Mary Catherine was the child of Thomas Lawrence Chisholm and she was born I think 1/23/1919 in Winona county, mn. Her mother was Mary Norton Chisholm and she was a post mistress in St. Charles, Mn. Mary C's father was killed in an accident with a train soon after she was born. This was a very tragic story because he grew up in the St. Charles area and married Mary Norton a former neighbor. He was a war hero in WWI. His brothers were Fay, Colin and 2 step brothers one named James and I'm not sure about the other one. If you have anymore information that you would like or can share please let me know. I know more info about Lawrence and am in constant constant with his brother Patrick Fay's family.

Hi Joyce,
John Murdoch Chisholm was born 1 March 1855 at 29 High St, Nairn (from his birth cert). Parents listed as Colin Chisholm, born Dingwall. His age is given as 59 which gives a birth year of 1796. As he is the informant you would imagine he knew his own age, although his death cert puts his birth abt 1806. Mother of John Murdoch is Margaret Fraser aged 35 giving year of birth abt 1820.
Colin Chisholm's parents were Colin Chisholm & Catherine Campbell. Margaret Fraser is the wife listed on Colin's death certicate, (1868) & she is also the informant so is still alive in 1868, when Colin died. Colin died at their residence in Wilson Street, Nairn, which is where the family (Colin, Margaret & children Margaret, Donald, Hector & John) are living in the 1861 census.
So, it must be another Colin Chisholm who married Isabella Fraser & had a son Hugh.
Hope this helps,

Joanne,
I can understand your excitement. My brother does all of the research on the Chisholm side of our family. I just returned from Edinburgh, Scotland and it was amazing!
I don't know if you've heard of the battle of Culloden, but our Chisholm ancestors fought on opposing sides, so we had family fighting against each other.
As for John Chisholm, we are related to a John Chisholm but I'm not sure if he is the same one. I'll contact my brother to see if he is the same one you are searching for.
Toya
