Trying to find Callaghan

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to trace records of the parents of my paternal grandfather Francis Callaghan, who I think was born in the 1880's in Glasgow and worked as a publican in Hutchesonton, Glasgow. He was married to Jane Martin (my grandmother), and they were first cousins. They had three children Peter, Martin Callaghan (my father) as well as Annie and Rosa Callaghan, who were all born in Hutchesonton in Glasgow. My father, Peter left Britain as he was in the Arygyll and Sutherland Highlanders, to fight in India and China. He eventually arrived in South Africa and married my mother Jean Stuart. If anyone knows anything of this branch of the Callaghan family I would be grateful for any information.
