I am seeking details of any descendants of Matthew Campbell, (1763-1823) who was Collector of Customs at Pembroke.
Campbell was married in 1805 to Anne Thomas (nee Adams) but had no legitimate children. However he had at least three illegitimate children by three different women.
1. George Campbell, 1812-? ). George was born at Pembroke on 9th July 1812 and baptised at St Mary's, Pembroke, on 17th July 1812. George's mother was Mary Patterson, an illegitimate child who was baptised at St Mary's in 1798. She married William Hazelwood or Hasslewood, a shipwright at Pembroke Dockyard on 5th April 1818. George lived in the Hazelwoods' household for several years but I have no record of what happened to him. He seems to have disappeared from local records. William Hazelwood abandoned his family about 1823 and was said to have gone to America.
Mary Hazelwood eventually married John Row or Rowe, bachelor of Pembroke, on 25th September 1833. She may have been the mother of Jane Rowe, the daughter of John Rowe, joiner, who was baptised at St Mary's on 6th May 1836, but I am not sure. She was alive in 1841 because records show that she was then in Gaol but what happened to her after her release, or when she died, I do not know.
2. Lettice, supposed daughter of Matthew Campbell Esq by Sarah Hill was bapt. at St Issels on 4.2.1812. This girl was living at the date of Campbell’s death in 1823. She was undoubtedly Lettice Campell [sic] who was buried at St Martin’s Haverfordwest in 1834. A Sarah Hill, X, m. David Griffiths, Labourer, X, at Castlemartin on 1.4.1820.
3. William Campbell, the son of Elizabeth Roch, known as "Bessy", a prostitute of Pembroke. William Campbell was born on 24th October 1818 and baptised at St Mary's on 19th March 1819. He was still alive in March 1827 when the parish paid for clothing for him. He was very probably the same person as William Campbell, a tailor aged 32, born at Pembroke who was living in 1851 at 62 and 63 Crockherbtown, St John’s Parish, Cardiff, with his wife Louisa, a straw bonnet maker and their daughter Eliza Jane, aged 2. Her birth registration (Eliza) is probably Jan/Feb/Mar 1849, Cardiff, XXVI 383. William appears to have died before 1861 since a Louisa Campbell, widow, aged 43, was living at 2 Paradise Place, St John’s, in 1861 with a 12 year old daughter called Eliza J. Campbell, born at Cardiff. She was listed as a straw bonnet maker in Slater’s Commercial Directory, Cardiff, 1858-1859. William’s death registration is probably Oct/Nov/Dec 1856, Glamorgan, Vol 11a, p. 121
I already have a great deal of information about Matthew Campbell, but any information about George, Lettice and William Campbell and of their descendants will be very gladly received. If anyone can also throw any light on the fates of William Hazelwood/Hasslewood and Mary Patterson/Hazelwood/Rowe I shall be very glad to hear of it.
N.B. I already have the information given about these persons in Richard Rose's 'Pembroke People' (Otterquill Books, 2000), and hope that someone will be able to add further details.

Many thanks, Osprey, for that very useful information. I shall now get the death certificates and see what more I can find.
Best wishes,
Abergynolwyn.

Many thanks, Orielbenfro, for your extraordinary efforts on my queries. After putting you to so much work I feel almost ashamed to say that I already have every one of the Campbell and Hazelwood entries you mention, except for the 1873 Campbell one which isn't relevant to my research.
However, certain of the Rowe entries, and I'm very grateful for them, are new to me. Mary Rowe of Moncton Lane sounds a possible candidate for Mary Hazelwood though her actual age would have been about 68 if she was the Mary Hazelwood baptised in 1798. Worth my getting the death certificate anyway.
One tiny correction for your excellent list; I think the witness at Mary Patterson's wedding was Henry Miller rather than Mary Miller.
John Campbell, burgess from 1740 to 1761, was of Stackpole Court and the grandfather of J[ohn] Campbell, lessee of the Watch House in 1790 who was later Lord Cawdor. I have no idea where or what the Watch House was, but I suspect it may have been the town lock-up.
Again, many thanks for your help.

I recall seeing 'Watch House' used with the meaning of Lock-up or a shelter for Constables in other Georgian towns so I supposed that this might also have related to Pembroke.
As to Mary or Henry Miller, I defer to the Authorised Version - by which I mean Mr Rose's 'Pembroke People'.
Best wishes and thanks again,
Abergynolwyn
