There were no results found for your selection. There needed to be at least 100 people with the name on the Electoral Register in 1998 to be in the database. We are hoping to add these missing names at a later date

 

there is very few of us in the world probably only 10 in the uk, 2 in canada and 2 in the u.s. but the people over the water do trace back to the uk ... would love to know where it comes from??

I was born a McCallum - think the name originated around Oban if I remember correctly. Tis a pretty common name.

 

The name I was adopted to isn't on the register tho.

 

My married name is also a Scottish one, lots of them up in the Shetlands etc.
