Thanks so much, I've been to the cottage in Cullion, Clonallan civil parish, that was in the family for 160+ years.
To be honest because we don't have townlands over here, I'm not really clear what a townland is.

I would love to learn from you. I am definitely an amateur and live in England. I find Ancestry most helpful for the hints of matches from others as so many use it. And what i've found from DNA.

It's because you have to agree to someone else contacting you re their DNA linking with yours. For a famous family, there is no breadcrumb trail, which seems like they don't want it tracked. I did try searching on my Ancestry account & no joy for any of them which is surprising.

I think I'll probably need to go back to Scotland or when McCrums first came to Ireland. Good idea re building their family tree but that seems intrusive as it isn't my family. Also, the current Robert McCrum is an author, his dad Michael McCrum, who I met was Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge Univ so it seems like I'm celebrity hunting but actually I'm more interested in the joint Scottish origins.

I would like to find the link with these McCrums: Robert Garmany McCrum (1827-1915), of Milford House, County Armagh, High Sheriff of County Armagh, 1889, wedded, in 1864, Anne Eliza Riddall, of Armagh, and had issue,
WILLIAM McCrum, his heir, invented the penalty kick,  (1865-1932)
Harriette McCrum, b 1867.

Hi, my line of McCrums starts with Moses mcCrum (1790 - 1874) lived in Rienroe, Rathfriland, as did his ancestors until my grandad Samuel McCrum's siblings sold the smallholding in the 1950s.
I can't see from all all the Newry Mccrum records the relation with other McCrums in the area but they obviously were related. It seems that McCrums were like Smiths in that area at that time!
I have found that in Poltalloch in Argylshire there is a stone with the name McCrum in Ogham (Celtic/Gaelic language) and I believe others came from Whithorn, SW Scotland.
Any links known about the origins of the McCrums in Scotland?

Hi, my line of McCrums starts with Moses mcCrum (1790 - 1874) lived in Rienroe, Rathfriland. I can't see reading through all of your records that he was closely related to your McCrums. It seems that McCrums were like Smiths in that area at that time!
Any links known?
