaghan. 
They had a daughter Elizabeth, the sponsors were a Daniel and Sarah Callaghan. 
So was your Johns father called John and his father was Owen?
