Re: Margaret O’CallaghanUS records but
« Reply #9 on: Thursday 25 July 24 13:26 BST (UK) »
There are public trees which show Doreen Margaret Callahan.
They show that she married Vernon Craighead Davis.
One has parents Walter and Alice Maude but no records.
2 others have mother Margaret O’Callaghan but no supporting records.

Might there be Australian records showing Margaret and Doreen together?

I don’t have access to US records - just bare minimum but there seems to be a Margaret A Callahan birth and baptism. There is a tree indicating that she is Margaret Alice and parents are shown.
However, I searched for  1911 but I can’t see any date to check but there may be other birth entries around 1911 in the general area.

There's a Margaret Alice Callahan born in Cambridge on 20 Mar. 1911 to Charles Durgin Callahan and Minnie H. Seyter, so that doesn't seem to fit.  The only other Callahan born in Cambridge in 1911 was Grace Agnes Callahan born to Daniel Callahan and Ellen O'Connell.

Doreen Margaret is listed on Margaret’s death certificate as the child from the 1st marriage. I also
checked the electoral rolls and Doreen and husband Vernon are living at the same address as
Margaret and Thomas in 1934 and 1936. One of the family funeral notices for my g.grandfather
John O’Callaghan in 1943 mentions Mr T. Kerley (spelt Curley in the paper) and Mrs D. Davis.

Thank you Heywood and Shellyesq for all you help.
