Neil Campbell

Post by rubeaz » Wed Apr 01, 2009 11:21 am

I've just used all 30 credits looking at the OPR's for my ggg grandfather Neil Campbell. Got very excited!!!!! :D
Unfortunately, I have no idea which one he may be, although I think he may have died in 1847 in Glasgow Scotland. I have not been able to find him on the census. He was married to Catherine Whitelaw who I cannot find any info on her at all. :roll:
My gg grandfather was also Neil Campbell born around 1811-1814 in Co Londonderry and died in Scotland 1858. I have his death certificate which states parents Neil Campbell (Handloom Weaver) and Catherine Whitelaw both deceased.
Not sure what to do now :?: - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers from Australia (KAY)

Hi Rubeaz:

I'm on my way out to doctor's appointment, so no time to follow-up, but ...

IGI entering only Fathers Name and Mothers Name found two of Neil and Catherine's children, and there may be others, if you have time to check it out. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/ ... search.asp

Listed are:

CATHERINE CAMPBELL (Extract)
Birth: 02 JUL 1825

Christening: 14 AUG 1825 Cathcart, Renfrew, Scotland

Parents:
Father: NEIL CAMPBELL
Mother: CATHERINE WHITLAW

________________________________

JANE CAMPBELL (LDS member submission and Extract)
Female

Event(s):
Birth:
25 DEC 1827
Christening:
20 JAN 1828 Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Parents:
Father: NEIL CAMPBELL
Mother: CATHN. WHITELAW

In another record, Neil was spelled Niel and you will notice in Catherine's record her mother is listed as Whitlaw, rather than Whitelaw.

Will check back later, but someone may pick up from here in the meantime.

Frances
John Kelly (b 22 Sep 1897) eldest child of John Kelly & Christina Lipsett Kelly of Glasgow

Thanks paddyscar, :D
These are their children but am trying to find more clues on parents Neil Campbell and Catherine Whitelaw.
BMD information ? None found.
:oops: I have not been able to find them on any census. I think I have looked at nearly every available census with no luck.
Is it possible I won't find this infomation? :roll:
Regards Kay
