I was reviewing your site and I have some information for you about the
page on the above descents. I am an O'Callaghan and in this profile on the
McKenna's you mention that Catherine O'Callaghan was married to Virgil
Francis McKenna. I have a bit more information on this.
Catherine O'Callaghan was born in 1862 and died in 1919. Catherine and
Virgil where married on June 5, 1889 at St. John the Evangelist Parish in
Enniskerry, Osgoode Township.
Virgil's father was John Joseph McKenna and his mother was Elizabeth J.
Hughes.
Hope this helps.

Al, might I offer some additional info. to that offered by Maureen O'Callaghan
on the McKenna page?
The spouse, Catherine, is a daughter of Cornelius O'Callaghan and Bridget McEvoy.
[You may wish to cross reference with your page for John P. McEvoy and Anastasia Power,
the parents of Bridget.] Besides Catherine (who was known as Kate), other children
include John Henry ("Black Jack") who married Laura O'Callaghan, Annie (who married
James Plunkett) and James (who married Kate O'Rourke).
All the best,
