Thomas John Callan, born 25 August 1873 in NY and died 19 June 1945 in San Francisco,
California. He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Columa, California.
Yes, Anna was in Brooklyn in 1892. Here is the census data:
1892 Kings Co. New York 17th Ward (Greenpoint) Census Eagle Street
Ann Callan, age 54, Ireland
Annie Callan, age 26, US
Kate Callan, age 24, US
James Callan, age 22, US, Turner
Lena Callan, age 20, US
Thomas Callan, age 18, US, Laborer
Lizzie Callan, age 16, US
Elizabath Callan, age 14, US
I have no positive information on who Lizzie Callan, age 16, is. The best possibility is
that she is the wife of Thomas, age 18, who is my great grandfather. He married Elizabeth
Williams who was always called Lizzie. However, she was actually two years older than
Thomas, and I have never found a marriage record. I can't imagine that the family
named a daughter Lizzie and two years later named another daughter Elizabeth.
Has anyone heard of a Gertie Flynn? A relative told me that her mother remembered visitng
at Gertie Flynn when she was a child.
This is getting to be a very interesting "conversation."
