I would like to have contact with anyone descended from or researching John Chisholm and his wife, Helen Todd. John was born in Sanquhar Parish, Dumfriesshire and lived with his family (John Chisholm & wife, Agnes McCrone) in Kilmarnock Parish, Ayrshire. He married Helen Todd 31 March 1849 in Kilmarnock. They moved several times and lived in Kilmarnock, Greenock, Springburn, Lanark, Anderston, Glasgow, and Cambusnethan, Lanark at various times. Their children were born in all these places.
The children of John Chisholm junior and his wife, Helen Todd were:
John Chisholm, born in Kilmarnock, probably died as a child.
William Chisholm, born 20 April 1855 in Kilmarnock, probably died as a child.
Robert Chisholm, born 22 Sept. 1856 in Greenock, Renfrewshire, probably died as a child.
James Chisholm, born 24 Nov. 1862 in Springburn, Lanark. He is listed on the 1881 census with his father. He is probably the only child of John and Helen who lived and may have married in Glasgow after 1881.
Helen Chisholm, born 28 June 1865 in Anderston, Glasgow, probably died as a child, not with parents on 1881 census.
Archibald Chisholm, born 2 June 1867 in Anderston, Glasgow, died before 8 Dec. 1870.
Archibald Chisholm, born 8 Dec. 1870 in Cambusnethan, Lanark, died as a child. Dead by 1881 census.

Dan,
I am interested in your depiction of the Chisholm's of Strathglas. I see you ID the "Donn" name on some and not others in multigrnerational. I had understood the "Donn meant "Brown" eyes or hair. Given that it carried into several generations, do you know why?
My family of MacDonald's from Upper South River/Springfield also carried this "Donn" reference/ No one in my family can tell me why? Any ideas? I do not where in western Scotland they came from, but my GGG Grandfather Donald MacDonald, married a Mary Gillis of Kinlochmorar and had a son Duncan Donn in 2805. Mary a widower and her son immigrated to Antigonish (1806-1820). Duncan's children were all named Donn's (sp. Douns).
