Peter Campbell b 1806 Kenmore

[june54]

Hello All
I am trying to trace Peter Campbell who I believe was born in Kenmore in 1806 married to Harriet Robinson.  I have found birth and marriage detail via Scotlands People but cannot find death.  On the 1941 census he is with wife and 3 children John, Mary and Charles in Kenmore.  Harriet appears on 1861 census in London with son Charles and is described as widow.  Cannot find the other 2 children.
I have found an article in the  Northern Warder and General Advertiser for the Counties of Fife, Perth and Forfar - Tuesday 07 June 1842 which gives an account of a strange case of poisoning involving the family of a Peter Campbell incl wife and 3 children living in Kenmore.  Peter and the 2 eldest children died.  The article finishes with a quote from the dying man "O Harriet who could have poisoned me and my children".  This leads me to believe this could be the Peter Campbell I am looking for. 
I would be grateful for any information regarding this family.
Thank you for reading.

Extracts from newspapers on FindMyPast, the first is as you mention.

Sadly no parish death records at Kenmore pre 1855.

Thanks Colin.  Sadly there seem to be no follow up reports in the papers as to what if anything was discovered about the cause of death.
Do you know if there are any trade directories for Scotland.  I believe Peter may have been a shoemaker.  His son Charles is my GG Grandfather so I'm really keen to try and find out more about the family.  It seems Harriet was born in Middlesex then somehow finds herself in Kenmore where she marries Peter in 1836, and then by 1861 she is back in Bermondsey, Surrey with son Charles who is now a brass moulder. Can't find her in 1851 and don't know anything about her parents.
Don't you just love these dead ends!

According to the 1841 census and the second newspaper report Peter was a Merchant. I think if he were a shoemaker it would have stated that rather than Merchant?

For directories you could try the following.

Yes, I did wonder about that.  Thanks again.

Sorry about the directory link I misread the years, the earliest I can find with a mention of Kenmore is 1858.
