Can anyone help me with info about the ancestors of my 3x g grandfather Thomas McCulloch. According to census info he was born in Scotland anywhere between 1811 and 1816, although the dates may not be accurate. I would love to find out which part of Scotland he originated from. He married Elizabeth Rewcastle in 1935 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, surname recorded as McCollock. Their children were Barbara, Jane, Edward, Eleanor and William. He appears to have been known as Thomas Colley according to 1851,61,71 and 81 censuses but his name at death was recorded as McCollich in 1891. I have no info regarding his parents or siblings. His father's name was not shown on the marriage entry in parish records, so I am really stuck. Another spelling of the surname which has been used is McCullock. He was an iron worker for most of his life but became a coal miner later in life. I would welcome any information at all, or any suggestions.

Thanks
Clare
