Sorry, " Lodger" I just noticed your search criteria for McCallum of Oban.

Bethea Fell daughter of William Fell and Janet Haddow was married to John McCallum  in 1834 at Lesmahagow and moved to Oban. Are you connected to this John and Bethea McCallum if so we have information for you.

Both my mum & Uncle Hebbie (Herbert) are sure the 'Fell' Family came from Cumbria, England. Although some born in Scotland moved to England, with others spreading to Canada & Australia.

Good to see you on this website Gav.

My name is Karen Fell in Ontario Canada.  I am a direct descendant of William Fell b.1777 who married Janet Haddow in 1799.  He came to Canada with his son Joseph in 1830's.  I have shared much info with Douglas and have been researching 20 years.   I also have a connection with  John Fell b1814 in Carluke (mother Agnes Forrest) and his Aunt Janet White.  I see many posts from people re this family and would like to know more about your connection and to share what info or theories you may have.  I'm still looking for proof that this William Fell had 3 separate families and was he born in England.
Thanks,  Karen

I came across a Joseph Burgess or Fell, illegitimate son of Jean Burgess, father's given name unknown, baptised 29 June 1789 in Middlebie, Dumfries-shire. He obviously doesn't fit any of the ones in this thread, but Joseph isn't all that common a name so it's not impossible that there might be a connection.

It's possible that there are different families involved - The Carluke OPR's show the burial of Janet Haddow wife of William Fell in 1850 and gives her age as 49 - ie birth around 1801 and so cannot be the same Fell/Haddow family who married in Cambusnethan in 1799
