Death of John Campbell

[clancam37]

Can sks please look up Scotland's People on my behalf.
Looking for death of my GGF, John Campbell born 1826 Longley's Perthshire,Scotland, Parents Duncan Campbell and Elizabeth Baxter. John had sisters, Catherine,Mary,Jane and Helen. Have searched for approximately 23 years for his date and place of death -- looked everywhere except Scotland's Peoples -- a little expensive for aged persons.   As he was a Master Mariner have looked world-wide without success.
Kind regards

Hi CC,

Do you mean New Register House or SP website?

Could this be him (age out a bit) but not uncommon depending on who the informant was;

CAMPBELL JOHN
55 (would make his birth year 1806)
1861
348/ 23
Dunblane

You may find an obituary online but an actual death cert. can only be obtained through SP.

"Credits cost £0.25 each and are available in batches of 30 (£7.50) or 40 (£10) from the buy credits page. The number of credits and costs of digital images for the different record types are as follows:

Statutory registers of births (older than 100 years), marriages (older than 75 years) and deaths (older than 50 years) cost 6 credits (£1.50)"

A cup of coffee costs more

Just wondering, have you searched census records to narrow down his last existence?

Was his wife a widow on any census or did she predecease him?

You haven't mentioned his children?

Do you have them on census'?

Marriage certs for children would give his occupation & his status as 'deceased' if that was the case which would narrow things if alive when one was married but deceased when another married?

HI Rosinish,
Thanks for your replies, very much appreciated.
I was suggesting look-ups on the Scotlands Peoples website an excellent site but a little expensive for persons on fixed incomes.
Last found him on Liverpool UK 1871 Census at Liverpool with his family, all of whom migrated to Victoria, Australia.  All the family died in Australia and accounted for.  My GGF is the only one missing.  Cannot find his death anywhere and Scotlands Peoples seems the last hope.
He gained his Masters Ceritificate at Dundee Scotland 10 May 1854 and after a shipwreck a replacement Masters Ceritificate issued at Liverpool UK September 1868.  There is no record of sea-faring activity after 1867.
Kind regards

In that case if you know he was still alive in 1867 then that death in 1861 can't be him.

As for a look-up on SP, it's a pay-per-view site i.e. would cost anyone else to look it up & probably a lot more than £1.50 not knowing where or when in Scotland he died & a common name but strangely the one I found has a mother's m/s of Baxter & coincidently, near to where he was born.

How sure are you of his last seafaring date?

Have you checked this death for a John Campbell birth year 1826

That looks good Rosie,

I didn't search elsewhere as OP said;

A pity it wasn't on SP as it would have been a fraction of the price.
