Re: Callaghan Family (Marlfield/Clonmel Area)

If you are searching the 1901 census for Clonmel, note not all the records have been downloaded, quite a chunk is missing. Also part of St Mary's Parish is under Co Waterford, it's the same in Griffiths.
May not be relevant but I did just notice in the 1901 , an Edward Kennally ( could be mis transcribed ) age 27 born in Powerstown, living in Poulnagunoge, Co Waterford ( part of St. Marys Parish )

It sounds like I'll just have to note the date discrepancy and see what further research turns up that can shed some light on it.

TLB, is there a write-up somewhere that notes what's missing from the 1901 and/or 1911 census informaiton currenctly online at the National Archives site?  I had no idea is was not fully complete for Clonmel, and this would have implications for additional areas of my research if other counties are also incomplete.  Also, thank you for the information regarding how some records tagged with County Waterford could be applicable here.  I was getting the impression that some of the land/parish divisions at the time crossed between Tipperary and Waterford, and so now I can focus my research efforts a bit more.  I'll look into the Edward Kennally issue as well.

All the N.A. site says is that missing parts will be downloaded as soon as possible, its been like that for some time, they also say they are going to produce a list of missing parts, but I have never seen one. The only reason I know, about it, was when I was doing my own research and on a visit to N.A. I found what I was looking for and it was not on the website. When I asked why, they said it would be downloaded and that was almost 2 years ago.
I don't know if others on rootschat have had the same problem, it would be interesting to know.

I realize I'm coming to this a little late, but I hope the thread isn't yet considered completely dead.

I came across it when googling "Innocent O'Callaghan" as I try to do every couple of years. Evidently I've let my routine slip of late.

Anyway, if you haven't yet chanced on this, from John Boyle O'Reilly's The Poetry and Song of Ireland, you might find it interesting:

Quote
THOMAS O'DONNELL O'CALLAGHAN was born in 1847, in the town of Kil-
mallock, county Limerick, Ireland, and came to this country in 1866. When
but in his teens he was identified with the Fenian movement in Ireland
and was the Kilmallock correspondent, under the nom de plume "Libertas."
of the Fenian organ, the Dublin Irish People, which was suppressed by
the government. He also wrote some patriotic poetry for the Dublin Irish-
man of those days. Since coming to the United States, Mr. O'Callaghan has
written extensively for the various New York Irish American weeklies and for
the New York dailies, more especially the Daily News, to which he has contri-
buted many of his most characteristic verses. Mr. O'Callaghan is descended
on the mother's side from the celebrated Shawn O'Dhear an Glanna (anglice,
John O'Dwyer of the Glen) known as the Poet Huntsman, who flourished in
Munster in the seventeenth century. His father, Innocent O'Callaghan, was
a celebrated scholar and mathematician of Munster, whose name was familiar
in his day throughout Ireland, and who died in 1868. He is a cousin of the
Irish poet, Doctor Robert Dwyer Joyce.

It's that R.D. Joyce who I'm researching, so if you can cast any light on the whole rat's-nest, in addition to the considerable information already in this thread, I'd be very interested.

I had looked into that Innocent O'Callaghan from Kilmallock some years ago, but never found any information to connect my relatives with him.  There were apparently a few Innocent Callaghans/O'Callaghans located in the area during the early to late 1800s, and so I assume that the name was not as uncommon back then as it has since become.  I also suspect that some of the records that exist out there have have the "Ino." abbreviation transcribed as "Jno." for John, and that this is complicating research as John Callaghan/O'Callaghan is a much more common name.

I know nothing of the Dwyers, but can add that the informant for this Innocent's death in 1868 was a Margaret O'Callaghan living at the same address as him on Main Street in Kilmallock.  Innocent is noted as a widower and schoolteacher who died of bronchitis.
