Dugald MacCallum & Catherine Campbell/Buchanan - Argyll
« on: Wednesday 11 September 13 10:31 BST (UK) »
Hi.

I'm looking for my g-great grandmothers parents. Her name is Mary MacCallum and was born ca. 1856 (probably in Argyll) according to her death certificate (d. 1931, Oban, Argyll.)

Her parents names are given as Dugald McCallum & Catherine Campbell in her marriage certificate, and as Dougald MacCallum & Catherine Buchannan in her death certificate. I haven't found her birth certificate yet. Both names Campbell and Buchannan sound familiar to me after hearing my grandmother talk about Scotland, so I'm sure on of them might a middlename, and one of them the surname.

Mary married John Cameron in Oban in 1880.

Does anyone know anything about these people? I can't seem to find any info on them anywhere.. All help is much appreciated :)

I know! I can't find anyone with those parents. I can only find her in the census from 1881 and onwards..

I'm fairly certain she had a sister named Catherine Campbell, according to the 1901 census when she appears to be living with Mary and her family: http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1901Scotland&indiv=try&h=1304653

Here is what the census tells us of her birthplace:

1881 - Muckairn.
1891 . Lismore.
1901 - Muckairn.

I don't know if you'll be able to display this page, but it's worth a shot:

Sorry to be a pain MM ,

I've had to remove the screen shot as it is copyright to that site.
If you wish to show Census information please make your own transcription.

thanks

If Catherine Campbell was unmarried on the 1901 Census(think you would have to look at the original Census for that) it might be worth looking for her on the 1861/1871 Census to see if it throws up anything on Mary  :-\

1871 Census -
Look for Catherine Campbell  born 1860 at Muckairn Argyll , think there is a Mary McCallum born 1859 Muckairn with her ?(Just looking at the indexes)
