Narrative:

Ord ground control, 121.9. After landing at ord runway 14R and exiting taxiway T6, the ground controller cleared us to taxi taxiway J1, taxiway J, taxiway H, taxiway P, taxiway a to gate. We accepted that clearance and taxied and held short of runway 22R at taxiway H when the ground controller asked who was holding short of runway 22R at taxiway H. I responded with our flight number and was told that we were not issued the taxi clearance that we were issued. We were a few mins later issued a clearance to cross runway 22R and continue on what was our original clearance to the gate.
