Hi Debbie,
I am doing some research for a friend, Robert Davidson, here in New Zealand. Seems that Archibald Campbell is his gg grandfather.
Malcolm (1845), son of Archibald and Catherine married Margaret McDonald (b abt 1848, Tyree) on 2 Jul 1869 in Strrathaven, Lanarkshire. Margaret was the dau of John McDonald, farmer, and Catherine Unknown - can't decipher her maiden name on the index image. Malcolm and Margaret had children Catherine (1870), Flora (7 Oct 1871), Mary (1873) - all born in Strathaven- Sarah (1878) - b. Sandford - and Archibald (1880) - b. Tyree.
Flora Campbell apparently went to work for a family in New York and travelled with them to Bermuda where she met her husband Walter James Lake, a soldier in the 3rd and 4th Warwickshire Regiment. We have not yet tracked down her marriage either in Bermuda, England or Ireland. Walter and Flora had children Mary Alexander (1903), Margaret Gertrude (1904), Edward Gavin (1907) - all born in Dublin, Ireland, Donald Adam (1910), Katerine Alison (1910, d. 1915), William G (1911) - all born in Walthamstow, Essex - and Walter (1916) - born in Bedford, Bedfordshire. THe family emigrated to New Zealand in 1920, departing from Southampton on 2 Dec 1920. Walter James Lake died 1938 and Flora Lake died 1945, both in Dunedin, NZ.
Mary Alexander Lake (1903) married Robert Davidson (1907, Dunedin, NZ), the father of my friend Robert Davidson, on 4 Feb 1932 in Dunedin, NZ. The Davidson family had come from Kincardine O'Neill and Banchory Ternan, Kincardineshire, Scotland and arrived in New Zealand on 26 Oct 1870.
Cheers,
Don Carter
