Hello there,
Grizell Connacher, who married James Campbell, 30 Jul 1774, Logierait Parish, did not die after her last son was born in 1791, in fact it was James Campbell her husband who left her a widow with a young family.
Grizell then married for a 2nd time to Robert Leslie 12 Apr 1794, Logierait Parish and this couple had;
Robert Leslie, b. 8 Feb 1796, chr. 9 Feb 1796 Logierait Parish
Donald Leslie, b.15 Jan 1800, chr. 16 Jan 1800 Logierait Parish
It could certainly be that this 'Robert Leslie' becomes the step-father to Grizell's Campbell children. At least one of her 'Campbell children' had a positive relationship and was fond
of Robert Leslie (read below).
My husband's line comes from Grizell's son, James Campbell (in Nether Balechandy) who married Margaret Robertson, 10 Apr 1802, Logierait Parish.
Marjory Campbell, b. 4 April 1803, chr. 7 April 1803 Logierait Parish
James Campbell, b. 14 Feb 1805, chr. 17 Feb 1805 Logierait Parish
Alexander Campbell b. June 1807 Neither Balechandie, chr. 21 June 1807, Logierait Parish
Patrick Campbell b. 12 Oct 1809 Neither Balechandie, chr. 15 Oct 1809 Logierait Parish
Duncan Campbell b. 2 Jan 1812 Neither Balechandie, chr. 4 Jan 1812 Logierait Parish
Robert Leslie Campbell b. 31 Aug 1812, chr. 2 Sept 1812, Dunkeld, Perthshire
Why Robert Leslie Campbell was christened in Dunkeld is anyone's guess, but he is their son,
and he has been linked incorrectly in other public family trees to a father called Robert Campbell of Middletoun Kerse and Janet Guild both of Logie and Alva Parishes.
Scots Census 1841 - James Campbell is aged 62 years old, b. abt 1779 Perthshire, Scotland and lives at Nether Balachandy in the Logierait Parish and he is a 'Mason' also living with him is Jean Campbell aged 20 years b. 1821, Perthshire Scotland and she also is a 'Mason', Donald Ferguson as 'Lodger' is aged 20 years b.1821, Perthshire and is a 'Teacher Lodger'.
If anyone has anything of Robertson's in Logierait Parish I would like to hear from you, as I have found searching for this 'Margaret Robertson's' parents difficult, as there were about 5 of them all born in the same period up at Logierait Parish.
Robert Leslie Campbell (Weaver) is my husband's direct ancestor and he married Helen Sharp, 7 Nov 1830, in Blackford Parish. They had Ann, William, George, Robert, John and Jane Campbell. William, John and a son of Ann's George Templeton all went to NZ on the 'Canterbury' leaving Glasgow in 1784 to arrive Lyttleton, Christchurch, New Zealand. They were all involved in the Kaiapoi Woollen Mills in it's heyday and their passage was paid for by the New Zealand Government of the day.
