Hi Chris maybe this is the same Patrick we have been looking for Unlil the publication of the 1911 census we had no info re the birth place of James his son in 1853 We knew his father was Patrick from marriage lines but every census until 1991 just said Ireland We would be delighted if you would share your info with us Roly /Liz Metcalfe

Re: Callan from Co Monaghan, Ireland

rolymetcalfe — 2009-07-08 16:21:35Z

Hi thanks for the info If I can make a connection I'll certainly be in touch The place where James settled (esh) had catholic priest training school called Ushaw College We have often wondered if this was the reason they knew about
Esh We certainly can fill your lost Callan's line from 1878 on wards Roly

Re: Callan from Co Monaghan, Ireland

johnecallan — 2009-07-08 12:28:14Z

Hi, Rolymetcalfe
We have a lot of Callans that migrated from Monaghan down to Cavan and are chronicled in my website http://www.callanworld.com. However, none named James with that birth year. Our only James of that era was born in 1835, not 1853. Most of our Callans were emigrating to USA betwen 1850 and 1880, but there was family of Peter Callan's who stayed behind and whose decendants still live in that area.

You will find them mentioned in two books on my site, either a book by an ancestor named Luke Callan, or in a history of Callans and McClarys which I wrote a few years ago. Both are found at http://www.callanworld.com/browsemedia.php?mediatypeID=histo...

Peter Callan family is mentioned on page 40 and following of this link: http://www.callanworld.com/histories/Ireland40.pdf

And page 14 and following of this link: http://www.callanworld.com/histories/CallansAndMcClarys.pdf

If you do find the connection to Callan families who came to Cavan County in the 1700s to the area of Ballyjamesduff or Kilnaleck, please stay in touch. I would love to update my website callanworld to include the lost Callans of England!

best regards,

NutmegGreenwood — 2008-10-21 22:18:57Z

What information are you looking for? Birth registrations? Marriage Registrations? Spouses names? Death years? To answer these, it would help if you sent some specific dates, or at least years with these names. Are they born 1890s, 1930s or 1980s? It will make a difference to those of us who have access to databases that may have your names. All depends on the years you need. Can you send more information for births for this family and let us know what you are hoping to find? Meg G in Oklahoma USA

Rosa Callan

rbnoles — 2008-07-25 17:00:59Z

My wife's ancestor is Rosa Callan who married William Johnston in Rochester, New York 1850. Rosa was six months pregnant at the time; we guess they crossed from Canada to New York to marry. William and Rosa later moved to Illinois.

Her parents are Lawrence Callan and Julia O'Brien Callan who died after 1870 where they are last found on census in Tuscola Co. Michigan living with family of Christopher Callan, who is probably Rosa's brother; a Christopher Callan was witness to Rosa's marriage.

Some of Christopher Callan's descendants went to Missouri; found in early 20th century census records in St. Louis & Webster Grove.

Looking for earlier and additional information on this family. I believe they originally came to Canada, then US. Would love to find immigration records; no luck so far.

Patrick CALLAN & the Lambertville NJ CALLANs?

dcallan135 — 2008-04-03 03:03:26Z

My Great-GGrandfather Patrick Callan lived in Lambertville, New Jersey having arrived state side form Ireland in 1849 and was also a civil war veteran (NJ 7th ).
I am trying to determine if there was any relationship between the Lambertville Callans and other northern New Jersey Callan groups.

Does anyone have any info?

Mike,

I grew up in Trenton and on way home one day I decided what the heck, look for the church in Lambertville thinking that the cemetery was there. I was told it was up on the hill and I made the first left into it. I found Patrick and His wife Ann Sillery (b. 1834 - d. 16 JUL 1907) in about 5 minutes. His daughter Catherine Callan right next to it. Along the road they are on the right side (east and uphill). I have pictures and can send them to you. need email address.

Patrick b. 1829 was Civil War vet, Provate Infantry Company H 6th Regiment NJ Volunteers and served at Gettysburg. Patrick died 2 SEp 1901 Cardiac neuraligo buried St. Johns 5 Sep 1901. Enlisted 19 AUG 1863 discharged 4 JUN 1863

Re: Elizabeth Callan-County Louth, Ireland

dcallan135 — 2008-08-24 08:48:33Z

Please excuse me, where is Irishtown?
Did John Callan b. 1835 emigrate to the USA? If so, when?

My Callan clan was in Lambertville, NJ in 1849 but I don't know much about their life in Ireland nor Patrick's siblings or parents. There is obviously sme connection with Hugh Callan who was already in Lambertville in 1849 but I don't know what.

Re: Elizabeth Callan-County Louth, Ireland

dcallan135 — 2008-08-24 08:40:02Z

Mike,

Good to hear from you again on this page.

I think the only way to figure out the Hugh Callan - Patrick Callan connection is to go through the old church records at the Catholic Church in Lambertville. Patrick, his wife Ann and a relative Catherine (spinster?) are buried in the church cemetery up on the hill above the town. Tom Rue (or was it you?) did the connection between the MeGuires and Callans I believe. He went to Ireland as well to figure out these relationships. That is all I recall. Need birth and death records for the imigrants

Re: Elizabeth Callan-County Louth, Ireland

dcallan135 — 2008-08-22 02:19:35Z

I am looking for Patrick B. 1829 or so siblings, parents (in Ireland) or the relationship to the two Hugh Callans (and other Lambertville or New Hope Callans. Any help there would be appreciated.

