Margaret Campbell, born 1909, Canada.

[DixieDee]

Hi.
Trying to find out what became of Margaret Campbell, born 30 April 1909, Toronto, Canada.
Father, Robert Campbell, mother Margaret Dougherty. Married 1907, City of Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
May have been sent to live with relatives in Kells / Connor area, Campbells or Carsons, when her father remarried in Belfast.

Regards,
Dixie

This is probably going to be difficult- 1911 is last available census, online civil registration for Northern Ireland only go up to 1921, recent church records and other information will not be online due to privacy issues.

Hi Dixie and aghadowey

From her birth cert it states that she is born in 1908 (April 30th) , York, Ontario

Do you have her in 1911?

There's no trace of a Margaret Campbell b Canada, aged 3, in the 1911 Irish census.

Only Campbell born in Canada I could find was a little girl the right age (3 years) but her name is Catherine Annie-

I'm, wondeing if they didn't leave Canada prior to the 1911 census ...I can't see her anywhere....neither Robert and Margaret the parents.

Robert is bc 1885 Ireland ..I think Margaret Dougherty was bc 1884 ...need to find the marriage again.

Canadian Marriage certs are fab ... both mother and father's name are given ...wish we had that for the UK!!!

I saw a border crossing for a Robert (3) and Margaret (1) ...no parents with them though.

I also searched for other children born to this couple Campbell/Dougherty ...nothing forthcoming.

There are so many Margaret Campbells on passenger lists ....there is no way to know if we have to correct one.
