Peter Campbell/Phoebe Ann Maynard

[EdCan]

Peter and Phoebe married 18 Feb 1880 Kent Ontario and then seem to disappear. From the marriage registration Peter was born abt 1852 and Phoebe abt 1855. Parents were David and Sarah Ann Maynard and Duncan and Lavina Campbell. I have a fair amount of info re the Maynard family but nothing re the Campbells. I tried looking for Lavina in 1861/71 and 81 census with no luck. I checked familysearch births with parents Peter and Phoebe and also for their deaths with no luck.

Hi

It appears that Peter and Phoebe had at least one child Orma L, as he marries in 1928 in Ridgetown Kent Ontario. He gives his birthplace as Ridgetown.

Cheers

This looks promising, although Phoebe has been badly mistranscribed as Phely.

Thanks karenlee. Have now found death of Peter R Cambell 8 Dec 1895 Ridgetown. Born abt 1851 Harwich Twp,Kent Co. Frustrating that he does not seem to show up on census.
Phoebe and Ormie show up in 1911. Familysearch does not have Orma marriage but does have death of daughter Nina Jean 1930. Mother is Queenie.

I saw the 1861 census. Did the Registrar screw up and put the name of sister Lavina as his mother instead of Mary?
