Can sks please help. Looking for more information re a death at Dundee recorded 3rd November 1891 of John Campbell, born Perthshire. Hope to be able to attach an image from Find My Past of a record of death, not sure he could have died November 1891 or earlier -- there is another date under the ship's name.
Trust someone can assist with further data re this John Campbell identity.
Kind regards

Hi
A quick free index search on Scotlands people shows a Will that might be your mans.
Campbell
John
19/12/1891
Shipmaster, 318 Perth Road, Dundee, d. 03/11/1891 at Dundee, intestate
Dundee Sheriff Court
SC45/31/43
It costs 10 credits to view but if you think it matches it might be worth an look, I've found all sorts of useful info and family members listed in ancestors Wills.
Off to see what else I can find

He died intestate so there is no will. The Probate Index shows that confirmation was granted to Isabell Cameron Campbell or Mortimer, wife of John Mortimer commission merchant and produce broker of Aberdeen.

His death certificate is available to view/download at modest cost on Scotland's People - 1891, Dundee St Peter 282.4, No 494. This should give the name(s) of any wif/ves and the full names of both his parents including his mother's maiden surname.
You cannot get this information from FindMyPast.

Thanks Shaun J for your replies. Will check these names you sent -- they are no relation -- could be business related. MY GGF was born Perthshire 1826 and his Dundee issued Cert. was Nod: 88690.
Kind regards

You may as well bite the bullet and do it now. There isn't really an alternative, and it will cost you less than a cup of coffee or a pint of beer.

they are no relation
John Mortimer married Isabell(a) Cameron Campbell in Dundee, 23 December 1874. From the censuses, she was born circa 1852/3

Looks like she was John Campbell's daughter:
