Bella Campbell b 1876
« on: Tuesday 09 August 16 17:43 BST (UK) »
I found the following family living at 114 Wood Street, Grimsby in the 1901 Census that interests me very much.
Name                    Relation   Age     Occupation    Where born     
Bella Campbell       Boarder   24       Housekeeper  Scotland
William F Campbell Son          4                            Scotland
Harry F Campbell   Son           3                            Lincs, Grimsby
The family bears a striking resemblance to that of a Bella Ann Eliza Campbell b 1876 Durris, Kincardineshire who gave birth to an illegitimate child named William Campbell in 1896 also in Durris, Kincardineshire. Geographically, Durris is located on the outskirts of Aberdeen which used to have strong links with Grimsby through fishing. Sadly I believe Bella may have died in 1907 but not in Scotland. Can anyone help me find out what happened to this family?

Did see these baptisms for 3 children that could possibly be the the ones in the 1901 census apart from the daughter
William Fyfe Campbell , Harry Fyfe Campbell ,Mary Isabel Fyfe Campbell all baptized 30 June 1905 at St John the Evangelist Clee Lincoln mother Bella Campbell no mention of a father ...I would have a guess and say maybe Fyfe as all children have that as a middle name

I can't see any deaths of Bella Campbell around that time on Freebmd, what makes you think that she died?

I was just typing the same question as Groom -- she is not on the England and Wales Death Index around the time you think she died.

Do you have the birth certificate for William in Duris  as there is a death for  a William Campbell Fyfe gives a birth date of 22/12/1896 died March 1980 age 83 Camberwell London .Can't post details of 1911 Census but birth place is Durris
Possible for Harry Campbell Fyfe June 1970 Grimsby

In that case it would also be worth checking the 1939 register and WW1 Army records (if the latter exist they will show next of kin and whether they are married).
