Hi Patzy

 

When you click the link I sent in the last message, a list of books will come up.  It's the very first one in the list.  As I said, you can download pages you want from it. 

 

Marian

Thanks Marian, I read through all the Armstrongs but couldnt find any connection. As this information of Bridget Armstrong is of word of mouth passed down the generations I will leave it rest until more is uncovered. Im grateful for your help, very grateful indeed. Patzy C

You're welcome, Patzy.  Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.  

 

Best wishes

Marian

Marian I see what you mean, Oh my word! James Callaghan married a Armstrong (Gentry) &  Armstrongs owned land in same area of Tipp lol. Now i have to figure out my next move Hmmmm?

Thank you yet again.

Hello Marian well as yet Ive had no luck with Callaghan & Armstrong however I will keep going.

Thought I had best post a few more details about James Callaghan b 1901. These names and dates have been

given to me so Im not a 100% sure on the follow info, but you never know someone could read this post and see a connection .... as you can tell Im a optimist LOL.

 

James Callaghan had several brothers and sisters Johanna b1908(a definate, seen her grave) Patrick b c1910, Elizabeth b c1911.  John b c1912. Thomas b c1913.  Margaret b c1914.  Molly b c1915.

Johanna maried Joseph Grace.

Thomas married Constance (Connie) Whelan.

Margaret married John Norris.

Hi everyone.

I was uncertain of the actual town that my Grandfather James Callaghan was born in so I named a few/areas in previous posts.

I know now he was born 1901 in Urlingford, his cert confirms Margaret Nolan was his mother too. Its nice to know somethings are correct as we all get a little worried that we may have been given the wrong information from relatives. Yet still no sign of these Callaghans anywhere in Urlingford. On his birth cert his name is spelt Callahan yet on his marriage cert his name is spelt O`Callaghan. Just proves to search for all variants.

Thanks Patzy C

Hi managers, Id like to make a correction on the very first post I made here on EIFS please. 

I have found that I have been looking for the wrong person for over three years!!! Not sure whether to laugh or cry really, I suppose I should be grateful I found out now and not ten years down the line  

I have been looking for James Callaghan born c1850 married to Bridget Armstrong born  c1850 -  the marraige cert of their son James states father as JOHN CALLAGHAN!!! All the other info in previous posts is correct.

Thanks for your time. Best wishes Patzy C x

Hi Patzy these things happen,we sometimes get Misleading Info From a Relly.And this is what throws Everyone Out.

Take care Will be in touch soon

Hello Managers. Yes Mike I suppose this happens a lot, it was soul destroying at first but once it sunk in I decided to take this new information buy the horns and Im needing help or advice please.

 

Yesterday I stumbled across a John & Bridget Callaghan - Garrymore. Cappalough. Co.Laois in the 1901 census. This is the first time Ive come across a John  & Bridget together! Its a long shot I know but I need to find something more if only to rule this couple out.  If I can find either the marraige/death of Bridget Armstrong & John Callaghan in Co.Laois or the birth of the son James c1873 or infact ANYTHING then I know Ive got my ancestors. I have also found Callaghans in Mountmellick not far from Cappalough Co.Laois.

Can you help or point me in the right direction. Heres hoping & thank you Patzy C 

 

Patsy before looking in other counties,you really need to check.Tipperary or Kilkenny Thoroughly.There were Definately Armstrong family in Tipperary

Dear Mike your more than likely right ...... but keep in mind Bridget & John had James in 1873, she must have been born at least 1854/5.  Unfortunately Bridget b 1871 Holycross is too late.

I have tried for their marriage in both Tipperary and Kilkenny, yes there is lots of John Callaghans and Bridget Armstrongs marriages but none are of the same year in either County.

I have sat for hours searching possible matches on the IGI, mainly on Irish Family History Foundation through every Bridget/Biddy/Bridgetam Armstrong marriage in every parish/district available (may sound insane) in every County online.

That leaves the Counties that arent yet avaiable online including Laois. So I hope you see why I asked for help in this but if your sure Im looking in the wrong place Ill sit and wait. Your usually right ha ha.

Thanks Patzy C

Hi Patsy Thanks for your Reply.Yes i realised that Bridget was Later i just used as an example.
