Daniel McCallum (1853-1910) attended Queen's College in Belfast.  He first entered to study Engineering.  The university register shows him matriculating (admitted) in 1873.  He studied through two years of Engineering, and later pursued a career in Law as a Solicitor.

The above register shows Daniel McCallum (M'Callum) as Matriculating in 1873.  He did not obtain and Engineering degree however.  Also, the John McCallum, matriculated 1863, BA in 1866 was a Sr. Inspector of National Schools, having served with William Pedlow who married Daniel McCallum's sister Mary Ann.  So far I have not been able to prove a relationship, however, it seems very likely.
