Hi!
I was doing a search online for Alderman Patrick Campbell's obituary from the Derry Journal and I came across this thread. So exciting. I'm an historian finishing a book manuscript about Derry from the turn of the century and Patrick Campbell is one of my favorite historical figures. Right now I am trying to compare the way the first Catholic nationalist politicians of the city (Catholics do not get representation until 1896) to those that are passing now, e.g. Bishop Daly, Paddy 'Bogside' Doherty, etc.  I'd love to exchange information (I have a fair bit on him) and would particularly appreciate the obituary if anyone has ever found it for you! 
All the best,
Margo

Hi Margo,
I do have that obituary got it from one of my Derry Cousins. I will email it on to you.
I would also love what ever information you have on him as I know nothing about his political career only from the geneaological aspect.

On behalf of my daughter, I would like to thank you all for this great research. She is the great great grand daughter of Patrick. She has to do her family tree for homework and thanks to you all she has loads of information on her family.

Hello Married a Campbell,

I am a great grand daughter of Patrick.  I have photographs of Patrick, his wife Annie, and his family.  I also have information about his time on Londonderry Corporation along with his obituary from the Derry Journal.

I would be delighted to share them with you for your daughters' project. I also have the family tree done out which I am sure would be of great interest to her.

If you post two more replies, I can then message you privately with my email address.

warmest regards,

Summerhill

I received to day my gggGrandfathers death Certificate:William Campbell died 27/01/1865 his death certificate address is 6 Ferry Row Derry, but Derry city cemetery's records give his address as Hoggs Folly, Derry. Does any one know if Ferry row and Hoggs Folly are the same place? And also do these streets exist any more.  William was Alderman Patrick Campbells Grandfather.

Hi Summerhill
The street you are enquiring about Ferry Row was on /off Bishop St. According to John Bryson's book 'The Streets of Derry' . I researched further and discovered that there was a greengrocers shop on the corner owned by a man called John Ferris and this led to the street being mis-named as Ferris Row.
I have james on my tree also. His father was William Campbell married to Anne Campbell b.1809 d.25/4/1886 (O'Neill St Derry which was off Henrietta Street)
Hope this helps regards Soupie
