Trying to trace the parents of Matthew Callaghan(OCallaghan)
On his son marriage record- Ontario,Canada Marriage 1801-1928 for Stephen Callaghan.
~Carleton>1877>page 115 of 148.
Just say parents- Matthew and Mary.Birthplace Ireland. (I went through all 148 pages
looking for another OCallaghan,and found nothing.) Also on his baptism record~ Ontario
Canada Catholic Church Drouin Collection 1747-1967.
F>Fallowfield>1851-1968 pg 14 of 710
It's so faded looks like Mathew Calahan and Mary Dimon.
Other family trees have said the name was Desmons or Diamond.But no other tree has traced
Matthew farther back.
Any help would be so appreciated....
Also I found a 1851 Census of Canada East.Shows
Mathew 45 married to Mary A age 27.Listed are 5 children- no Stephen. In a 1861
Census....no parents listed, yet all children are the same with a Stephen now 7yrs and a
Cornelious age 5 added.....Could this be the right parents?
