Hi Garry,
Thanks for your most welcome enquirey--(*) is my email.
Till now we have not been able to confirm the link with McCallum so it sounds like after 20 years looking we might have made it.  Let me know what to do next.

Best regards

Jim

thanks gadget my confidence is back again..had a go at the IGI and got full birth dates for the children....am I ok in using these as a base line to try to trace?

Amazed that in the space of 24 hours I know that my great grandfather was born in Dunkeld c1834 now that is a bit unbelievable but it's true.  may be difficult from now on I gather as it all depends on if the birth resulted in a christening and entered in the church records.

I will have a good go at the IGI site..... thank you once again for an astounding journey, I hope I can succeed with  some more.

mmmm at a glance the children ages are a bit awray & The places born to, with the apearance of a mid child Janet....it looks good otherwise --notice dthat garnagunnock is the same birth place as the Alexander we want and the age isn't far away though

They did have John and Alexander but I think Alexander would probably be 1st born...  wondering if the Greenock wedding meant they were living there, I think thats Dumbartonshire or Lothian though

wow--how did you do that--it must be spot on, we were always told that Alexander was 61 when he died--

I spoke to my elder brother this morning, he lives in Scotland, Sandy (Alexander) he says there a connection to Greenock where they got married do you have anything on that?

I cannot thank you enough.

Kind regards
