Hi Greg
Been looking into my Callaghan Family and have a great great grandmother, Mary McMahon. She married James Callaghan in Shanagolden Limerick in the mid 1830's, he was her second husband. The came to Australia in 1836 aboard the Duchess of Northumberland and then to NZ in 1837/38. Family story that she was cousin to Field Marshal McMahon, a general under Napoleon. Don't know much more about the family in Ireland. Any connection?
