Flora Campbell
« on: Wednesday 25 August 10 18:57 BST (UK) »
In 1901 Flora Campbell born 31 Oct 1873 is living in Raleigh Twp,Kent Co,Ontario. I would like someone to see if she is in 1911 and did she marry.I think that Mary Anne Mead who she is living with is her grandmother but can not prove it unless Flora married.

Good morning Ed,

I came across a couple of things on Ancestry that may be related to your Flora. There were a number of Flora Campbell marriages listed in Ontario, but I found only 2 in Kent Co.. The first is:

Flora Campbell
married George Clark
27 Apr 1881
Howard Twp
Registration # 34146
Archives of Ontario Microfilm #MS932_32 (you can get this thru LDS as well but different film #)

This Flora could be related to the next Flora.

The other Flora is:

Flora Mary Campbell, b abt 1875 in Howard
married Wm Richardson, b abt 1875 in Howard
31 Dec 1903
Kent, Kent Co.
Archives of Ontario Microfilm #MS932_110 (again you can get this thru LDS as well but different film #)

Again both of these are my best fitting finds and must be confirmed.

If this is the correct one you will likely not find her in the 1911 census as Flora Campbell, but as Flora Richardson. Sorry, I didn't get a chance to look for 1911 census. You can do this as Susan suggests or possible through the Archives of Canada site.

The marriage registrations' microfilm can be ordered through inter-library loan I believe or through your local LDS family history library. Hope this helps you out.

Hello Ed

Assuming it is your query about Flora on the Genforum website (?)......

Also assuming the family with Flora Campbell found therein on the 1891 Census yours?

This seems to be a very elusive family .... no apparent birth registrations with parents Duncan Campbell and Louisa Mead(e) you mentioned on the other forum.

Haven't been able to turn up any info for Flora's probable siblings Huron and Isabell Campbell you inquired about on the other forum.

Thanks polarbear,JDC and susano

I did not know of the site susano pointed out - so thanks for that.
I am trying to trace some of the children of Thomas and Marian Mead and 3 of the daughters marriages and family information is just about nil.I guess that I need to order some microfilm and see what shows.

Much appreciated

Hi Ed,

When I was searching for Flora I came across this mis-transcribed record for Isabellia in Ancestry. When I first looked at it I thought it wasn't right one for Flora, but now I think it is something for you to check out :-) Could she be a sister to Flora?

Name: Isabellia Campbell
Date of Birth: 21 Jan 1872
Gender: Female
Birth Place: Howard, Kent
Father's Name: Archibald P. Campbell
Mother's Name: Janet McDonald
Reg # 013276
Archives of Ontario Microfilm: MS929_8

Hope this helps,

Hi Ed,

I guess i'm a bit cloudy here. Is Flora Campbell a maiden or married name? If it is her married name, is her maiden name Flora Mead(e)? If that is the case, I'm a bit off the beaten family path :-(

Campbell should be her maiden name.If it isn't then I am really out in left field.
In my origonal post I stated that Mary Ann and Flora should be grandmother and granddaughter which is wrong .It should be aunt and niece. Mary Ann's husband James Mead had a sister Louisa.Louisa is supposed to have married Duncan Campbell.
I need to prove that  Flora is the daughter of Louisa and Duncan.
Does that help at all?
