the Campbell family

[nettiec]

I am trying to trace my husbands family.  His mother was a Campbell before marriage. Her father was an ordnance surveyor. Archibald Angus, born 1874. His father was Neil Campbell, born in Ardrishaig, Argyllshire in 1848. (married to Annie Carmichael, I think) also in ordnance surveying. They had eight children, born in various places in England and eventually living in Derby. It's Neil's parents and siblings that I am trying to prove. His father could be Angus Campbell, born 1807, a tailor by trade, married to Isabella Buchanan. I hope this information will help to confirm my findings. Many thanks. Nettiec.

Hi Nettiec.

This looks to be the marriage I think, from IGI:

Neil CAMPBELL and Annie CARMICHEAL married on 31 March 1869 in Tradeston, Glasgow

The original image for the marriage certificate will be available to view on the pay to view site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (costs are reasonable). Scottish marriage certs include full details on parents' names for bride and groom, including mothers' full names.

I have edited this post as there looks to be two couples with the same name having children at a similar time, which never helps!

Have you found a marriage cert for the Neil and Ann you are looking for? The couple who I mentioned in the the first post with a marriage in Tradeston in 1869 are I think in Glasgow for 1881 whilst the couple you are looking at are by now in Derby.

Nettiec, it would be good to confirm Annie, Neil's wife's. maiden name through one of their children's birth certs. I do not think her maiden name was Carmichael as this is the marriage I posted in Tradeston in 1869 for the couple who remain in Glasgow and went on to have their children there.
