My great great grandmother was Mary McElroy Callahan born approximately 1830 in Ireland.
She was married to Patrick Callahan who was the son of Charles Callaghan and Catherine
Byrnes.
Mary's obituary states that she was from the Parish of Clonallen in County Down. Mary
was born a McElroy not a Callahan so I'm not sure if she met Patrick Callahan in
Ireland. She probably did since they both came to America in the early 1850s.
So...I think my Callaghans originated in County Down but I don't have a lot of
information except the names Charles Callahan and Catherine Byrnes.
