Roscommon and Cork are both counties. My Callaghans came out of Roscommon
County--associated parish, district, and townland names include Tibohine, Frenchpark,
Castlerea, Fairymount, Cloonfad, Lisdrumneil, Lissacurkia, Lisduff and Grallah. I'm
just throwing all those names at you in case they may ring a bill. I know that some of my
ancestors (Callaghans and others) ended up in the "Wigans" location you
reference. Best site to start with for Roscommon research is
www.leitrim-roscommon.com.
Your best bet is to work backwards from what you know, e.g., parents, then grandparents,
etc. (including sibling lines). Good luck!
