Do you know his parents names or when he married & to whom?

There are a few Duncan McCallum's on the SA index but none are matching the year/s you have given.

The one that died in 1923 has his age listed as 69yrs.

Thank you Merlin. The info comes from family so it seems the date was wrong.1854 seems to fit in.I am trying to find where their land was at Glencoe as I live 20 mins away. I am trying the library tomorrow for rates records or maps. Chris.

I can't see his birth in SA or any births with the parents names as Duncan McCALLUM & Mary CAMERON.

Are you sure he was born there & not o/s or interstate?
