Hi sharn8

Can you fill in a bit of detail as to where you found some of the information you have, please? It helps us to help you if we know what your sources are. Where have you seen Duncan Canpbell's parent names and how do you know he was born in Kenmore? Do you know where Donald was born?

Best wishes
Lesley

The 1841 census on Free Cen has a likely looking family indexed as:

Piece: SCT1841/360 Place: Kenmore -Perth Enumeration District: 8
Civil Parish: Kenmore Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: Kenmore
Folio: 8 Page: 4
Address: Rinerhulk

Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
CAMPBELL Peter M 30 Farmer Perth
CAMPBELL Mary F 26 Perth
CAMPBELL Christian F 5 Perth
CAMPBELL Dun. M 4 Perth
CAMPBELL Peter M 1 Perth
CAMPBELL Christian F 30 Female Servant Perth
CAMPBELL Ann F 12 Female Servant Perth
CAMPBELL Dond M 25 Male Servant Perth
WILSON Malcom M 40 Agricultural Labourer Perth

Head of household is Peter, apparent wife is Mary, and probable children consist of Christian, Duncan, and Peter which all fit your criteria. The address name of Rinerhulk I've seen elsewhere on the internet spelt Rhenachuleigh (Rein-a-chuilg) but have no idea just how that is spoken!!!

I have no other particulars on this family so have no idea if this is the Duncan you are seeking!

Best wishes

Hi Sharn8,

The place Jean has found can be seen on the following old maps. It is to be found at the west end of Kenmore parish, almost at Killin, just inland of the north shore of Loch Tay, towards its west end.

Rhenuchuleigh (1830s)

Rynachulig (1860s)

I don't see it on any modern day maps.

All the best,

AndrewP
