Jackie,
John Callaghan was born in 1860 in County Down Newry, Ireland and baptized at Sheptown
Chapel, Ireland- his parents were Danial and Unknown Cunningham.
Catherine Farrell Callaghan was born in Cheshire England but her parents James Farrell was
born in County Down and Catherne Pickett Farrell was born in County Gallway
John was a blacksmith for the Pullman railroad company. They immigrated to the US in 1890.
I have been trying to find information on their son James born in 1885 in England. He
married an Ann O'Brien and had I believe four children Ruth, James, Evelyn and Bob.
There was a Doctor Pickett who lived in Chicago that was suppose to be a cousin of
Catherine Farrell. That Pickett had originally settled in Joliet Il.If your interested I
could get the names and other information for you.
If anything is familiar please let me know. Trying to find information on such a common
name has been difficult. The name has been mis-spelled on the census several times.
Regards
Ellen
