Hi, Rolymetcalfe
We have a lot of Callans that migrated from Monaghan down to Cavan and are chronicled in
my website
http://www.callanworld.com. However, none named James with that birth year. Our
only James of that era was born in 1835, not 1853. Most of our Callans were emigrating to
USA betwen 1850 and 1880, but there was family of Peter Callan's who stayed behind and
whose decendants still live in that area.
You will find them mentioned in two books on my site, either a book by an ancestor named
Luke Callan, or in a history of Callans and McClarys which I wrote a few years ago. Both
are found at
http://www.callanworld.com/browsemedia.php?mediatypeID=histories
Peter Callan family is mentioned on page 40 and following of this link:
http://www.callanworld.com/histories/Ireland40.pdf
And page 14 and following of this link:
http://www.callanworld.com/histories/CallansAndMcClarys.pdf
If you do find the connection to Callan families who came to Cavan County in the 1700s to
the area of Ballyjamesduff or Kilnaleck, please stay in touch. I would love to update my
website callanworld to include the lost Callans of England!
best regards,
John Callan
