Can I ask for some help again please?

I have Arthur Campbell born 1859 in Glasgow, he married Jane Wright on 02-01-1882 in Glasgow. On the marriage certificate his parents are George and Francina Campbell (ms Robertson).

Can anyone please find parents , siblings and rough DOB for George and Francina for me, I can't seem to find them anywhere.

George was a mechanical engineer / draughtsman and was deceased at time of Arthurs marriage. Francina was also deceased at time of Arthurs marriage.

Thank you in advance,

Sandra

Have you found Arthur on any census? What is his occupation?

Looked for his birth on Scotlandspeople?

Are you 100% sure Arthur was born 1859 in Glasgow?

The only Arthur registered 1859 in Glasgow has parents John and Bridget.

Scotlandspeople:

No sign of a marriage for George Campbell and Francina Robertson.

No sign of a death for Francina Robertson / Campbell.


I'd give consideration to the census where it states Arthur Campbell was born in Demerara, Guyana. (used to be known as Guinea)

Sandra

Sandra Report 22 Oct 2010 15:29

Helen,

I think you may be right as I have the same children on my tree as Arthur and Annie, I've obviously got the other details wrong.

The trouble is, my daughter started the tree, she gave up and I took over so I'm getting a little confused as to how she has Jane as a wife and not Annie.

Thank you all for your patience.

I have to go shopping now, so won't be on for a while.
