Ann, Donald Christina Ann- Campbell Family Argyleshire

[FAMTREENZ]

Hi,

We are looking for the parents for the above siblings.

Donald Campbell Born 2 Jun 1834 argyleshire, scotland
Christina Ann Campbell
Ann Campbell Born 1838

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. We have tried on Scotland's people, but there's so many. Thank you.

Cheers
Michelle

Hi  Michelle

I'm not sure if you've checked the censuses.

The nearest that I can find on the 1841 is:

Pot Ellen, Kildalton, Argyll
Parish 542 ED 6  page 11

Campbell
Niel , 40, baker
Jannet, 45
Niel,15
Ellen, 12
Charles,10
Mary, 8
Donald, 6
Ann, 4
Archd, 2

All born Argyll
    Scrap this - see below 

No Christina though 

Do you have information about them afterwards - marriage, deaths, emmigration, etc.

The family might not have been Church of Scotland so the baptism records might be difficult to find.


Regards

Hi again

There is a patron submission on the IGI for a Donald Campbell b. 2 June 1834, Inverscaddle, Ardgour.

Parents are shown as John Campbell and Catherine McLachlan.

I'll see if I can find anything that substantiates this.

This looks more like it - IGI, Extracted:

birth 2 June 1834 Ballachulish and Corran of Ardgour


Same parents.


The same batch should have Christina and Ann.

Ann is shown as being born 7 November 1837. Same place. Same parents 


No sign of a Christina/Christian

A brother Robert Campbell is showing  for 7 Dec 1835 - same parents.

SP has them as N of Ardgour, Ballachulish and Corran

There are three other couples called John Campbell and Catherine/Cathrine McLachlan having children around the same time in Argyll - in Kilmore & Kilbride; Ardnamurchan & Strontian an in Kilninver & Kilmelfort.

Given that some of the children are quite close to each other, I don't think that Donald and Ann's parents moved from Ballachulish but it is difficult to decide on some of the births.

I think I'd just take the 3 Ballachulish ones as the same family.

John Campbell and Cathrine McLachlan married/banns 30 May 1833, N. of Ardgour, Ballachulish and Corran of Ardgour.

The full entry can be checked on SP to see if any more information is given.

The family don't seem to be on the 1841 census for that parish and I don't see them elsewhere. Did they emmigrate in the late 1830s?
