CAMPBELL family of Luton
« on: Tuesday 11 July 17 13:42 BST (UK) »
I have recently discovered the death certificate of Angus McDonald Campbell who died in August 1993, aged 89, at Abbeyfield Care Home in Ballachulish, Argyllshire, Scotland. His normal address was in Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire but the informant on the death certificate was his son (first name hard to read) who lived at 133 Brendon Avenue, Luton, Beds. Angus was the widower of Janet Dryburgh Campbell nee Wilson and I believe she died in Luton in December 1975. I am completely at a loss as to why somebody from that area of England should come to the West Highlands of Scotland to spend his final days. Does anyone have any knowledge of this Campbell family in Luton?
Thank you

Was he born in Scotland?  He may have wanted to end his days in the country of his birth

The marriage was in Scotland in 1930 registration St Andrews Edinburgh which is where Janet's birth was registered in 1905

No Angus McDonald Campbell birth on SP around 1904/05

Yes Angus was born in North Morar (Mallaig) in 1904 where his father was a policeman.
He also had two sisters , Jessie born 1906 and Catherine born 1910.

His birth is just shown as Angus Campbell on SP.  Presumably the McDonald was added later
