Hi Harv,
Thanks for the info. I think you are right about John McKenzie b 1767. That doesn't look likely.

Re Catharine McCallum, The 1816 OPR only indicates that bride and groom were of Kenmore Parish and no details of parents. An 1841 Census only gives birthplace as Perthshire unnfortunately.

On a search for McCallums birth/baptism records in Kenmore, I found 2 Catharines, 16/01/1798 of Finlay McCallum/Christian Campbell and 22/01/1798 of Donald McCallum/Christian Stewart.

I have yet to trawl through Fortingall. There seems to be a rash of McCallums in there.

Hi,
I am researching the McKenzies and McCallums in the Kenmore/Fortingall area. My Gt.Grandmother was Catherine McKenzie b.Comrie c.1848 who had a child (my grandfather) to James McCallum b.Fortingall c.1842.  Catherines parents were John McKenzie and Mary Ferguson both of Kenmore b. c.1821 -m 1846. John had a brother Duncan b. c.1835 and a sister Christian b.c.1840.(from an 1851 census)
Although John does not appear on the 1841 census of the John McKenzie and Catharine McCallum,(m. 1816) I believe he was their first son. I can't find some birth records. Perth Library says that Kenmore records are a bit erratic.
John McKenzie(b. 1786)  His father was also a John McKenzie b. Kindrochad, Ardtalnaig 1767, m. Ann McEwen.1782 Killin. His father was Duncan McKenzie m.Margaret Crerar.

Re James McCallum, he was an aerated water manufacturer/brewer in Stirling d.1899.  His father was Donald McCallum Road Surfaceman m. Catherine Menzies. living at Corrychraobhie, Fortingall.

The 1881 Census for Falkirk also shows a John McCallum b.c 1843 Fortingall working as a brewery foreman living in Glebe Street, which is where the Aitken's Brewery was. There must be a connection there.

Hi Abi,

I am also interested in the McKenzies in Kenmore of this period but I'm having difficulty tracing birth records.  My Gt.Gt. Grandfather was John Mckenzie, born in Kenmore c.1821, married in 1846 to Mary Ferguson, also born Kenmore c.1821.  Daughter Catherine -or possibly Christian, born Comrie c.1848.
They were all Gaelic speakers. I understand that the MacKenzies originally came from Kintail in Wester Ross.

cheers,

awwm
