Hi Robert,
I replied to your other post...I cannot locate you at your e-mail address. I think I may
have a connection. The son I refer to below who left home did go to Scotland in the
80's. He does not live in Sydney any longer....he is in his 70's. I hope
there's a connection. Please e-mail me if you get this message:
I am trying to find out information about Callaghans in Australia, specifically Sydney in
the 30's onwards. I believe there was a family who sailed from Ireland to Australia
around this time. There was a father who was in the Navy at some point with the British.
He had a few sons...I believe one was named Patrick, who I believe may have been the
eldest and possibly a pilot. One was possibly called Michael, one possibly Dennis. One
of the sons (Michael I think) left home and never returned. I believe their mother's
name was Kelly. It is my understanding that she died giving birth to the one son who left
and never returned. It is also my understanding that the father re-married and the boys
had a step-mother. THe family had some sort of construction business. They also had a
car lot, or sold or fixed cars. The father was also a "Golden Glove" champion
(boxing) or so I've been told.
