Sorry Ida,
I forgot to say John MacCallum died 16 Dec 1909 at 63 AvondaleRd., Waverley, Liverpool LAN. Christina born about 1821 died 28th Oct 1888 at "The eyrie" Tobermory" - overlooking Tobermory Bay. I think John moved to Liverpool after this.
Catherine died in Wales 19 May 1935.

trouble finding him after the 1881 census below I know that they are buried
in the Cill An Alein cemetery I have their dates of death there.. Can you
