I suppose it's also possible that Margaret and Mary's father was married twice so they'd have different mothers, but I have no way of verifying that. Mary herself did have alot of kids - 11.
Also, note that the birthplace of Cork I mentioned comes from "family folklore." Although a large number of those named Callaghan do come from Cork, I've never seen a document that verified Mary or Margaret were born in Cork. Mayo also had a pretty sizable number of Callaghan families too based on the Griffith's summary data I've seen on Ireland.com. So, Dromtarrif could be just as likely (is that in Mayo or somewhere else?).
One researcher in Ireland (who I have no way of contacting) named Noel Morley somehow had information saying that at least at some point the Callaghans were in Lakehill, Knock, Mayo, too. |
