Here goes another attempt to locate some new names on my tree. I have a g grandfather, James S. McCOLLUM who was born in Michigan, possible Prescott on 11 January 1893 and died in Michigan 31 December 1918. So that means his parents were there. Now finding them has been a chore. His mother, last name SHARP or SHARPE is from Ireland I was told. I listed at one time Orange County in Northern Ireland, but got many emails saying there is no Orange County. I had gotten the information from my uncle who was quite close. So I am waiting a reply on this one. However while waiting I decided to do another post. Maybe is someone can help me locate him as a child somewhere in Michigan, there may be his parents name listed. My attempts have ended up with no results so far. Plus from what I know James S. McCOLLUM was the only one who spelled his name like that. The rest of the clan spelled it McCALLUM. I wonder why. Can anyone help? God Bless Pam

Hi Pam: I have found out that it is more reasonable to deal with the County's than the State, as I have had no results from dealing with the State of Michigan.

The Vitals in Michigan is in Lansing Michigan. It cost $15.00 plus $5.00 if you want a rush put on it. I had to download the papers to fill out and send in. I have it ready to go but now I may send it to the address you gave. Why is it so Cheap? Can I get more than a death certificate from them? Also is there a form I have to download from a site to fill out and send in? Can I get vitals on anyone from Michigan at this address for that price? God Bless Pam

Pam: This information is from the County Clerk Office. The reason I gave you this information is that I have used them for the same type of information.

I wonder if they were married Oct 24 in Parish of Airth (where it appears Margaret lived) and then when they went to the other parish in November they were given a certificate in that parish to confirm that Banns had been proclaimed elsewhere. Or someone just made a mistake in their recording. Certainly Banns were proclaimed before marriage (sometimes only one day before) to be sure there was no reason they shouldn't marry. In one of my family's I have a baptism in two parishes, one in Aug & one in Sept. I assume they moved about the time the baby was born & it got baptized and then ?registered in the other parish. Interestingly, the baby has two different names--Peter & Patrick. But the parents are definitely the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dawn Ellis" <dsellis@nbnet.nb.ca> To: <SCOTLAND-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2002 3:29 PM Subject: [SCT~ROOTS] two marriage dates??? > I am trying to interpret some extracts received from the OPR via the > GRO. > > 24 Oct 1768 Lewis Potter in Larbert & Margaret Towers of this parish > (Airth) were married. > > Nov 18 1768 Lewis Potter of Larbert & Margaret Towers in the parish > of Airth gave up their names for procamation in order __ Marriage > were proclaimed in the face of the congregation the three Sabbath > days immediately following and no objections having been offered they > had a certificate thereof. > > I thought the procamation was done three Sundays BEFORE the marriage. > In this case it appears that the marriage happened on the 24 Oct and > the proclamations finished three Sundays later on the 18 Nov.

I am trying to interpret some extracts received from the OPR via the GRO. 24 Oct 1768 Lewis Potter in Larbert & Margaret Towers of this parish (Airth) were married. Nov 18 1768 Lewis Potter of Larbert & Margaret Towers in the parish of Airth gave up their names for procamation in order __ Marriage were proclaimed in the face of the congregation the three Sabbath days immediately following and no objections having been offered they had a certificate thereof. I thought the procamation was done three Sundays BEFORE the marriage. In this case it appears that the marriage happened on the 24 Oct and the proclamations finished three Sundays later on the 18 Nov. Is this how I should interpret these extracts? Is this common? Thanks, -- Dawn Ellis dsellis@nbnet.nb.ca http://www.dawnellis.bravepages.com/ All emails scanned for viruses before leaving my machine!!!! I'm a TMGer!

Looking for any information about a James S. McCOLLUM/ McCALLUM who's mother's name is either SHARP or SHARPE born in Ireland. Lived for some time Orange County in Northern Ireland, maybe in Dublin too. I think they immigrated to the US because James was born in Michigan. God Bless Durard Smith Lose 5 pounds easy!

Looking for any information on Mary Raffel married in Scotland to John Grier, her mother was Jean Walker.... Joyce Hollett

Looking for information on grandparents of Sarah (1848), Betsy (1850) and Georgina (1854) GOLDIE, born in Dundee, Forfar, Scotland. Parents were David GOLDIE (1816 Edinburgh, Scotland) and Mary Ann BOATH. Trying to find parents and tree for David and Mary Ann. Pete

Eileen, WELLLLL in fact there are some names I am kinda stuck on. I'll give you some info. ******* indicates information I am needing to know. :) 1>> For instance I have the 1880 Census in Michigan on my g g g grandparents Lydia AUSTIN and Peter JONES family. Lydia married a man named CHAPLE after JONES died. I found her on the 1900 Census as Liddie CHAPLE living with her son and family. I have not been able to locate any information on this marriage to CHAPLE to find out his first name. It is written on this Census as widowed. On the back of a picture of her and says after CHAPLE died Lydia married a William BROWN. I have not found that either. ****** So I would like to know more about both these marriages and CHAPLE's first name. 2>> They had a daughter who ended up being my g g grandmother. On this same picture she is known as Hattie BROWN - maiden name JONES. Pictures are marked Hattie BROWN or grandma BROWN. On this 1880 Census in Michigan I have of Lydia and Peter JONES, it list her as Adda JONES. She married someone name Charley HEATH first then William Murry BROWN according to the writing on the picture. On the 1900 Census in Michigan the same sheet her mother is listed as Liddie CHAPLE as I mentioned above, Hattie (alas Adda) is listed being married to William Murry BROWN but her name is listed as Olive A. The birth years for her from both these Census are a match, 1865. Then someone emailed me her marriage to William Murry BROWN and her name is Olive Adalade JONES who married on 17 May 1885. On the picture it says she married a Charley HEATH first but he drowned. Then I get an email from the people that maintain the Michigan Marriage database and it has Olive Adalade JONES married John F. HEATH in Tuscola County Michigan on 9 Oct 1881. ***** I would like to find out how Heath drowned and his death date, which has to be between 1881 & 1885. 3.>> Last is from Olive Adalade BROWN marriage is my g grandmother, Daisy Mae BROWN. She married a James S. McCOLLUM / McCALLUM. He was know as "Gentleman Jim" and also "Silks" His mother was Scottish and lived for a time in Orange County in Northern Ireland. I was told her maiden name was Sharp or Sharpe. James died in the flu epidemic. He had a brother name John and a sister named Mary. James McCOLLUM / McCALLUM was born 11 Jan 1865 in Prescott? Michigan and died 31 Dec 1918 in Michigan. After James died Daisy married a Nathan Oliver SMITH. He adopted all of the McCOLLUM / McCALLUM children and changed their last name to SMITH. After a unwanted divorce she married a Grant MCGlaughlin. ******* I am seeking for information on James S. McCOLLUM / McCALLUM parents and what his background is. ******Also how to prove that Nathan SMITH did adopt the children and changed the last names. My grandmother says he just adopted her, but my uncle says he did all the children. I would like to clear that up but don't know how to go about with this kind of adoption. So there you have it. I know it's a lot of information but hope you don't mind me posting to other list. I am hoping that someone will have any other kind of information that I don't have. I am really interested in finding more out about James, John and Mary McCOLLUM / McCALLUM parents in Scotland and the adoption I mentioned above. Thanks in advance and God Bless Pam
