• Notes

  Margaret Stewart was born in 1798 in the clachan of Morell, Easter Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR records her place of birth as "Moril." Her parents seem to have varied from the traditional Scottish naming custom by naming her after her paternal grandmother, Margaret Mclaren, instead of her maternal grandmother, Elisabeth MacNab. Margaret may have been married firstly to Duncan McGregor in Comrie. (A possible first marriage for Margaret: Margaret STEWART, Sex: F, Marriage(s): Spouse: Duncan MCGREGOR, Marriage: 5 Feb 1819, Comrie, Perth, Scotland. This is the only marriage listed in the parish church register in Comrie for a Margaret Stewart married between 1815-1835.) Margaret married in 1826 in Gorbals (Glasgow), Lanark, Scotland to William McCallum. They had several children born in Glasgow up to 1832 and their next child was born in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, in November 1834. In 1842, Margaret is found listed under her husband,William Callum, residing on Queen Street, Barton District, Gore (Hamilton City), Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, in a residence owned by a landlord named Patrick? Alexander. (His exact name is difficult to read.) William was employed as a carpenter. Two listings away in a residence owned by the same landlord (possibly a multi-apartment dwelling) was John Stewart, also a carpenter, believed to be Margaret's younger brother. Around the corner on York Street, is another of Margaret's younger brothers, Duncan Stewart. In 1851, Margaret is found in St. Mary's ward, Hamilton City, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with her husband, William McCallum, a carpenter, and children. Her place of birth is shown as "Comray" (sic, Comrie). Also residing with them is her 5-year-old orphaned nephew, James Stewart, shown as born in Puslinch (son of Robert Stewart). St Mary's ward was located in the northwest of old Hamilton, in the area including York Street, Queen Street, St. Fillan Street, Ardvorlich Street, Lochearn Street, and Dundurn Castle. In 1858, the Hamilton City Directory shows Margaret and William McCallum residing on Broadway between Queen and Ray streets. William was employed as a carpenter. Broadway Street has not been identified on any old Hamilton maps. It is either an error or the street has been renamed. It is presumed to be in the area of Napier Street. In 1861, Margaret (age 60) and William McCallum (age 80) were residing in St. Mary's Ward in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada (the exact street address is not given). Their daughters Marion (age 18) and Elizabeth (age 25) were residing with them. William was employed as a carpenter. In 1875, the Hamilton City Directory shows Margaret and William McCallum residing at 113 Napier Street, near the corner of Queen Street iabout a block from where they were located in 1842. William was employed as a carpenter. Margaret has not been found in 1881. In 1891, widowed Margaret McCallum was residing with her daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, Robert Stewart, in Ward 7, Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. She died mere weeks after the census was taken.
