my own Grandfather was a Kalaugher and the County Sligo thing sounds right.
His father James Patrick arrived in New Zealand in 1861-63.

please e-mail me to see what connection there might be?

It's possible that it could have been spelled with only one "L". I've found numerous spellings of the name. My gr-grandfather came to Canda and settle in the Westport Ontario area and then in the late 1880s to Mid-Michigan. I know he had siblings; one of whom I believed was named Bartholemew but I have no history on him. Any of this sound familiar?

thanks for your note. Here is what my cousin has so far:
Here is the information which I have on the Kalaugher family variations of the spelling in Ireland. This was obtained from a researcher in Northern Ireland up to mid 1990, when I retired and went off overseas for a trip. Sadly I didn't have time to visit Ireland then, altho' I did have a brief five days there in 1984. I told her I had found the name in the Griffiths Valuation of 1858 in the Barony of Leyney. She then found this surname recorded in the Parish of Achonry (Sligo) in the Thithes of 1827. But alas, the RC registers for this parish only exist from 1878 for baptism and from 1865 for marriages, therefore not relevant for the Barny K. found in the Griffiths and Tithes documents. She then searched the Householders' Indexes with Microfishe 2/2/5 for the parish of Achonry but could not find any K.sTownland of Moyloug: Bartholomew Kalagher leased with Eaneas McAllister 5 and a quarter acres tithe 5/6pence.If that is a correct entry then he must have been born prior to 1805 as he would need to be 21 to lease land. The researcher then did a search of records in Dublin for deaths from 1864-1879 and altho' she found four Bernard Kelegher/Kalagher's during this period none of them were registered in Co.Sligo. My great grandfather James Patrick Kalaugher left Ireland when quite young. He worked as a chimney sweep in Liverpool initially. Then he made his way to London where he was press-ganged into the navy and served in the Crimea War of circa 1854. Afterwards he was on a merchant ship which sailed around the world. When he reached NZ he jumped ship at Lyttleton, the port of Christchurch in the South Island. This must have been around 1861-1863. A search of the index to the ships which called into Lyttleton in that period does not tell us anything. It was quite common for sailors to jump ship then and they usually got as far away from the port as possible. In the event he ended up working on a large sheep station as a general rouse-about and married an Irish lass who was working as the cook there.
His death certificate gives his birthplace as Drumshannon, Ireland, and his age at 30 October 1917 as 82, having been in NZ for 58 years. But these statistics on death certificates are not always accurate. His father is named as Barney K. Interestingly the name is spelt Kalugher on this certificate."
Please feel free to write direct to me at tess@iinet.net.au if you like.

My great-great-grandfather, John Kallaugher, was born in Canada in
1852. His parents came from Ireland. He lived in Kingston and Westport
and moved to Massachusetts in the 1890's. If any of this sounds like a
connection with your family, please e-mail me at messenga@infi.net .

Hi, my Kalahar's orginated in Co. Sligo, Ireland, There are various spellings of the name. We use Kalahar and Callahan. Another branch of the family uses Kallaugher. One family story is that the name was changed to sound more American and less Irish. Another story say that my ancestor couldn't read or write and thus depended on someone else to do the spelling. Another relative tells me that he found the tombstone of the original John in Ireland and that the name on the tombstone is spelled Kallaugher. Original Irish version is purported to be O'Ceileacair. This is probably a lot of useless information but it's all I have.
