Hi Christine, Many thanks for this info, I'll follow it up and with any luck Ann Campbell will be related in some way, there's an Isabella Campbell in the tree married to Andrew Campbell 27th September 1851 South Knapdale and on the census records Isabella was born in Greenock and both she and Andrew lived out their lives in South Knapdale Argyll.  On the 1871 census for Andrew and Isabella it does not! say "place of birth" for Andrew that he born in South Knapdale? but gives an illegible place which is neither South nor North Knapdale, I will check with SP and ask them to clean up this record, the family above them on this record are from North Knapdale.  Moving forward to the 1901 census the enumerator has Argyll but in red ink has put, "place of birth Millport Argyllshire", so he's made this decision himself? Millport comes under Argyll & Bute  but there is no birth for an Andrew Campbell on Millport, again I will check with SP.  This may take a bit of time to check out all of these inquiries but I'll get back to you Christine and let you know how this works out.  In the meantime I'm going to go back over every certificate I have for the family and send SP a list and hope they are "happy to help"  

Hi Christine, The last thing any of us need is to be contacted by someone who has the wrong family info, so many names are the same in these Campbell lines from Argyll and I certainly don't want to waste your time! been there, done that and it's so annoying! See below for a quick rundown of some the family info for my Campbell family and let me know if this info is also in your tree.  Your info about 5 of your Campbell's leaving Scotland is so similar to the general talk (gossip) in my Campbell family, but so many folk left Scotland way back then for a better future for their families and lets face it Christine life was tough here in those days so who could blame them!.  I'm going to check with some another relatives to find out what info they have on their Canadian relatives and get back to you if this works out.

Hi Wyanga, Thanks for replying, do you have this information below for Duncan & Agnes? just checking that we have the same family. All my certificates are  via www.scotlandspeople.gov
Marriage: Duncan Campbell & Agnes McKeol 19th July 1757 Lochgilphead Argyll. Ref: 527/1 20 60

Agnes, Annie etc are the same person, same with Elizabeth, Isabella and Grizzle.

            Your link to Familysearch has provided 9 children for Duncan Campbell and Agnes / Anne Mckoel.
    If the Mckoel name did pass out of useage in late 1770 then it would seem to be reasonable to assume that those family members may have adopted the clan name McNaughtan or variations of it in subsequent years.
   The death certificates that we are looking at are 80 years later so most likely reflect that change.
 We have a James Campbell with Parents Duncan Campbell and Nancy Naughtan that we believe must be of the same family but he is not included in the familysearch Christenings, but there are no children recorded from 1771 to 1775. From his death certificate he would have been born 1773 .
    Again it would be reasonable to assume that for some reason his christening may have been missed in the transcriptions . This would make 10 children in the family and solve our dilemma in making our records  " fit ".
   Thank you very much Monica for your assistance.
