I am currently researching my family tree and i am wondering if anyone has any information about the following McCallums. I know James McCallum was born in 1853 he married a Sarah McKirdy on 25 October 1875. I would like to know if James had any brothers or sisters, I know his father was Thomas McCallum and his mother was Rosa Lynch. They had several children, Robert 1873, Charles 1881, Thomas 1875, John 1878, James 1879 and William 12/11 1883. I know that William married a Mary Falconer, i would like any info on her also. Her parents were Alexander Falconer and Mary Ireland. They had 5 children,Marion, Barbara, Alexander, James and Sarah. I know also that Charles married an Elizabeth Williams 28/4/11, and they had Charles, Stuart, Elizabeth, Sarah, Archie and Nancy. If anyone could add to this i would be most grateful Grace.

I am trying to trace a Mr Harry Richardson nicknamed "Big Ritchie" He was a Quarter Master Sergeant Major in the 2nd world war, he was an englishman who we believe lived in Lancashire, but was staioned at Langside barracks in Glasgow and often went to Langside Cafe which is still there. We do not have any regiment numbers and do not know which regiment he was in so finding out information is hard, he served in the Langside barracks around 1944/45 and we think that he was born around 1913/15 these dates are rough estimates, we do not know for sure, Did you know Harry Richardson? Please get in touch, any information on regiments, any information, no matter how small wil be very appreciated. PLease help!!.
