I have a Donald McCallum who gives his birthplace in the 1851 census for Luss, Dunbartonshire (Inshlonaig Island) as Clifton. After great difficulty i discovered Clifton is right next to Tyndrum and was once a sizeable village due mainly to the lead mines and the 'gold rush' which Tyndrum is famous for. The lead mine closed in 1829.
Looking at OPR listing for Killin Parish there was a Donald McCallum born 1814 to a Duncan McCallum and a Mary Brodie. However I need to know if this was in Clifton. The original OPR listing may say where in Killin this birth took place. Donald died between 1851 and 1860 in either Luss or Bonhill. His death is not registered. I also need a look up in OPR burial/mort cloth records for these areas as there might be something there.
