Hi, cambo,
Your best bet is to put your request on the relevant board - it might get
missed here. Click on "Forum" and scroll down.
Try and include as much detail as you can.

Hi Cambo welcome to the most fascinating hobby. What exactly do you want to find?
I assume he is James CAMPBEll born 1824 Liverpool who in 1841 was with Caroline born 1827 Shrewsbury in 1851 they are on the census HO107 2186 fo 406 p 12
He was a bookkeeper to a metal Merchant and lived at 37 Chester St,. Toxteth They had Louisa age 3 and Mary 9 months old
Now is that the right family and what do you want to find out Have you found their marriage and their parents?
We need a little more please

got all the census but the births only started from 1841 tried the find my past but james campbell is a popular name
-
It looks like Caroline was born 16 May 1827 and baptised 13 Feb 1829 in St Chad Shrewsbury
dur of William Walker and Mary Anne Family Search C015754 1828 - 1844
Always save the references as you find information so you can go back and check and so you can see how reliable the information is now if you go to Family search and put C015754
in the Batch number box and william Walker in the Father's boxes and Mary Ann in the mother's name box you will find if they had other children

Caroline had a brother George and sister Louisa so that's why she had a child with that name
Now look for the William & Mary on the censuses at least that gives you a start on one side of your tree? His name and place of birth is a bit more of a problem but not hoeless

-
Yes they are there in 1841 HO107 £ Fo 26 P 2
it looks like William the father has died and the three children are with their mother she is given as 50 which means she was born between1786 and 1791 (the 1841 census was rounded)
Caroline's brother was a Watchmaker so look in trade directories for him they are still in St Chad Shrewsbury
have to go now hope this gives you a start
