HI Ros Ailither!!
I am now going to send you a Private message and all will be revealed.  But also may I suggest you also read my other post the Cummings of Ballycarton which is also on the Derry board. It is linked to Alderman Patrick Campbell.

Hi Summerhill,

I have been reading through your posts and I'm wondering if your family somewhere along the line links in with mine. My father's (Patrick Campbell Mc Laughlin) grandfather Patrick McLaughlin married Catherine Donnelly Campbell on the 4th Oct 1887 in Coleraine. Catherine's parents were Thomas Campbell and Jane Templeton. Some of Caterine's possible siblings are:

John Campbell, 26 Feb 1864, 0363, Aughadowey, Londonderry
Mary Jane Campbell, 06 Oct 1867, 452, Aughadowey, Derry
Charles Campbell, 01 Jul 1869, Londonderry
Thomas Edward Campbell, 03 Jun 1871, 524 Aughadowey, Derry
Grace Campbell, 13 Feb 1873
Rose Campbell, 10 Feb 1877, Macosquin, Londonderry
Bridget Campbell, 29 Jul 1878,  Macosquin, Londonderry

Did you come across any of the above in your searches, if so could you fill me in? I have found out a good bit about the McLaughlin's but not a lot on the Campbells.

Thanks

Hello Fran,
Thanks for your reply.  I am not sure if your Campbells may be related to mine or not but I will give you what ever information I have.  Patrick was born in 34 Ferguson Street Londonderry, on the 19th April, 1872. His parents were Thomas Campbell & Margaret O'Donnell, (They  were married in 1870 in Longtower Church) in turnThomas Campbells'  parents  were William &Mary Campbell . William died in 1865 they lived in Hoggsfolly off Bishopstreet.  I know that William was born around 1807 in Muff, Co. Donegal (His parents being Joseph & Elizabeth campbell).

Back to Patrick again... his siblings were:

William born in 1871 died in 1878
Sarah born 1876 died 1898
Rose Anne born 1873
Bridget  born 1875
Margaret born 1877.

Patricks family lived in and around Bishop Street Derry.

Patrick himself married Anne Elizabeth Cummings on 19th April 1899 in St. Eugenes <Derry.

Now I note from your post that there two ancestors Rose & Bridget Campbell.  There may be a link as I do not know exactly who Thomas Campbells siblings were.

I obtained information about Thomas Campbell when I enquired in Derry City Cemetery Office about campbell burial records and they gave me information on not only THomas
but also William & who his parents were.

So as you can see I am still looking too.  I hope this has been of some help.
Kind regards,

Summerhill

Hi Summerhill,

Thanks for information, it doesn't look like the are related but I will keep searching!! Do I have to visit the Derry City Cemetery Office in person or do they have something online?

Best of luck with your searches.

Hi Fran,
I simply rang Derry City cemetery Office.  I gave them as much detail as I could. I was lucky that William Campbell died in 1865 the year civil registration for Births, deaths & marriages was introduced. But you would have to be certain that your ancestors were buried in Derry City Cemetery.
As some people returned to their home parish to be buried in their family graves.

 Although the staff in Derry City Cemetery office are very helpful & friendly.
regards,
Summerhill.
