Latest portrait: Who is the sitter?
« on: Thursday 18 February 21 14:51 GMT (UK) »
Dear Friends,

Please find photographs below of the front and back of a portrait I have recently acquired. I am at a loss regarding the sitter despite the information provided on the back of the painting. It was catalogued as Colin Campbell (British Army officer, born 1776), however, I don't believe this to be correct given the names of the sitter's relations present, also his being Royal Navy. There are some interesting leads on first searches and any help would be most appreciated!

Best wishes,

Joshua

I think this may be his son's marriage  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLS4-MV12

The press notice states that his father Captain Colin Campbell was from Spa, Gloucester and in 1841 Colin Campbell Capt RN age 60 born Scotland was living in Littleworth Gloucester  with wife Elmira

Kay

Added - Looks like he died in 1842 and his will is on Anc and his wife's will  1843 which is much more detailed is also on Anc
Name:    Colin Campbell Esq
Residence:    Littleworth, Gloucestershire, England
Probate Date:    5 Dec 1842

Wonder if this is them.

11 September 1828 - Sun (London)

Or is it the younger Capt Colin Campbell RN who appears a lot? (Not related as far as I can see) and I think married 1847.
