Hi,
My apologies for the very late reply to your post. I thought I had at the time after
reading it but when I was reviewing some information today I realised that I hadn't.
My great-grandfather, Daniel Caulfield, sometimes said he was born in Lochgilphead,
sometimes Monaghan in Ireland (he was born in Monaghan). I eventually found out that his
oldest brother James and his family lived there for some time. James worked for Customs
and Excise - originally in Belfast, then London, Lochgilphead, Birmingham and then
Wallasey in Cheshire where he died. Daniel's mother died when he was a young child so
he may have lived with James and his family at some stage in Lochgilphead.
I now know that most if not all Caulfield's are from Ireland originally. Since your
message I have received a post from the Caulfield in Lochgilphead on this thread who had
some interesting information on James Caulfield. He is not a relative as far as I am
aware.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Cheers,
Tom.
