Honora Sullivan (nee Callaghan) & John Smith circa 1870-1880

Posted: 30 Jul 2015 9:44PM GMT
Classification: Lookup
Surnames: Sullivan, Callaghan, Smith
Looking for any information that maybe found on these people in Toowoomba, there was a child born in Jan of 1880 who survived life for 10 weeks before she left this world in the April of 1880. It is believed from certificates that the mother was born in 1854 Brosna, Kerry, Ireland & John was born 1855 Mudgee NSW.

From what I have gathered so far is that Honorah was possibly the first child born, they moved onto Charleville & Blackall.

I am interested in any information of them whilst living in Toowoomba when they arrived to the suburb where they possibly came from prior to that, I have not located a marriage, it is believed that the marriage was illegitimate. I am also unsure of if the Callaghan name is Mother or Father's surname and if the Sullivan is a surname of one of the parents or a previous marriage at a young age. Honora passed away in the September of 1889 during childbirth in Skeleton Creek, Blackall.

It is also known through newspaper clippings that John Smith was a Groom whilst working with Cobb & Co, whilst in Blackall, I am unsure when he started with Cobb & Co or if he was with the company in Toowoomba.

Any information on these 2 people in that time period would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance
Dee.
