CAMPBELL Family Tree Kirkcudbright

[Tiana]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this chat. Looked like a good place to post some of my genealogy. I am looking for information on the Campbell's from Kirkcudbright. I have gone back to 1811 but am having trouble going any further. I recently emailed a farm to find out if my gggggrandfather was a farmer there, and it was confirmed. Thats it, she had nothing else for me.

Robert Campbell b. 1811 Kirkpatrick Durham/ farmer 400 acres, employing 4 servants.

children
George
James
Adam
John
Homer my ggggrandfather
Martha married a Sherman

 anyone having any knowledge of this tree living or deseased that would be great.

I think that this post might do better on the Kirkcudbrightshire board, so I am going to pop it over for you.

Hello Tiana


If your people died in Scotland and were substantial farmers, there's a good chance there will be a will on Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk- that section is free to search.  Regards,   Steve  :O)

Any information beyond this would be great. I haven't found any death records for any of them.

Hi

I'm linking this thread to this one:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,296609.0.html

On the other thread, Tiana, you said that Anthony and Mary had the following children:

Robert June 1811
Anthony July 17 1817
Mary Campbell March 23 1824

I have:

John - 17 July 1809
Robert - 18 June 1811
Janet - 6 Aug 1813
David - 24 Oct 1815
Anthony - 17 July 1817
James  - 1 Sept 1819
Mary - 9 April 1824

all bpt Balmaghie.


Do you know who Mary Shaw's parents are? I'm thinking that Anthony's father was a John and Mary's a Robert but the naming conventions can be switched.

Don't know where you are getting this but great, I'll check on the John and Robert. I do not have Mary Shaw's parents.
