Talk:Elizabeth Callaghan

This page should not be speedy deleted because...
This page should not be speedily deleted because It was written as part of a project called 'Women on Wikipedia' run by the ABC and Wendy Zukerman. The project is to add more articles on Wikipedia about notable women as there are more articles about men on Wikipedia. Two Year 9 students wrote the article and as their teacher supervising them, I had to publish it yesterday as it was due to the Project organiser. I didn't have time to double check their references. Please don't delete the article. Please give us more time to edit the article so that it does not breach copyright. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MissT Techie (talk • contribs)
 * The delete was declined yesterday. Some issues to work on in the article are listed at the top of it. We need to try and find some more sources as well to add to the article. Thanks.  Zpeopleheart (talk) 21:33, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Married in 1853, but dead in 1852?
These two statements seem contradictory:

In July 1853, when she was married to William Weire, town clerk of Geelong, her daughter, Elizabeth Mary, described her as ‘Elizabeth Callan, governess’

Callaghan was murdered in 1852 in Geelong, being beaten and kicked to death in a bar-room brawl. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.161.104.57 (talk) 08:52, 1 September 2016 (UTC)


 * It was the daughter who was married and speaking in 1853 ... have tweaked the article a bit now. Pam  D  09:54, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
