I'm new to the Callaghan list. For many years I have been trying to
establish some background on my GGGrandfather Bartholemew CALLAGHAN who was
born about 1845. by 1872 he was living in Bermondsey (Surrey) South London
with Eliza CROSSMAN where they had a son Richard CALLAGHAN. I cannot find
Bartholemew in the 1871 or 1861 census. He died in a Thames Wharf accident
in 1875 so that I do not have a census source to confirm his origins. Family
opinion is that he was corn in Cork and came to the UK with brothers Matthew
and Patrick - I do have a photograph which I think is of Patrick and
Bartholemew. There is an IGI christening entry for a Bartholemew CALLAGHAN
in Cork RC Cathedral Dec 1845 but I have no way of knowing if this is the
same person.
Any information greatly appreciated.
