Parents/Sister of Mary Elizabeth Campbell
« on: Thursday 15 November 18 15:36 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, I have the DN of an ancestor, Mary Elizabeth (Campbell) Goulding, died
May 07, 1929 in Kroonstad, and an approximate birth date from that of 1869 (perhaps Whittlesea). Would anyone be able to find out anything about her parents (tentatively Joseph Thomas Campbell and Bridget (Holton)Campbell) and sister (possibly Bridget Isabella (Campbell) Blane. I'd merged the tree I'd compiled with another based on some possible duplicates, but in hindsight we've decided it was not necessarily accurate, so we've "detached", and are each trying to find evidence....Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

According to an online site Bridget Isabella 20/5/1905 - 10/5/1961 married a James Starr Blane (not Blaine).

If you google her name it will lead you to the site which gives the names of her siblings as well as parents.

Thanks. That connection with Bridget Isabella is what I've relied on in the past, but there isnt any supporting info for whether Bridget Isabella is a sibling of Mary Elizabeth. That's what I'm really trying to establish.

According to the death notice of Johanna Hendrina Kempster (previously married to Stephen) and the mother of Bridget, there is no Mary Elizabeth listed as a daughter.  The only other daughter is a Winifred Elizabeth who married an Evans.

Thanks Nookie that confirms that Mary Elizabeth had different parents to Bridget Elizabeth. Ill so some more digging into Mary. There is a Mary Elizebeth listed as a child of one of the 1820 settlers but I think sue was born too early for it to be the same one.

A Mary Elizabeth Campbell married a Charles Freemantle Goulding.  She died in the Free State in 1929. I am trying to find her estate file/death notice to see who her parents were.  Did find a possible sibling - a son of Joseph Thomas and Bridget Holton. Also spotted an estate file for a Holton Patrick Campbell who died in 1958. With those names I am sure he must be a grandson to Thomas and Bridget!

Ah - just reread your original query and see you have her death notice!

Yes I'm a descendant of Charles Freemantle Goulding and Mary Elizabeth Campbell. There was a family anecdote about her father being a Donald Campbell, who headed up the gaol in PE or EL after arriving from Scotland, but it may not be accurate. I agree, with those names you may have identified a grandson.
