Hi, I need help with a brick wall. I am searching the family of William Callagan b. 1796 Westminister and Mary (Smith - widow, do not know her maiden name) married St George in the East, London in 1823 and their 3 children, William b. 1826, Mary b.1828 & Edward b.1831 (all born in Ireland). I am not sure where about in Ireland they moved to but by 1837 Mary was deceased, (place unknown) and William remarried to Charlotte Smith in East Stonehouse, Devon. They went on to have several children. In the 1841 census, they are under the surname of Kelligan in Stoke Damerel, and the 1851 census as Callagan in Stoke Damerel. William Snr died in 1854. I am a descendant of Mary Callagan. In the 1851 census, it is a little confusing re, Mary Callagan whether it is William's daughter or the wife of William Jnr. I am trying to find out about William Jnr and Edward Callagan as the seem to have gone missing after the 1851 census. Any help about these 2 brothers would be most appreciated.
