Hi,
Welcome to Rootschat  .
Did Thomas marry an Esther Barlow?
There is an entry in the electoral rolls 1962 Malay House, Prusom Street for a Thomas, Esther and two other Callaghans.
There is a British Royal Navy Service record for a Thomas Callaghan born 11th August 1892, his place of birth is Wapping and those details tally with a 1939 record for a Thomas and Esther in Wapping.

Do you have names of parents or any other details to confirm that any records found are the correct ones? there could be more than one Thomas Callaghan born in Ireland circa 1890 and it would be far to easy to end up tracing the wrong person.

For example, searching 1901 Irish census for 'Thomas Callaghan' age 11 (+/- 5 years) shows 62 results. 1 of those entries might be him but it's also possible that none are correct person.
Irish civil registrations are online (free)- https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

Just started typing when I saw post by cath151 so it looks like he was born in England not Ireland 

Since Wapping seems to be in Stepney registration district this might be the birth registration-
CALLAGHAN, THOMAS       (mother's maiden name) SUMMONS 
GRO Reference: 1892  D Quarter in STEPNEY  Volume 01C  Page 365

He was baptised as Thomas Dionysius Callaghan, born 11/8/1892, baptised 24/8/1892 St. Francis de Sale, Tottenham, son of Thomas and Malvina (nee Christmas) Callaghan.

I can see a likely Malvina Christmas in St. George in the East, London in 1881 census, bc.1864 Newington Causeway, Surrey, dau. of John and Margaret but can't find a birth entry.

Likewise, I cannot find a marriage entry for Thomas Callaghan and Malvina Christmas BUT I note that their childrens birth entries show her maiden name as Summons, not Christmas, so not quite sure what's going on there.   There is a birth entry for a Malvinia Summons in Mar.qtr.1863, mmn Rudler.   

In 1911 Thomas and Malvina in Dublin with son Thomas born circa 1893 - whole family shown born in London.

Thomas Callaghan junior married Esther Barlow Mar.qtr.1917 Stepney.

The Callaghan/Barlow marriage was in Stepney 1917 so you could check the 1921 census to confirm his birthplace?  Do you have any particular reason for thinking he was b Ireland?

They had 5 children born between 1924-1935 which you can find using www.freebmd.org.uk

Malvinia - registered as Summons, mmn Rudler - in Dec.1865 Stepney, Margaret Rudler (not Summons) married John Christmas.   So, Malvina was legally Summons according to birth, then became Christmas when her mother married John.   But then her mother married as single i.e. Rudler when she married John.  Wonder who Mr. Summons could have been.

It's not uncommon for children to take the surname of a stepfather or mother's partner.

He was baptised as Thomas Dionysius Callaghan, born 11/8/1892, baptised 24/8/1892 St. Francis de Sale, Tottenham, son of Thomas and Malvina (nee Christmas) Callaghan.
Possibly didn't use his middle name but in any even parents seem to have called their next son Denis.
