 Their parents were James Campbell and Janet Grey. Both parents passed in Paisley in 1850's  This is all the information I have except that one of the daughters married a man surname Adams .Thank you for your input. Alexanderina .

I hope some of this helps?

JAMES CAMPBELL married JANET GRAY 19/10/1799 Paisley Middle banns also at Paisley Burgh or Low 18/10/1799

Children Paisley High Church JAMES 9/04/1802, CHRISTIAN 14/03/1804.

No other records on SP for James Campbell & Janet Gray except HUGH 16/07/1817 = Abbey

No 1851 census for James senior and Janet and no death records on SP for Paisley prior to Statutory Registration in 1855.

There is a death of a James Campbell age 71 in 1855 but I do not think it is he. That James appears with his family in 1851.

This is likely to be James 1802 above = 1851 West Campbell St. abode Martyrs Qs

CAMPBELL   James   Head   48   Hand Loom Weaver (Wool)   RFW   Paisley
CAMPBELL   Mary   Wife   35      RFW   Paisley
CAMPBELL   James   Son   9   Weaver's Drawboy Assistant   RFW   Paisley

CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL   Likely married   WILLIAM BLAIR   11/08/1820   Paisley High Church

MARION BLAIR   Daughter    WILLIAM BLAIR/CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL    30/03/1828   Abbey

The census below is unlikely to relate to the above, even if Janet’s age has been rounded down to 50 from 54 she would only have been 12 when married, unless the original census has been wrongly transcribed?

The only link seems to be Hugh, even his ages do not fit too well, however see below.

1841 census in West Campbell St (Already posted) abode Martyrs Qs

CAMPBELL   James      60   Cotton Hand Loom Weaver   RFW
CAMPBELL   Janet      50      RFW
CAMPBELL   William      26   Silk Hand Loom Weaver   RFW   
CAMPBELL   Andrew      24      RFW   
CAMPBELL   Cunningham   22      RFW   
CAMPBELL   Hugh      20      RFW   
CAMPBELL   Janet      18      RFW

Hugh reappears in 1861.

West Campbell St abode Martyrs Qs

CAMPBELL   John   Head   52   Harness Weaver   RFW   Paisley
CAMPBELL   Anne   Wife   51   Pirn Winder   RFW   Mearns
CAMPBELL   Janet   Dau   17   Harness Weaver   RFW   Paisley
CAMPBELL   Robert   Son   15   Harness Weaver   RFW   Paisley
CAMPBELL   Annabella   Dau   11   Weavers Asstnt   RFW   Paisley
CAMPBELL   Hugh   Lodger   36   Harness Weaver   RFW   Paisley

Good luck, Colin
