Hello, 

I am starting to look into my families ancestry and came across this post. My Grandmother Margaret Callahan (maiden: Hughes) is originally from Redcross before moving to America in the early 1960s. She has 3 other sisters Mary (deceased), Lucy (Avoca), Kitty (deceased), and her brother Jack (Wicklow?). I am wondering if it is possible you are speaking about my grandmothers family. Im not too sure the names of her parents but could easily find out. 

Hi I have not come across a Margaret (nee Hughes) while researching the Hughes family, but have only been looking at my fathers immediate  relatives, Redcross is a small village and there did seem to be a few with the surname Hughes so they might be related in some way , I have traced my fathers great grandparents William and Bridget hughes and there is no mention of a Margaret, if you can find out her parents names that might be helpful.

Regards
