Cheers Otto,
I have the same info. but I'm not sure he's the guy I'm looking for. I was thinking William could be a William James but I have since got a copy of the 1901 census and don't think I can make any sort of positive link.
Regards,
Brncam
I had a few credits left with Scotlands people, so I had a look there and I think I've found their marriage in St Mary's Church Port Glasgow Scotland on 1st April 1884.
I have the certificate, and will try to attach or send by PM.
From what i can decipher from the record :
Wlliam was aged 23 , a Coachman, father was Robert Campbell, a labourer(deceased) , his mother was Margaret Campbell , maiden surname Craig.
Margaret was aged 22, a domestic servant, father was William Dinsmore, a labourer, her mother was Martha Dinsmore maiden surname Pollock.
I had a look for their parents marriages and found this one :
27th Oct 1857 Robert Campbell married Margaret Anne Craig at Dunboe Church of Ireland in the Parish of Dunboe Civil District Coleraine County Londonderry .
incidentally if they lived in the Dunboe area, you may be able to find them in the census fragments at :
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirldy/dunboe/1831cen/1831indx.htm I suspect the First child William was born there, but as you can imagine William Campbell is a very common name in Scotland and there is an abundance of births with that name. There are however only three births in Port Glasgow district for 1884, and I suspect one of them is your William.
If you go to
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk , you can buy credits and search.
As to why they were in Scotland, I suspect that the first child was on the way as in the case of my Ggrandparents.
GOOD LUCK
OTTO
