Grandpa James' father was James, who married Mary Hagney/Hegarty in 1874.
On the marriage record, her age is listed as 22 (so born 1852), his age is listed as 'full' .
According to most genealogy sites, 'full' age means 21 or older. Since she is 22, would it imply that he is older than that, older than her?
ancestry.com 'suggests' that his (great grandfather James) mother is Mary Patton, based largely on the fact that the names and places fit. That is, the only child named James, born in Donegal, whose father was Thomas, was this one. But, the child James born of Thomas McCallion and Mary Patton is baptized in 1859:
This would put James at age 15 or 16 at the time of the 1874 wedding ... certainly not 'full'.
If this is the right great, great grandparents, this is their marriage in 1854:
Great grandfather James appears to have died in 1926:
He is listed as dying at 90 years old, which would put his birth year as 1836.
My point here: is there another Thomas McCallion, married to ?, who has a son James earlier than 1859? Nothing in research so far
