I have recently received information that my g-g-g-grandmother, Mary McCALLUM, was born on August 17, 1798 in Toquh__an. The researcher could not read the complete place name due to an ink blot. Does anyone recognize this place? John Geary Researching McALESTER and McCALLUM in Argyll.

I believe this is Torchoillean in Campbeltown Parish. It's about 1 km south of Drumlemble which is 6 km west of Campbeltown on the A83 [Campbeltown - Machrihanish]. The Grid Ref is NR 661 190. John's g-g-g-grandmother is probably the daughter of James McCALLUM + Isabell McNISH. Best Wishes Les
