Hi all
Many thanks for your interest in my query
I think you are definitely on the right lines. To answer your queries,
1. Yes William's birth date is 22 Dec 1896. His name on the birth record is William Campbell
2. Bella's death is recorded on the family gravestone in Durris Cemetery as occuring when she was aged 31 so she could also have died in 1908.
Several questions now arise
If the above is correct, who was looking after the children in the 1911 Census when they would only have been aged 14 and 13?
Where did Bella die?
Presumably William Fyfe b 1870 Aberdeen is the children's father? I should be able to find him in ScotlandsPeople
Regards

Looks good - that's why we couldn't find the death under Bella Campbell.  ;D

In 1911, in Cleethorpes, there are:
William M Fyfe, 41, b Aberdeen
William C Fyfe, 14  b Durris
Harry C Fyfe, 13, b Grimsby


All found on familysearch.
They look like a family, but I can't tell, not having a sub to paid sites! ;D

Hi all
I am overwhelmed by your response to my query. Thank you very much.
Do you know who William A Fyfe marries in Grimsby in 1912?
I also can't find a marriage for my Bella AE Campbell & William Alexander M Fyfe. Of course there might not be one
I have found marriages for their two sons William and Harry viz Lilian Death & Violet Sartori but haven't looked for one for their daughter Mary Isabel yet.
In fact, are William, Harry and Mary Isabel their only children? There are a total of 3 other Fyfes born in Grimsby between 1901 and 1905
Cheers
