Donald Campbell

[clazey]

I am stuck at Richmond Bay, PEI Canada with Donald Campbell b. there in 1730.  He married Margaret Fullerton also in Richmond Bay, PEI.  Does anyone have any Campbells who might have left about that time?  Donald also had a brother Alexander...

Hi,
Just to let you know that one of my relatives Agnes Hamilton married a Neill Macdonald whose father was Roderick MacDonald married to a Catherine Campbell on the Isle of Harris.

You may find some of your answers there.  Donald Campbell is a case in point. There is an descendant of his researching his family on Genes, which is where I obtained a lot of my information for this part of my family tree.
Hope this helps.  This section of my tree has over 260 people.

Thank you so very much for the information.  Will see what I can find.

If you become stuck, the person to look for on Genes is either Donald Campbell or Angus Campbell.
Of come back and I will try and bring my tree on line or if you wish to send me a pm with your email address I can invite you to view on Ancestry, though there are gaps, because my computer that i had my original tree on is now out of commission. So the information is not easily obtained but I can see what can be done.
Some of the Campbells are also in Campbeltown, Lochend etc Argyll and in both cases there are Historical Societies to help with Family Research

I will do that this evening. I had been stuck so long that must pinch myself!  Thank you again.

Hi clazey,
How are you doing?  I am afraid that one of the names I gave you is slightly wrong, his name is Angus MacSween and not Campbell, and he does not seem to have his tree on Genes any more but you can find him on Ancestry.
He originally had Catherine Campbell born London, whilst Donald Campbell had her born on Islay.  They are offspring on Gaelic people so you get their full names in Gaelic.  Which I find rather romantic but very long.
I would rather trust either one of them with their research than anyone else on Ancestry, with few exceptions for people researching the same people in other branches of my tree who are related to me and also their direct descendants

Thank you.  I have been doing more on this side of the family...father's as he probably knew the least about his mother's history.  And he is in his 80s now so what you have sent is most helpful.    My father is Malcolm Jardine Spry and his mother was Marjorie Adelaide Jardine b. PEI.  Her grandmother was Adelaide Campbell, PEI...

Hi clazey,
Apart from Argyll, do you have any idea at all whether they were mainland or island people?

Will take a look on my tree for Adelaide and Alexander and let you know.
