I am looking for my Great Grandparents John and Hannah O'Callaghan and James and Hannah O'Callaghan. All lived in Cork city between 1828 and 1917 John was an engine driver and James a coachman. please can any one give me any info:about these people.According to John and Hannah Marriage reg: John's father was called Charles and Hannah's father was called Jeremiah O'Regan but no mothers names are recorded. The wedding was in St Marys on the 25th Febuary 1865.

James married Hannah Dooley from Limerick in 1861 at Fermoy.

Mick,

in the 1911 census there is a John O'Callaghan retired engine driver with wife Hannah. In 1911 they had been married 43 years, had 10 children of whom 6 were alive.

You would need to decide whether or not this is the right family.

This John O'Callaghan died in 1917 and you can view the entry for free on irishgenealogy.ie but I assume you already have it.

There is a marriage entry for a John O'Callaghan in 1867 in Cork but the image is not available so you would need to follow the link and order the cert to see if it is the right person.

I hope this helps.
