Looking for information on Owen Campbell and a Susana Johnstone they married but have no dates, in 1874 Susana immigrated to Australia, Victoria with her son William and his family the records are below:
CAMPBELL Bessy 27 years Arrived Sep 1874 on the DURHAM Port B Fiche 329 Page 007
CAMPBELL Margaret 2 years
CAMPBELL Susan 58 years [Could this be Margaret and William's mother Susan JOHNSTONE?]
CAMPBELL Susana 1 years
CAMPBELL Thomas 3 years
CAMPBELL William 28 years
From the death certificate of William Campbell it states that he was born in Woodfield, Rosscommon, Ireland.
Any information on this family of Campbell's would be great.
Thanks,
Fran ???

Hello Fran,
There is a death of Owen in 1873 (Boyle reg. district) - would fit with 1874 on Family Search pilot site
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
You would have to send for the certificate for further details - would probably only have his name/residece/cause of death and person reporting.
There is also a birth for a Thomas -1870- parents William C and Bessie Murray and a marriage for William (father Owen) to Elizabeth Murray.
Not much information- you would have to get certificates
best wishes

Thanks v much for that information, on the birth for a Thomas -1870- parents William C and Bessie Murray
This William would be the son of Owen Campbell.

There is a 22yr difference in age! Would there be records available for the marriage of Susan Johnstone and Owen Campbell ???It appears that after Owen died she migrated to Australia with son and family at the age of 57/8.

Hello - those kind of age gaps were quite common I think.
You could look at Family Search library resources to see if there are records on microfilm which could be ordered.
from browsing, the parish looks to be Ardcarn(e) and also Cootethall parish.

I have never been able to find the death record of Susan Campbell nee Johnstone.
As from previous conversations she arrives in Australia in 1874 at he age of abt 58yrs, living in the Darlington area of Victoria. I have thought she may of re married but not luck in finding a marriage entry, any ideas?
