Whilst researching my Stewart family tree of Scotland,I discovered a connection through marrage to the Callow family of IOM.
Martin Callow b 1839 m Catherine Redfern b 1839 IOM.Martin was a Iron stone Miner[family trait] They had a number of children-Catherine b 1860 IOM:Martin Thomas b 1862 IOM:William b 1864 IOM:Isabella b 1865,Liverpool.The family then moved to Airdrie Lanarkshire,Scotland.Then to Ayrshire,scotland where more children were born to them:-James b 1867,Dalmellington,Ayrshire,Edward b 1876,Coylton,Ayrshire: Hugh b 1877.Coylton,Ayrshire.all males were I.S.Miners.
Young Catherine m John Lawrie Stewart of Airdrie in 1876.Both the senior Callows and children and the new Stewart family moved to Ayrshire,according to census reports of 1818/1891.Interested in establishing contact with Callows who may be related
