Campbell Paterson was born in Glasgow on 30 July 1851, son of Robert Paterson and Agnes Campbell. His father started out as a vinegar merchant, and diversifed into othe condiments, sauces and so on. Campbell joined the family business, Robert Paterson and Sons, and in 1876 the company was catapulted to fame when it launched Camp Coffee on an unsuspecting world.
According to the web site of the Fisherman's Chapel in Jersey, there is in the chapel a memorial to Campbell Paterson, founder of Camp Coffee.
I have tried the Jersey Heritage web site, but a search there drew a blank.
Can anyone advise where I might find out when, where and how Campbell Paterson died, whom he was married to at the time, where he is buried, when he came to Jersey, and anything else about his sojourn in Jersey?

deleted wrong info

I'll see what I can find out for you.

PS May take a few days!

Thank you! There is no rush.

There is a brief mention on this website:
http://jersey.typepad.com/the_fishermans_chapel/
But it simply mentions Campbell, but adds the fact that he died in 1927?

Yes. Thank you. You will see from my opening post that I got the information that he died in Jersey from the web site of the Fisherman's Chapel, which is the one you have also found.

Apologies! ;D
But you also said you wanted to know when he died, and hadn't mentioned the year.
So I thought you might have missed it?!
Better to be told something you know, rather than not being told at all?! ;D

I remember the factory in Glasgow, and the aroma, facing Glasgow Green, Greendyke Street maybe?

Indeed.
I would like to know the day and date, place and cause of death. In particular, was he resident in Jersey or just visiting?

Hi Mike
I have located Campbell Paterson's death.
He died in St. Lawrence on 12th Aug 1927. He was aged 76 years and his occupation was given as "ci-devant fabricant de cafe" (not sure what the ci-devant means but devant means before). He died from "embolic coronaire et arterio selerose". The death was reported by Sarah Paterson.
Now, there is an Occupation Registration card at Jersey Archive for a Sarah Paterson, née Cashmore, of Roselea, Millbrook, St Lawrence, born 25/03/1892. This obviously wasn't his daughter but could be his daughter-in-law. There again it could be someone completely different!
As for the monument at Fisherman's Chapel, I have been there and cannot find anything. The sexton did a search of burial records and again there is nothing. There are no plaques in the Church with that name. It was only when I was driving back that I though about the Church silver. Something for another time. But why St. Brelade if he died in St. Lawrence!!

Thank you very much, Stewart, that is great. I am really grateful to you for going to so much trouble.
Curious that there's nothing in the chapel, when the chapel's own web site says there is something!
Ci-devant just means 'formerly' or 'previously' which fits with him having retired and handed over the business to his sons.
I found an advertisement when the company went public in 1952, saying that the original company was converted into a private limited liability company in 1909 with Campbell and his two sons as directors. This could be when he started to draw back from direct involvement.

Hi Mike
Are you still here??
Stewart

Good morning
Was he married to Sarah Cashmore?
-
Hi Vouvray
Yes, he was. He was 72 when he married and she was 31 !! Although they married in Jersey, they gave their domicile as Victoria, British Colombia. The writing is difficult to read but I think she came from Belford, Northumberland and was the daughter of Samuel Cashmore, occupation unreadable (but something maker).
I have located CP's grave (only took me 5 years).

Stewart
If that's addressed to me, I am not Mike, but I am still here, but I have only just found your post as I lost my notifications for a while.
I am all agog to see what else you have found!
Campbell Paterson and Sarah Cashmore travelled together to Canada in 1920. His wife died on 9 September 1923, so it looks as if they got married as soon as he was free to do so.

Where on earth did I get "Mike" from?? ??? ???
After over 5 years, I have found the grave and have photos!!
If you want to PM me with your email address, I will send them to you.

Hi Stewart, I notice you found the grave of Campbell Paterson and had a photo. Please could I have a copy and details of where you found it? I'm researching for a piece about Camp Coffee. Thank you in anticipation. Regards, Gary
PS I was trying to work out how to PM you but couldn't!
-
You need to make another post, or 2, to get access to the PM system ;D
It's to deter spammers, and other nasty people! ;D ;D
-
I'm researching for a piece about Camp Coffee.
I may be able to save you a bit of work as Campbell Paterson was my 6th cousin once removed.
PM me when you you have passed the anti-spam hurdle.
-
Oh thank you very much, any help will be greatly appreciated :)
-
Thanks for that info :)
-
There was a great smell from Camp's factory near Glasgow Green, ;D

Yes, the two Calderwood brides were sisters, and the two Crum bridegrooms were brothers.
The eagle-eyed will have spotted that I don't have marriages or deaths for daughters Maggie or Catherine, or a 1911 census sighting of Mary Ann Davidson or Paterson.

Brilliant, thank you for posting :-) Unfortunately for me Camp Coffee is a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, now I confess I do like Marmite, but.........I'll say no more :P
Thanks again :-)
