Hi Digger, Certainly i have no problems sending you the MC for your records.
I certainly would not dismiss the Henry James record, as i think it has a good chance of being the son of HC/MC, and is one of the possibilities i was referring to in the last post.
The birth details are good etc, and i have found the name succession in families to be a reliable 'clue' to connections, and we have his daughter as a Mary Ann, with also Henry James being the christian names of Mary Ann and James Hickson's son b 1871.
Unfortunately my Ancestry membership finished before i linked this into my searches, and i am no longer able to look up the census records.
Personally i think Mary Canvan and Henry split after the children,either through Death or just Separation, possibly back to Ireland, as there is a very high possibility he was Irish born.
The Campbell connection at her Marriage is still one of the unknowns !
Cheers. Curley
