Callan & Gollihar, 1800's Ireland then UK
« on: Wednesday 11 August 10 04:38 BST (UK) »
Like a needle in a hay stack I expect but here goes!  ???

HELP! ???
I need some help please to determine where my Irish ancestors came from. I'm looking for my GG Grandparents.

I have always thought it was in the region of the South of Ireland but exactly where I don't know.
This is what I think is correct but I'm really not sure -

Daniel Gollihar

1861 census

7 May Back Court? Shoreditch
Daniel GOLLIHAR 42 builders labourer Ireland
Honora 46 Ireland
James 22 Builders labourer Fulham
Daniel 15 gun maker
Bridget 13
Ellen 8
All children born Fulham and apparently went by the name of Goller

Ellen Goller was my GGrandmother, she married: - Michael Callan, Plaisterer and Modeler, in 1877, St Pauls's Church, Hammersmith.

Michael's father was Jeremiah Callan - garden labourer, born Ireland, circa 1807.  Believe he married a Mary ?Unknown.

I may have found him in the 1851 census going by the name of Jerry Coholane. Still with Mary

Jeremiah was still alive at the wedding of his son Michael in 1877 but I know he died in Fulham - somewhere!.

The name changes often...1851 census Jerry Coholane, 1861 census it is Carroll but in 1871 census all the same family at the same address it is now Callihan. At Michael's wedding it was Callan and all of Ellen and Michael's children were Clarn!
Callan in Ireland and London: Clarn in London: Carroll in Ireland and London: Callahan in London: Goller in Ireland and London: Comben in the UK (Dorset): Attwooll in Dorset: Sansom in Dorset:  Goble in Kent; Gibbs in Dorset: Rosenhain in Germany: Dau in Germany and Australia: Bahls in Germany and Australia: Hildebrandt in Germany and Australia: Levin in Obernitzischka, near Leipzig in Germany
