Lanarkshire / Re: Info needed on John Campbell and Christian Stuart?
« on: Friday 23 January 09 21:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Kay,
I'd be interested to know more about your John Campbell, the son of Archibald John Campbell. Was he born in 1797?  I have a John Campbell in my tree, son of John and Christian. He was their first born son. His brother, Alexander b 1808, was my direct relation. Other children of John and Christian were Helen 1799, William 1801, Elizabeth b 1804 etc. They were all born in the Cadder area I believe.

Hi Hanan and MonicaLesl,
Thanks for your help! Monica, thank you for the death info for Maggie Murdoch Campbell - I've been looking 30 years too early as I thought she'd died around 1903! No wonder I couldn't find her!
Hanan, thanks for the links. I'll look them up and maybe can trace where Cawdor is.
Regards,

Lanarkshire / Rev William McKean Campbell found in biscuit tin!
« on: Tuesday 13 February 07 09:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Thanks to my great grandma Rosina Campbell, I have a few very old   but undated newpaper articles  (ie early 1900s) which  have been uncovered in an old biscuit tin! They describe the career of Rev William McKean Campbell from Bishopbriggs, Lanarkshire. In particular, the Boquhanran parish church  and the Kirkpatrick Durham parish church are mentioned.
I'm more than happy to share them with anyone who is researching Rev WM Campbell, so don't hesitate to contact me. :)

Lanarkshire / Re: Wealthy Orphans? Allan Family of Maryhill/Milton
« on: Tuesday 13 February 07 08:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
In regards to Elisabeth Campbell, do you any more details about her? ie parents, birth date, place?
I have a few Elisabeth Campbells from the Bishopbriggs/Cadder area in my family tree, which isn't far from Maryhill.

Regards,
Cheryl

Armed Forces / Help! What was the City Guard??
« on: Tuesday 13 February 07 07:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
Hoping some knowledgable person will be able to help me as I'm a bit stuck.  I've managed to trace my family tree back to  John Campbell, who in 1762 was a soldier in the City Guard in NewKirk parish. I know this was his occupation as it was stated on the OPR Midlothian Proclamations /banns & marriages when he married Christian Stuart on 25th July 1762.  As the OPRs are pretty useless for parent names etc, this appears to be as far as I can go back with this particular ancestor. I"m probably clutching at straws here, but I'm hoping that if I find out what the City Guard was, I can use this as a line of enquiry..

Any help most appreciated,
Cheryl

Lanarkshire / Re: JELLYHILL FARM - Cadder
« on: Wednesday 31 January 07 04:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Lindsay,
No mention of the Gibsons in the letter.  But, on your mention of Isabella Craig, the name 'rang a bell'. In the 1901 census, Alexander and Maggie Campbell originally from Crosshill, neighbours to the Craigs at Jellyhill, were living/staying  in a boarding house at 28 Battery Place Rothesay with Isabella Craig!!  Could this be the Isabella Craig of Jellyhill??  She is stated as a boarder, 68 years old , a widow, and her occupation as a farmer and her place of birth Lanarkshire.  Is this coincidental or what?
How interesting.  Were they taking a holiday together, do you think?
