I am helping a friend with their family tree . I have no idea as to where the Campbell family came from in tyrone, or even if they did.
Here is what I do know.
Edward Campbel was born in tyrone? in 1815-1818 depending on what canadian census you look at after the family arrived between 1850-1852
Reason is, the last child born in Ireland was Mary Ann born feb. 15,1850 while their first child born in the new land was Catherine Campbell ,July 13,1852. Again the census have this child being born in the United States and also in Canada.
To Edward & Mary Ann Niblo/Niblow/Niblock who marred in 1838 ( according to the one canadain census)
The following children were born in Ireland
Samuel: Nov. 27,1839
Thomas: Nov. 7,1841
Edward ( JR) Feb 14,1844
George: April 12,1846
Margaret Anne: Dec.3,1847
Mary A.: Feb 15.1850
Born in Canada were:
Catherine?/ Sarah/John/James/Richard/William/Jane and Robert.
For a while the family is listed as members of the Church of Ireland, the later on they become Presybterains.
Last point of interest is:
I understand that Edward Senior's(born 1815-1818) father was a member of the [color=

Lodge[/color], as would be all of Edwards' male children and future generations.
Am taking a guess that some of Edward children would be named after family members on both sides.
So perhaps, the 1st born child of Edward would be Samuel, after Edward father.
Thank-you for any leads or help you can give me.
