William McCulloch and Rachel Dunn married in Dunblane on 4th Oct 1829 before moving to Dingwall sometime before the 1841 Census.
I have checked trough SP and downloaded the entry in the 1841 census, unfortunately the address isn't viewable only the house number.
At the time they have 4 children: Margaret aged 11, Elsie aged 9, John aged 7 and finally Edward from whom I am descended.who was 3 at the time. Williams occupation is a saddler.
I know that Edward married Margaret McBeath in Bridge of Allan in on 7th February 1862 before moving to Dundee.
I have heard second hand that the 1851 Census had the family living at 13 High Street which was in fact a Saddler’s shop. At the time there were: John (17), Edward (12), listed as a Scholar and born in Dingwall, 27th March 1838 and Christened on 22nd June 1838 – Dingwall, Ross and Cromerty, Scotland William (
, Joseph (6), Jeanette (2).
I understand that the 1851 census has William McCulloch (47), a Saddler, who was born in Dingwall, Ross & Cromerty and that his wife Rachel was born in Dunblane. This may explain why they moved to Dingwall, but I have accessed the 1851 census myself can someone please confirm this.
In 1871 Edward and his wife Margaret McBeath were living at 15 Hunter Street, Dundee.
Again if anyone could look up the census for 1861 and 1871 for Dingwall to see whether any of the McCullochs were still there I'd be grateful.
I have no idea at the moment what happened to the remainder of the McCulloch's but if anyone has them in their family tree I'd naturally be very interested to hear.
Some of the McCulloch's went on to serve in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in both South Africa and India. Some of the McCulloch's settled in South Africa and whom I'm trying to trace.
