For Rena,  there are Crum's buried in the Ramshorn Kirkyard in Ingram Street, I remember noting  a stone there as there is a shop of that name in the High Street......Skoosh.

Skoosh!!!

I'm grateful for your eagle eyes!  It must be fate that I came across this thread today.  One of my ancestors had a registered address in Ingram Street 1847 so that might be a possible resting place for an earlier generation and/or his cousins.

Thanks for leaving the note for me.
Cheers,
Rena in Lancashire

Rena,  The Ramshorn was where the Glasgow Merchants were buried until lack of space caused the Necropolis, above the Cathedral, to be opened. They must have had a few bob, your Crums, I was tempted to make a crack about "Crumbs" but managed to desist! The church is now an Arts Centre and the area tarted up. It's not on mementomori, I'm afraid, but it is in the city centre......Skoosh.

Hello again Skoosh,
Rena Crum thanks you for desisting the crack about Crumbs  ;D   although she wishes her branch had managed to catch a few gold & silver crumbs from the rich branch's table  ;D    The name with various spellings (e.g. Cram)  is found in ancient settlements by rivers all over Europe.     I believe the full surname used to be Crumbiewelle (the name now known as Cromwell).

Hmm, I wonder if the monument belongs to the branch where the male line died out and it was eventully decided that the estate should go to a female cousin so long as her husband took the surname Crum (I believe my grandmother made an unsuccessful claim on behalf of her son John Crum - and wouldn't I like to get my hands on the letter and the scores of other John Crum claims  ;D).

Thanks again, much appreciated.
Rena

aw thanks Skoosh - remembering what this year's weather has been like, I look forward to Summer 2010 when hopefully the sun remembers to shine long enough for the muddy grass to dry up.

Cheers, Rena

Rena,  just checking "Black's Surnames" for the origins of the Scottish Crum's, "From Macilchrum, common in Dumbarton 17th & 18th centuries, Kilbarchan 1653 and Mary Crum, Whithorn 1786, possible connection to Cromb".....Skoosh.
