Joseph McHolm - Death Record

[percy_veer]

I would be grateful if someone could help me find the death record of Joseph McHolm who was last recorded on the 1871 census living at 16 Bridge Street, Dumfries as an Inn Keeper. I've previously looked on Scotlands People, but I couldn't find it.

His wife in 1871 was Mary Ann McHolm

Joseph McHolm was married to Margaret Gracie and also to Mary Ann Cannon. Josephs daughter was Jane Clarke McHolm and she married Michael Barbour   on 18th October 1877 at 16 Bridge Street Dumfries. They moved to Wigan where Michael died on 27th April 1893 at 16 Dicconson Street, Wigan.Michael was a draper.
Michael Barbours father was William Barbour and his grandfather was John Barbour (but records show spelling Barber)

Hi Nikonfuji,

Welcome indeed to rootschat. Sorry I didn't reply to your post earlier, but I was out of the country last week (I know.....no excuse, I could've checked whilst I was away). 

I would really like to take you up on the offer of any help you have with regards to info about Barbours and Glencairn. I actually have a post with a subject of "Birth & Census Records - Glencairn, Dumfrieshire". Please take a look at this post.

It maybe appropriate to continue this thread on there, or I can open a new post? Let me know.

I'm really grateful for any help you can provide.

Thanks,

Hi I'm new to the group, so I hope I'm posting this correctly. I'm too looking for the death of Joseph McHolm, who according to 1871 census, lived in Bridge St Dumfries, but was from Co Antrim, Ireland. I have reason to believe he was one of 6 sons, mother Margaret, father James and died in 1892. Can anyone confirm this for me? Many thanks

Hi mlmcholm,
I'm not sure if you noticed but Ev posted in this thread that Joseph McHolm died in 1878. Although I haven't found anything to confirm this, so not sure where Ev sourced that information.

It's interesting to see that you say the following:

I have reason to believe he was one of 6 sons, mother Margaret, father James and died in 1892.

I haven't been able to find his parents names and/or siblings.

I would be interested to hear more from you on this.

Thanks.

Hi Percy veer. I have a Joseph McHolm in the 1841 census age 23 in Troqueer, others listed are James, Margaret and Neven. I have a death certificate for Nevin, father James McHolm, mother Margaret (nee Martin). I have other death certs of john,James,Robert with the same parents. That's why I've been looking for death certificate, just to confirm my theory. Oh yes, I'm on the hunt for William's death, born 1811. He could be another sibling!
