Hi
I'm also looking for McCrum in my ancestry.

My GG Grandmother born Eliza Anne Burns 12/8/1842 and baptised 16/8/1842. at 3rd Rathfriland Presbyterian and daughter to Joseph Cowan and Jane McCrum.

I have also found her sisters and brothers births in Rathfriland.

Eyla married Samuel Cowan in Newry 1865 they stayed in Newry  (various streets James Street, Talbot street,  Cowan Street, Stream Street) before moving to  the district of Anderston, Glasgow sometime after 1880.
Her name variants  are Elizabeth / Eyla or Eliza  depending on different documents

I am interested in finding out anything more of her mother and father Jane McCrum and Joseph Burns. :)
