William John CALLAGHAN

[Neil Todd]

I only suggest it as a possible, a Laura Callahan married at Blayney in 1912 ref
5132/1912

There is a notable mention in that marriage of John callaghan because there are two both same year, one at BH and one at Dubbo

I have no idea why.

Hi Neil, yea have just been looking at NSW Records and saw where Laura thompson had two different numbers and places.

Our research sure makes us think in all ways, with these twists and turns.

I wonder if i can find a headstone? And see what it says.!!

I know I have looked at a William John Callaghan, but then found different name re father, on NSW records. If i remember rightly that was also at Dubbo.

Thank you.

Well that death in Bombala is not your John/WJ Callaghan as there is a corresponding birth same year as death.

But the marriage of John at BH or Dubbo is worth pursuing as I cannot find a birth for a john that fits the bill in NSW.

Hi Neil.
Thanks for checking death details out Neil.

Do you think if I try and follow Laura Thompson/Callaghan and see where that leads??

Any suggestions.

Thanks rainy.

I think you need to establish if this john is actually William John, or the whole thing may turn into a wild goose chase.

Maybe a wedding cert transcription for that BH marriage. But some more work on Trove first to establish any new clues.

Tomorrow

Good morning Neil.

Yes will look again through Trove and see what may be there.
They are bringing new papers online regularly.

It is so easy to follow a incorrect line.

Thanks for your assistance.

Seems the boy was in Sydney in 1906 see
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=%22William+Callaghan%22&l-australian=y And Crimping I just found out is keeping a low Lodging house and fleecing Emigrants and Sailors
Seems he liked to keep the dollars rolling in, in any manner

Hello Neil.

Thanks, you are doing wonders for me.

Seems like he might be a bit of a ratbag.

But then from what I have found there certainly are some questions re this family.

Perhaps why all the others got away to NZ.

Not sure why, James Callaghan the father is so elusive as well.

Perhaps I will try the Electoral Rolls and see if I can follow that way??
what do you think?

Many thanks rainy
