JOHN CALLANAN was born September 1885 at Rosstown, South Westland, New Zealand.
John’s Parents were….. PATRICK and MARGARET CALLANAN.
I believe that PATRICK CALLANAN was a brother of my grandmother Margaret Callanan ( Mrs. Hogan).
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who believes we have a connection.

My great grandparents Daniel Callanan and Margaret Keogh sailed from Plymouth to Port Adelaide.
Read of the voyage, passenger list, and features of the journey at
Sue, kindly updated my Callanan Family details, which are now correctly recorded on the Shipping List.

Our forebear JAMES COWE (later COWIE) christened 22-4-1781, St. Luke, Old Church, Finsbury, London, was the eldest son of JOHN COWE and his wife JANE (or JEAN) MURRAY.
Another son and daughter were living in 1818, (names unknown), probably also born in the London area. (See also My Cowie Familytree).
I would love to hear from any other Cowe or Cowie’s who feel they have a connection.

Recently I had the great joy of finding the marriage of my great grandparents DANIEL CALLANAN and his wife MARGARET KEOGH.
This JOY came about because of my surfing the net and finding IRISH FAMILY HISTORY FOUNDATION, which is the Genealogy Database for Ireland. It is an on-line record search system, and can be found at www.brsgenealogy.com
