Death of John Campbell

[RayDen]

There is a seaman John Campbell age 54 (born 1825) arriving in Sydney New South Wales 20 May 1879.

He arrived on the ship Reindeer of Dundee (can't make out where he sailed from). 

There were 14 crew and 2 passengers.  One of the passengers was Elizabeth Campbell and the list was signed by John Campbell (Master)!!

The ships list is shown under:  "New South Wales, Australia, Unassisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1826-1922"

John Campbell obtained his Masters papers in Liverpool in 1868.

Hi Ray,

Is it possible to post a 'snippet' with enough text to compare with, to see if we can decipher it please?

If the journey was a regular route it may give a clue to where he died if he didn't die in NSW?

Here is the page:  The port is transcribed as Charcuhe.

Need to re-post the page without the origin!!

Ray,

You/we are allowed 'snippets' just not whole docs.

On post #5 clancam said there had been no record of sea faring activity after 1867.  There is a record of a John Campbell [Mate] on a ship Australian Soveriegn travelling from Melbourne to Sydney in 1873.  His age is given as 48 (born 1825) and origin location Argyleshire.

Very frustrating when legwork has already been done i.e. 'double trouble'

Not sure this would be the correct person as OP's man was born Perthshire or do you mean the origin of the ship?
