Anyone looking at - or have any knowledge of - the family of Barbara, died 1904, Lambeth, born 1818, Ayr, Scotland?
-
Would this be Barbara's burial? As the one below has the middle name Campbell, which could help to research this lady -
Barbara Campbell McGregor
Age - 86
Burial - 5 Sep 1904, Norwood Cemetery, Norwood Road, Lambeth

1901 -
Barbara Campell McGregor 82 b. Scotland
Flora Campbell Price grndaughter12 b. Middlesborough, Durham
RG13 Piece 421 Folio 117 Page 1, Lambeth.
The grandaughter could help to find some of Barbara's family.

Solway, is this your post or someone else on the same lines http://douglashistory.ning.com/profiles/blogs/samuel-douglas-windsor-castle?id=3482022%3ABlogPost%3A8248&page=2
Lots of interesting details there regardless.

Yes, Monica, my posting. Margaret Douglas, wife of Robert Highet, was a niece of Samuel Douglas, owner of Windsor Castle Plantation, Jamaica. Hence my renewed interest in the Highet/McGregor/Price families.
Thanks again for all your assistance.
