J McHolm Southhampton to cape 1910
« on: Friday 11 September 15 16:59 BST (UK) »
Hi. I'm trying to find info regarding James McHolm born 1879 Dumfries. There's nothing after the 1891 Scotland census. I came across this listing on Genes Reunited. Was wondering if anyone could help find out if relates to James. Many thanks

Hi, the only problem with the spelling as McColm is that their is also a James McColm aged 22 b Scotland shown as Private Soldier at Military Camp, Bulford, Wiltshire

Thanks, the j McHolm in the dragons relates to John, who was brother of James. There is a McHolm family involved with the St George's home for boys in Durban sa. Anyone have any info on this?
