Hi Tiana
I found your other thread and have put a message on that one:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,297608.0.html
Hi I'm linking this thread to this one: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,296609.0.htmlOn the other thread, Tiana, you said that Anthony and Mary had the following children: Robert June 1811
Anthony July 17 1817
Mary Campbell March 23 1824I have: John - 17 July 1809 Robert - 18 June 1811 Janet - 6 Aug 1813 David - 24 Oct 1815 Anthony - 17 July 1817 James - 1 Sept 1819 Mary - 9 April 1824 all bpt Balmaghie. Do you know who Mary Shaw's parents are? I'm thinking that Anthony's father was a John and Mary's a Robert but the naming conventions can be switched. Gadget

Anthony Campbell was still alive in 1851 but Mary is dead
Whin Parks(?) , Balmaghie
857a ED 3 Page 22
Anthony Campbell, widower, 64, farmer of 26 acres, b. Balmaghie
Margaret Halliday, 15, servant, b. Maybole, Ayr
I can't find a death for him as yet, so he maybe died 1851-54.
Will keep looking.

Apart from MIs, there are no death/burial records online until 1855 
There might be something in the Kirk Sessions minutes or at the Ewart Library, Dumfries:

I'll have a look in the neighbouring parishes of Kells, Crossmichael, Kelton and Parton later. There might be something.

Hi Tiana
Just to update you. I've checked all the MIs for the surrounding parishes but can't find anything.
One thing that might be a problem is that there was a tax on baptism, etc. entries around the time of Anthony's birth and many parents, while having their child baptised, did not pay for an entry to be made This happened to a few of my ancestors in the area and I've had to work things out from MIs, marriage and death records and personal documents.

Hi Tiana
I did do checks on variations of both Campbell and Anthony.

Hi Tiana
I'd start with the National Archives:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk
Try the catalogue or Online Documents. I'm having problems with the linkat the momentt - not sure why - so can't put up the full link 
Dept would be WO.

FR 60 means Frame 60 - it's the reference to the film of the record.
Have you checked the Ayrshire Anthony didn't stay in Ayrshire - any marriages, children, etc.
Colmonell is in the SW of Ayrshire:

bordering on to some of the Easter parishes of Wigtownshire and Minnigaff in Kirkcudbrightshire, so it's a possibility but a distance from Balmaghie
