James Callachor aka Gallagher 1818
James Gallagher’s wife Bridget was born in 1822 and hailed from Drumane on the western side of County Cavan, in the boggy foothills of Cuilcagh Mountain. Her father Hugh Masterson was still alive when she sailed for Sydney but her mother Ellen had passed away.
The Gallaghers sailed upon the Agnes Ewing, a 641-ton three-masted barque chartered by the government of New South Wales to bring skilled workers out to the British colony. Officially called ‘assisted’ or ‘bounty’ migrants, their passage was paid on condition that, upon arrival, they would go to work for a specific person
According to the emigration papers that James Gallagher submitted to the Superintendent of Emigrants in Sydney in 1842, he was born in Rathkenny (or Rakenny), near Cootehill, County Cavan, in 1818. His parents Philip and Mary Gallagher (Callachor) were still resident of Rathkenny when he sailed for Australia.
James's younger brother Philip Callachor had also arrived in Australia and was working as a hawker in Queensland. He later settled at Yetman, north of Sydney, a land famed for the quality of its woolly sheep. His wife Mary, née Fitzgerald, was from Ballylongford, County Kerry
My question is there was another brother Terence I cannot find any information of him and he came to Australia as well. Does anyone know anything would be helpful...
