Callaghans of Corran

Hello Roger,  thank you for your reply and the searches!  I had the info that Daniel had married a Julia Desmond in Bandon in 1883, but I think that this may well be incorrect and that Julia Murphy is a more likely candidate. 
I have had many problems trying to find the Callaghans in the parish records for Ballinhassig, do you know if there are any gaps or holes in these records  - this would be for the 1830 - 1840 period?

This is my father's family, who mostly came to London by the early 1910 - 1920s.  My grandfather's wife, who came from Wexford Town, thought that the Callaghans were " very mountainy "!!!

Best wishes, Bridie.

Hello again Roger, thank you for getting back to me, I had been told in the past by Genealogists in Cork that there were "missing" gaps in the parish entries for Ballinhassig and some other neighbouring parishes, and as I cannot find any baptismal entries for a Catherine Callaghan, whose father was named on her marriage cert in Ballyheader in 1867 as Jerry Callaghan, but whose mother's name is unknown.  In 1867 she gives her age as 27, but as her husband Jeremiah McCarthy, born in 1828 gives his age as 30, perhaps the date should be treated with some caution!  This leaves me thinking that either she was born away from Corran in a different parish altogether, or that her baptism was left out of the parish register.  The problem is that I can find entries in other parishes for a Catherine born to a Jeremiah Callaghan for around 1840, but NOT for her brother and sisters  -  Mary, Honora, Daniel to the same parents.  Would it be feasible, as there are no death records for this period, that her mother died  and Jerry Callaghan had then to marry another?  Only it's very hard to match up putative parents!   Bridie.
