May be a long shot, but I have a John Callaghan, born circa 1840, son of a Patrick
Callaghan and Catherine Brennan (both born Tibohine area, Roscommon County Ireland, 1808
an 1816, respectively). These folks emmigrated at some point to England. My records show
that at least one of their children (Luke) was born in Roscommon c1842, so the move would
have been after 1842. Anyway, son John married an unknown Farrell and they had children
named Patrick and Mary that I am aware of--probably more given the propensity of the
times. A number of my Callaghans ultimately ended up in Chicago, by the way. I also have
a couple of other Callaghan/Farrell marriages in early 1800's.
