Whilst doing my family tree, I was told that my deceased father had 2 dead amongst his siblings who died as children. Whilst trying to find one of them I researched a James Newry Callan. He turned out to be the son of my great uncle. Sent for birth certificate. Born 1/1/1910 19 Nesbitt street Shotton Colliery and died same year. Parents Joseph Callan and Margaret Jane ( nee Humble). Family records show Joseph married to Mary Jane Magee ( Mcgee). Did some research. He first married Mary but she died aged about 25. On the census in 1911 we have Joseph snr and Margaret. Joseph aged 9,William aged 7 ( they are marked as his children) Agnes 6 weeks against Margaret and one child as died ( James Newry). After this I can't find any trace of the children. I have checked WW1 records and can't find a match. Looked for marriages and deaths. Family has a mining/publican background. County Durham & Northumberland. Would like to know what happened to them, and if there were any more. Any ideas. |
