Hi Emma
My grandmother Charlotte Calghoon married Francis Callaghan He came from Belfast and my
grandmother came from County Armah. I think they were born around the late 1800's The
name was O'Callaghan my grandmother told me and they dropped the O' She was raised
on a farm so I am thinking that he may have been a farm hand. They came to Glasgow
Scotland and had eight children the oldest one John Callaghan was born at her fathers
property in Ireland the rest were born in Glasgow Scotland I think they lived in an area
called Possil Park and then a street called Stroma Street around the Robroyston area in
Glasgow. John Callaghan son Terrance came to Melbourne Australia with his wife and family
I think there was two boys and a girl I don't know there names Terrance was my cousin.
Terrance married Ray but I don't know her surname. John married Nellie and they
eventually settled in Melbourne where they both died but I not sure when. I remember
Terrance got sick and died at the age of 60 !
I think it was early 1990's his wife Ray is still alive and lives in the ThomasTown
area of Melbourne.My grandfather Francis worked at the Gas works in Glasgow Both my
grandparents are buried at Dalbeith Cemetary in Glasgow Scotland
