Cecilia Campbell, Gortin, Ireland

Re topic above - I have been trying to do some research for my wife on her genealogy.  I have found her grandmother, Cecelia/Cecilia Campbell living in Co Tyrone, Ireland in both the 1901 and 1911 Irish census.  We know that her parents were American - her father was Dan Campbell - and that she was left in Ireland with an Uncle and 2 Aunts, and she ended up staying, iving and dying in Ireland.

She was born around the later 1880's.  In the 1901 census a sister called Alice was also listed in Ireland with the Uncle/Aunts.  Alice perhaps returned to America before the 1911 census as she does not appear there.

Any ideas on how to find out more on the American link?

The 1901 census record for Cicely (and Alice) already found on other thread.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

No, unfortunately just the fathers name (from her marriage certificate).
