WOW!

Elizabeth Callahan, born September 8, 1873 in County Leitrim, Ireland, parents James Callahan and Catherine Leahy, came to America in 1888, and married John Tucker in 1892 in Newark New Jersey and had 4 children with him.  Then he left (or died).  She married someone else (don't know his name), but he died.  Then she married  Mr. Sloan (don't know first name).  He also died.  I remember her, a widow, my great grandmother, and sat with her in Brooklyn in 1958 in her apartment, but I have no photos.  She died in Brooklyn April 25, 1963.

I am guessing that we have the same great grandmother!

John Tucker, born in County Longford, Ireland, (don't know the town) iin (1870 (or 1869)), parents Andrew Tucker and Ann Casey, married someone first (don't know who or if in Ireland or USA.)  Then he married Elizabeth Callahan in 1892 in Newark New Jersey.  He left her after fathering 4 children.  One of those children was George Tucker, my grandfather,  born September 27, 1900 in Brooklyn, who married Mae McDemott  in Brooklyn and had 4 children and who died July 13, 1961 in Brooklyn. 

I am guessing that we have the same great grandfather.  Who was your great grandmother  married to John Tucker?

I think the marriage tootsiepie found in granard longford for andrew tougher is my great great grandparents as I got the marriage certificate for their son my grandfather as follows in the US : TUCKER, John Age: 22 years Marriage
Wife: Elizabeth CALLAHAN Age: 19 years
Marriage Date: 19 Jun 1892 Recorded in: Saint
Patricks Pro-Cathedral-Catholic Church, Newark, Essex, New Jersey
Husb's Birthplace: Ireland
Wife's Birthplace: Ireland
Husband previously married
Husband's Father: Andrew TUCKER
Husband's Mother: Ann CASEY
Wife's Father: James CALLAHAN
Wife's Mother: Catherine LEAHY
Source: FHL Number 1398553 Dates: 1895-1895

the question is why would their son john list it as tucker if it was indeed tougher? odd how would one go about finding the grave in granard and death dates for andrew and ann his parents? this is a big mystery also do imiigration records have parents names and place of birth?  and what resources are there in ireland online to research ?

You've already a long thread for John Tucker so I've merged the post you just put under Resource link for Granard to the existing thread.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
