Schooner "Reindeer" 1870s

[Forfarian]

Amused myself by having a look at the shipping intelligence in the online newspapers. Captain Campbell and Reindeer fairly got around.

In 1876 she sailed Bristol - Newport (Monmouthshire) - Lisbon- Palermo - Marsala - Tarragona - Montreal - Aberdeen - Dundee - North Shields - Tarragona - Denia - Montreal - Queenstown - Liverpool etc.

In 1879 Liverpool - Charente - Melbourne - Newcastle (NSW) - Rockhampton - Newcastle (NSW) - Colombo - London

Her owner was Mr W Thomson, Dundee.

Are you sure that Elizabeth Campbell was a passenger rather than the Captain's wife?

I think this early thread may relate to the John Campbell that clancam37 is researching

<Sigh>

Thanks, Kay99.

Are there any more threads about this John Campbell, before I go on duplicating what others have done?

I am not sure what outcome is wanted for this enquiry......just missing Census entries?


Liverpool Mail 12 Mar 1864 p7

... St. Mary’s Church, Edge-hill, by the Rev. J. Hetherington, Capt. Campbell, Woodside Cottage, Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Mary Ann Louisa, eldest daughter of Mr. John Usher, Kensington.

We still need John Campbell's father's name from his marriage certificate.

[Kay99]

Anc has 1864 marriage cert which lists his father as Donald Campbell - contractor and a witness was Hellen Campbell

I think this is approaching an answer (though with all the different threads I'm actually unsure what the question is).
