John McCallum, Financial Secretary National Education

I recently discovered proof that our Daniel McCallum, Manager of the Gas Works in Omagh, was father of John McCallum, Financial Secretery of National Schools of Ireland.  While perusing the Gas World periodicals, the article below mentions that Daniel needed to quit his position as President of the North of Ireland Association of Gas Managers due to the death of his son in 1892.  This son was indeed John McCallum, who died 21 March 1892 at Dublin.  John was born about 1843 and is buried with his wife at Tullyallen Presbyterisn in Armagh.  Finding his birth will help us locate the family origins.
