My Granddad John McCallum born 1885 Govan. Left for South Africa in 1920 to work as a brassmoulder for Francis & Graham in Durban. He left the company that same year and has not been heard of since.

I do have a record of an arrival from South Africa in 1929 that looks very much like him.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Scotlands People shows a John McCallum who died in 1962 in Govan aged 78. He might be worth a look. You can download his death cert for a small fee, and that will give you his parents plus wife(s) plus occupation.

Thanks for that Lesley, I have already looked at that one. I think he may have gone abroad.
