    3. Hi, what a wonderful way to say thanks to the old (I don't mean in age) admin Andrew and Hi to the new one who is Chris. This is what used to be called a "Roll Call" on some lists and it got things going!! My family name is O'Callaghan and my Great Grandfather James was born in "Cork Island".that's all it says on his death certificate but I'm assuming it means "Cork Ireland". He died at the age of 96 in 1910 with birth date being 1814, but on various census records his birth year is listed as 1816, 1818, 1820 and 1822. See my dilemma. He married Anne Graham and she was born in 1830 but I have no marriage date but she did arrive in Canada in 1850. James was a Liveryman. Their children were born between 1860 to 1874 and all born in Canada. Names that are consistent throughout the family are Mary, Bridget, Margaret, James, Cornelius, Emmett and Daniel. There is also a record of a John O'Callaghan who arrived about the same time as James and his name was John, born 1819 in Ireland and was also a Liveryman, could they be brothers. His wife was Isabella, born 1836 in Ireland and they had a son Robert born about 1857 in Ireland. In the obituary for James he is listed as a very active Member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Hope someone can help. Thanks. And lots of Good Luck Chris!!! Rita
