A Little Bit About Me
-
Where I was born and when
:
I was born in the town of Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland at
1p.m. on Thursday, 31st August 1939. 3 days later, I was baptised at St. Margaret's R.C.
Church, Airdrie. On the same day Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, announced that
Britain had declared war on Germany.

Some pictures of my fathers family
Who my mother and father were, where they were they born and bred and when and by
whom. Where they were educated. Where they met. What they did for a living and assorted
anecdotes from their lives.
:
My mother and father were both born in 1903 in Glasgow.
Jim
McIntyre, my father, was the 7th son to be born to Mary (nee Devine) and Tom M'Intyre. 4 of
these boys died in infancy; his other two brothers were called John and Ignatius. Sadly, his
mother died in 1906, having given birth to a baby girl, called Mary Josephine(Mamie).The
three younger children were taken back to Ireland to be cared for within the extended
family headed by their grandparents, Big Da and Big Ma. John joined his brothers and
sister a year later. All the children attended Doaghbeg School;John and later Jim continued
their education at St. Eunan's College Letterkenny. John became a priest, and my father
trained to be a teacher at Dundee College in Scotland.

My Mamma and her family
Catherine (Cassie) Callaghan was my mother's
maiden name. Her birthplace was Tollcross
in the Eastern outskirts of the city. Her parents, Rose and Tommy, came from Fanad, the
same part of Donegal that my father's people came from. There were 8 children, Susan,
Cassie, Mary, Hugh, Agnes, Tommy, Eddie and Rosemary. My mother was 16 by the time
Rosemary was born and already attending Glasgow School of Art, having first attended St.
Joseph's Primary school, where she won a scholarship to Notre Dame High School,
Dowanhill. She went on to teach Art having completed her teacher training at Jordanhill
College. A more detailed account of my mother's story can be found in "Cassie"
a small
book compiled with care by my brother John, from my mother's own written and
oral memories.

My Mamma and her family
They met......
As my Father was brought up in Doaghbeg, Fanad, and my mother's family spent their
annual summer holiday at her grandparents home in Tullynadal, Fanad, it is not impossible for them to
have met in childhood, (indeed my Grandfather Tommy Callaghan, in his youth, worked on the farm
my father grew up on) but their paths first really crossed at my maternal Grandparents house in
Tollcross.

Where I was Educated and by Whom. My school friends, and what went on to do. What I did
for a living
All Saints
I remember clearly my first day at school, Miss Laughlin, showed me two desks, the first
and second in the row nearest the window. She told me that my two brothers had sat in
those desks when they had been in her class, and asked me which one I wanted to have. I
chose the second desk.(More about my education and career...).

My husband, where we met, our children and anecdotes from our lives :
Talking about the old rhymn about the different characters that children
have depending on which day they were born put me in mind of an uncharacteristic superstition,
about days of the week, which I succumbed to in the runup to the birth of my youngest daughter Una.
I love my sons dearly but when I became pregnant for a fifth time, it was only natural that I began
praying that the new arrival would be a little girl, I so wanted Angela to have a little sister. The
consultant I saw told me that, as it was so soon after the Martins birth (which was an emergency
caesarian) I would have to have another operation this time.
|
All proceeded normally, and I was eventually told to come to hospital on Wednesday 13th November
1973, in preparation for the operation on the Thursday morning. Now, all the boys had been born on a
Thursday (30/01/69, 03/09/70 and 09/11/72). Its funny how the mind works, I had never thought
of myself as superstitious, but I did not want this baby arriving on a Thursday. I was actually relieved
when I developed a chest infection and the op had to be postponed. I am sure that it is only a
coincidence that our precious little Una did not arrive till tuesday (19/11/73), the same day of
the week that her sister Angela had been born (03/01/1967)