John Callan b. Jan 23 1800 Ire d. Mar 4, 1873 Kent CO MI

SNorthridge — 2008-05-03 08:15:45Z

Looking for information on John Callan. His wife was named Mary ? b. 1819 Ire d. 1902 Kent Co MI. I have a son named Edward Callan b. Aug 1856 d. March 4, 1884.

John Callan's brother was Peter Callan b. March 1811 d. Aug 4, 1889.

There is also a Mary Callan d. Oct 16, 1863 (may be daughter of Christopher Callan- as there is also a Baby Callan nearby as well).

They are all buried in St. Andrews Cemetery in Grand Rapids MI.

My 3rd great grandfather was Christopher J Callan b. 1845 d. 1928. I wonder if he is connected to this family but not sure how. If anyone has information I would appreciate the help.

John, Mary, Edward, and Peter are all buried together. Nearby is Christopher Callan with his wife and a couple of their children. I found that during the mid 1850s that there was also a Timothy Callan who arrived around the same time as John Callan.

I have relatives in Ardee, Co Louth who are Callans, one 'John Callan' is my GGGRANDFATHER b. approx 1835 d. Nov 1895. I know he married 'Anne Keelan' who died 8th March 1919. They lived in Irishtown. I believe they had 4 children: John, Mary, Laurence (Lal) and Catherine(Katie). Laurence died in U.S.A in 1968 and was born 1887. Any connections?

Re: Elizabeth Callan-County Louth, Ireland

Irishtown is a few mile outside Ardee, Co. Louth. Near Lambtown. John didn't emigrate to the USA but his son Laurence did.

Re: Elizabeth Callan-County Louth, Ireland

berniebreen2004 — 2008-08-24 08:47:37Z

I found a 'Lawrence Callan' and a 'Rose Callan' in the Ellis Island records who arrived on the same ship the same day. On the Ethnicity column is says CIT. DISCH. ON PIER. I dont know what this means. Can't figure out if they were siblings or a married couple. Any connections there?

Re: Elizabeth Callan-County Louth, Ireland

berniebreen2004 — 2008-08-24 08:42:45Z

Thank you,

I contacted Ardee Parochial House and they have baptism records which date back to 1700's. They're going to have a look for John Callan and will be able to tell me if Hugh was his father. Should know by Tuesday next week.

Will be in touch,

Thanks again,

Re: Elizabeth Callan-County Louth, Ireland

abbottmdp — 2008-08-24 08:41:30Z

As you indicated, Tom Rue made the McGuire-Callan connection. That is the only Callan connection in my line, so (having over 23,000 folks in my file, I haven't spent a lot of time tracking down other connections.

I spent two rainy days at Mt Hope/St. John's Cemetery in Lambertville, but did not see Patrick and Ann. Interestingly, there is a Catherine with Michael McGuire and Mary Callan. Guess I'll have to visit Lambertville again.

The names I do have from Mt. Hope are:

Nan E. 1906-1985
Harry J. 1879-1966
Emma C. 1882-1964
Mary A. 1919-
Joseph M. 1874-1940
Julia abt 1823-1878 (wife of John)
James abt 1851-1863 (son of John and Julia)
Hugh
Elizabeth
Ann
Margaret
Mary (McGuire) Callan 1829-1909

If I find anything new, I'll be sure to pass it along, and hope you all do the same.

Re: Callan or Callen of Woonsocket, Rhode Island

hb1927 — 2008-04-21 19:35:21Z

Mr. Lynch:

I am not related to the Callans (that I know of), but my paternalGrandmother, Ann Callahan, daughter of Philip Callahan and Mary Smith of Coolkill, emigrated to the U.S. when in her early teens (circa 1890s). She lived on a farm just down the lane from the old Callan property -- next to and across from Maeve Lynch's present home. Her brother (my Great Uncle) Michael, I am told, passed away in the still existing (but derelict) cottage across from Maeve that is currently owned by one of the Fays.

I have been trying to get in touch with you for the past few years, as Jimmy Lynch of Coolkill told me to contact you, indicating you might have more information about my family. My grandfather was Hugh Mulligan, brother of Owen, from Kilnaleck and Crosserlough. His wife, my grandmother above, went to Woonsocket, R.I. at around 12-13 years of age and, I am told, worked as a domestic for the Callan family (having been brought over by her older sister).

My wife and I have been to Cavan a number of times over the past six years and have obtained all that is available record-wise in Cavan (including reading Luke Callan's self-penned "Ireland After 40 Years"). My Cavan lineage is the Mulligan, Callahan, Smith, and Lynch families.

Needless to say, I would be grateful to make contact with you ...

(I live in Indiana and may be reached at hb1927@gmail.com. Jimmy Lynch (Coolkill) gave me the impression that you live in Virginia)
Sincerely,

Tom Mulligan
