Cumberland / Campbell and Fairley families
« on: Thursday 26 April 18 15:17 BST (UK) »
My PARKER family goes back some years in Carlisle, my father (John), grandfather (Samuel) and great-grandfather (James) all being Carlisle born. I lived for a short period in Colville Street in Dentonholme and have a few memories of that time. I was aged about 3 or 4. We also made many visits to Carlisle on the way south on our camping trips. I wonder if anyone is researching PARKER ancestors in Carlisle. I'd happily share the information I have.
My question here is about FAIRLEY and CAMPBELL links. My grandfather Samuel Parker married Jane Ann Campbell; her father was known as John Campbell. John Campbell married Isabella Talbot from Dalston. They were married in St Bede's, both families being Catholic. In their marriage certificate the father's name has a strike-through line in place of a name. On a visit to the Carlisle Register Office a couple of years back we searched for John Campbell's Baptism Certificate and found a John Campbell baptized on17th October 1869; mother is given as Ann Campbell. No marriage details (conjugatum) or father's name is given. In the 1881 Census I find a John Campbell (age 11), grandson of Alice Fairley. Tracking to the 1871 Census, this family has a John Fairley (age 1) given as son; other family include Head - Alice Fairley (age 47 and unlikely to have a son at this age). There is also an Ann Fairley (age 25) whom I suspect was John Campbell's mother.
With the above information it has not been possible to retrieve a Birth Certificate for John Campbell. Anyone got any ideas on how to proceed?
