Here's George and father Richard in 1901 census-

Richard gives birthplace as Rasharkin.

This might be Richard in 1851 census with his mother in Lisnagavor townland- just outside Rasharkin-

No other children listed but they could be away from home at that stage.

Note: Dirraw is likely the name of the registration district and not the actual townland where George was born.

Hi Colin,
My name is Murray Thomson and my Great Great Grandfather was John Campbell (1809-1890) he immigrated to Canada and was married to Elizabeth Elliott (not much information on her other than I am sure they were married in Ireland) and after her death he married Margaret McCallum (1827-1904) she immigrated to Canada from Ireland about 1844, she is my Great Great Grandmother as John and Margaret had a son in Canada Robert Campbell (1852-1923) he was my Great Grandfather. A family member had taken a trip over to Northern Ireland in 1954 and I have some photos of what I believe is the original Campbell homestead where Richard and john grew up. I also have a photo of again I am not sure but I think that it is Richard and George Crawford Campbell. I also have a photo of 4 women who I believe are possibly the Campbell sisters. If you are interested in the photos just pop me an email and i will share them with you. Sincerely, Murray Thomson
