I would like to contact you concerning your Brannan ancestors - I saw on another site that you are a descendant of a John Brannan of Bideford.

I was very interesting to see the various Pentland postings and have just joined RootsChat to be able to post my query. I know very little about my Pentland ancestors, as I have never managed to do research locally.

My great grandmother Harriet Campbell (b. 1852 Woolwich) was the daughter of Joseph Campbell and Mary Pentland. The father came from Drumcree and I presume the mother did too (or from that area).

According to the census, Mary Pentland was born in 1820. Her husband Joseph Campbell, born about 1823, joined the Royal Artillery in 1847. Their first child was born about 1842 so they must have married in about 1841. Their other children were Mary Ann, Elizabeth, James, Joseph and Margaret.

So if anyone has a record of a Mary Pentland born 1820 who could be my ancestor I would be very grateful to find out more information on her family, to take the line back further if possible.
