Hi Geoff: My McCallister conection goes a way back to when my Great-Grandfather ANDREW MAHER married a MARJORIE McCALLISTER at Saint Malachy's Roman Catholic Church in Saint John, N.B. on FEB. 14, 1846. I'm afraid that's all I have on the McCallister side of this union, other than to quote hereunder the brief obituary which appeared in the June 15, 1901 Edition on the "New Freeman": "Mrs. M. Maher, relict of Andrew Maher,died on Sunday at her son's "residence, 257 Brussels Street. The deceased lady was a native of "Ireland and resident of St. John for upwards of half a century. "She is survived by two sons, Andrew -(this is my Grand-Father)- a Western "Union lineman, and James, an electrician in Boston. "The funeral took place on Tuesday morning and was very largely attended. "The body was taken to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, where "the prayers for the dead were read by the Rev. Father Poirier. Internment was "made in the old Cathoilc burying ground. (This would be St. Mary's Cemetery) The only additional information I can offer is that their marriage was performed "under license"; not banns, and the recorded witnesses were: Michael Whalen; Eliza Whalen and Daniel Driscoll. I regret that the above is probably not too helpful to your research on the McCallister family of Saint John but if you wish to persue the MAHER side of this union please do not hesitate to contact me as I do have vital statistics, on same, up to the present time. Kindest regards, Pete Maher
