thank you both for your replies
john Left in 1840 once he joined the army, never returned
john married twice and had 9 children
the name campbell has been passed down through the generations, i wondered if it could have been his mothers maiden name?

does not seem so, or it could be, if rachael was born in 1807 she would have been 13/14 when jane was born, possibly underage child taken on by thomasson the mother as her own,
UPDATE**
Jane was the Daughter of John & Thomasann Clark
Baptised on 12/8/1821 in Ford, Northumberland

Northumberland / Rachael Hastie d.Feb 1875
« on: Monday 31 August 20 07:48 BST (UK) »
good day all.
Looking for help with birth and marriage info on my 3rd gt grandmother.
She was born about 1807 (from death certificate,no parents listed, only husband)
All censuses show she was born inTweedmouth/Berwick.
Her huband was James Hastie ( blacksmith) b1808 statuses state Tweedmouth also. Although dna has proven a link to james hastie born 1808 in edinburgh
She had 8 children to james
She also had an illegitimate child prior to meeting James Hastie.
For the life of me i cannot find birth or marriage records for Rachael/Rachel
I have tried all variations on name. Nothing. I have trawled through bishops transcripts , birth and baptisms records, marriage records but unable to find anything on her prior to 1827.
I am Currently looking into a possible fisher woman connection on the east coast. As a lot of women followed the herring. From the north of scotland to the south of england, many of which married locals and settled.
Any help would be appreciated
Colin

Armed Forces / Henry fewell b. abt 1839 Royal marine light infantry
« on: Monday 05 May 14 18:24 BST (UK) »
Trying to locate more details on Henry Fewell,
He married an Eliza Scott in berwick upon tweed in 1871. a newspaper cutting says they were both from berwick upon tweed, he was a RN marine, the only Henry Fewell i can locate was born in Moreton, Ongar Essex,
(in 1871 census returns he shows up onboard HMS Rainbow)
Which ties up with a Henry Fewell who served in the RMLI from 1858 to 1873 when he was discharged as an invalid, i cannot seem to find anything else out about him, the family seem to think he was lost at sea, but yet again cannot locate anything on a death for him, any help would be appreciated
Regards
Colin
