• Notes

  There is a Catherine McCALLUM aged 30 in the 1851 Census, sister of Archibald, and therefore nee Menzies, with 3 children. The eldest of which is 10, and therefore born around the time of the 1841 Census. So there is something awry, but most likely some mismatch on dates, as well as children born out of wedlock. Evidence for this marriage finally comes with the 1871 and 1881 Censuses. This shows that she married Duncan McCALLUM, b1809.
