the Campbell family

[sancti]

With the children being born in England could that be where the marriage took place?

I am not seeing any Scottish marriage like you (except for the Carmichael entry in 1869).

Many thanks for all the replies I received regarding the Campbell family. Some of the information I already had but have taken note of the others. I shall continue my search................

The IGI has a baptism of Archibald Angus Campbell, father Neil, mother Annie, in Whitewell, Derbyshire on 30 December 1873. This matches a birth in Runcorn in the September quarter of 1873, reference Runcorn 1873/Sep Qr/8a/221.

You need to get that birth certificate to get Annie's maiden surname. Then you will be in a better position to look for the marriage of Annie and Neil, which will confirm at least the name of Neil's father.

In 1881 they are in Derby, Neil and Annie both aged 33 and born in Scotland, and eldest child Neil aged 9, born in Chester. This matches a birth in Chester 1871/Dec Qr/8a/350.

There is no marriage of a N*l Campbell to an Ann* in FreeBMD before 1871.

"I am not seeing any Scottish marriage like you (except for the Carmichael entry in 1869)."

Interestingly enough, there are two entries, with Annie's surname as "Carmichael" and/or "Carmicheal" on "exact surname spelling."

Hi Malky 

The 1869 Tradeston marriage mentioned does have bride's surname indexed as Carmicheal. Have you found another marriage, not this one?

Where are you finding these two entries?

Scotland's People is giving me 2 entries for the 1869 Tradeston entry. Each with different spellings.
Both individually under "Surnames that begin with" and checked against "Exact surname".

Interesting. Do they both have the same reference number? If so, my guess is that someone at SP has spotted the unusual spelling in the original, and has added an extra listing with the more conventional spelling.

If they have different reference numbers, then there must have been two couples, one with a relatively uncommon given name and a common surname and one with a relatively uncommon surname and a common given name, marrying in the same district in the same year.
