Hi fellow listers. I am still hoping to find relatives of my father,Francis (Frank) Callaghan born 26 July 1898. He was sent to Canada in 1911 from an orphanage in Stockton-on-tees. His siblings were lice born 1886, Mary Jane b. 1888, Jonathan 1891 and Henry born 1897. There were two children who died as infants. The parents were Thomas Callaghan born about 1856 in Consett and Elizabeth Ann Turner b. 1862 in Blackhill. I have many certificates and some census which I am willing to share with anyone researching the same family. Hoping to hear from someone. Fran
Hi Frances, Jan from Stockton here! I remember we have been in touch before! A suggestion for you! Why not e-mail the local newspaper that covers Stockton and area? It is called The Evening Gazette, and has a Remember When section in their Saturday evening paper. They also have a separate Remember When magazine, that is very popular! Lots of people put in requests and articles to try and find their ancestors etc! I've just had an article and photo in this last week, on behalf of an American lister, who is on this list!! (Hi, R.J.!!) Below is the postal address and the email address of Chris Rooney, who is the Editor for Remember When. If you have any pictures or stories to tell Remember When, email Chris Rooney or write to him at: Remember When, Evening Gazette, Gazette Buildings, Borough, Middlesbrough, TS1 3AZ. You can also telephone him on 01642 234 270. chris.rooney@eveninggazette.co.uk Best wishes Jan Boyes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frances Cook" <frances.cook@sympatico.ca> To: <ENG-DURHAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 12:45 AM Subject: [ENG-DUR] Callaghan Family > Hi fellow listers. > I am still hoping to find relatives of my father,Francis (Frank) Callaghan > born 26 July 1898.
