Message Board Post:
I have only just come across this item on the messageboard.
I researched the above for an author and the book was published in April this year. It is
called 'Running the Show - British Colonial Governor' by Stephanie Williams and is
published by Penguin - Viking. Ther eis ahcapter on 'Thomas' in this.
I think in some of those missing years he was in London - on leave - due to ill health.
It was about 1871 that he married Alice Arnold of Gravesend (there is quite a bit about
her family on the Gravesend website - just look for anything 'Arnold.' Her father
a JP was Mayor eight times!
JTF Callaghan died in 1881 in a hotel in New York shortly (about three hours) after
arriving there on his way back to England. You can find the report in the New York Times
archives available online.
I can let you have a few more details if you are still looking for them. I am going
through my resaearch this weekend for someone else so it will be no trouble.
