McCallum at Bartonholm

Post by Hughie »

At Bartonholm. Thanks to another researching the McCallum names in bold below are the siblings of my great great grandfather who settled in Kilwinning from County Down. Though not totally sure on the Robert as I haven't got his marriage details to verify if his parents were Thomas McCallum and Helen Forbes.

(1859) Marriages, Vol. 595:54 Burgh & Parish of Irvine
On 4 Nov 1859 at Bartonholm Irvine Parish, after banns U.P. Church of Scotland
Alexander Gaw, (his x mark) age 26, res. Bartonholm Colliery, coal miner, bachelor,
parents James Gaw labourer dec'd & Susan (Wilson)Gaw;
to
Ann McCallum, (her x mark) age 24, res. Bartonholm Colliery, muslin sewer, widow,
parents Thos. McCallum weaver dec'd & Helen Forbes dec'd;
by W.B Robertson minister U.P. Church Irvine, witnesses Robert McCallum & Margaret Kelly;
reg. 7 Nov 1859 at Irvine J.A. Campbell registrar.
This from page 41 of the Poor Law Magazine. Would be interested in page 42 if anyone has access.

This is probably Robert's son:
District of Irvine, Vol. 595:35, 1872

In reference to p.41 of the Poor Law Magazine and request for p. 42 :
You may have already received this, but just in case you have not the full article is available online at the following link.
https://books.google.ca/books?id=qNhFAQ ... aw&f=false

I believe that Robert McCallum, Ann’s brother, who is referenced in the article is my 3x great grandfather. I have not been able to find a record of his birth nor his first marriage to Margaret McLean(both in Ireland). His second marriage to Elizabeth Best records his parents as Thomas MCallum and Helen Forbes. If anyone has further information I would be most appreciative.

Hi, Can't seem to get fully into those pages, this is as far as I get using the search word Bartonholm.

Image

Sorry, I haven't gone as far as to find where in County Down the family came from and haven't looked at it for some time. Off the top of my head siblings Robert and Margaret McCallum where at Bartonholm / Irvine, while their brothers James was at Dundonald and Thomas, my gt gt grandfather was at Kilwinning.
