Looking for info on O'Callaghan's who lived in the Richmond, Carleton County, Ontario area. John S. O'Callaghan had sisters Eliza and Mary Ann. John worked for the post in Ottawa (Billings Bridge) area. I have their parents listed as Mary Skehan and William O'Callaghan. Mary Skehan was daughter of Patrick Skehan and Elizabeth ?. Mary later married William's brother Michael. Any interest or news to share, please email at victoria_duval1@yahoo.ca

I have information concerning the Skehan clan in the Richmond/Fallowfield area. Patrick married Elizabeth Emery. Patrick was the son of James Skehan and Ann(Anastasia) Maloney. My 3rd great grandfather was Peter Skehan, the brother of Patrick Skehan.

I have a little more information about the Skehan's. Unfortunately I believe that by 1900 the Skehan name is extinct in the Richmond, Ontario area.

This makes sense. I am in the middle of something else at the moment but I know this is a direct connection. If you have any further info on the Skehan's and O'Callaghan's connection(s)I would be grateful.

I will piece things together and make sense of what I have. This is a line I have been struggling with for years as the details were very sketchy ever since I can remember and few family members remain who would know anything at all.

I am the great granddaughter of Mary Skehan, great-great granddaughter of Patrick Skehan and Elizabeth Emery.

I have Skehan ancestors who originated in the Ballyknavin/Ardataggle area of Co. Clare:
John 1780-1845
Kate 1790-1840 married Simon Flaherty
Patrick 1781-1865 married Bridget Nash

Any connection here ???

I have only researched the O'Callaghan side of this family and will yet get to the Skehan's - so maybe? I hope to get to this line sometime soon : ) The Mary Skehan who maried into the O'Callaghan family, was born I beleive, May 18, 1842 in Ontario, Canada. She married one O'Callaghan and then married another O'Callaghan after her first husband passed away. That would be Michael and William O'Callaghan. Does this ring any bells?

Hi Victoria - no bells ringing as yet. However, I have just made a new Skehan link and I am busy checking it out.
If anything comes up that looks promising - will get back to you.

Thanks for your reply - and 'maybe' indeed !!! :)
