“Okay, but you must spell it C*ckburn”
“Great…thanks, now just gotta find a women desperate enough to marry me”
“Yeah you over there Miss Fannyfire, what you up to tonight?”

Callaghan (O’Callaghan)… of Irish Descent…..
O’Callaghan – “strife.” From Ceallachan, 10th C. King of the Irish province of Munster and chieftain of the Eoghanact, a consortium of the leading families of Munster, and who plundered surrounding counties. Ruled from Caisel ,he is famed for killing Cinneide, father of the future king Brian Boru
mine comes from ireland, but does’nt sound that irish to be honest, my nan did tell me once where the name came from, but i think at the time, the footy was on, and i was’nt really listening
My surname originated in France – my ancestors fled France during the French Revolution to save their necks lol and moved to Ireland. Then came over to Scotland during the Potato famine and been here ever since.
Not had much luck my lot. :roll:
