Pamela Report 9 Mar 2008 00:45

My name is Pamela and I am trying to find out what happened to William Campbell son of Alexander Campbell and Agnes Kelly.

William and his Twin brother Gilbert Campbell were born in Stewarton, Kirkcolm, Wigtown, Scotland
on the 1 March 1839 and baptised on 3 March 1839.
I know that William was alive still in the 1851 Census at London Road, McCulloch Place (within Stranraer, Wigtownshire, Scotland.
But do not know what happened to him after that.

I do know that Gilbert Campbell Twin brother of William Died on 30 July 1856 at College Street, Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

But have no idea what happened to William.

Has someone seen him in their Tree Please?
Or has someone seen a Marriage or Death for William Campbell.

Did William Die in Wigtownshire?
or did he die in Dunbartonshire?
Or did he move abroad?

My 2X Great Grandfather Andrew Campbell born Wigtownshire on 1 March 1837 was William and Gilbert's Brother.
They also had lots of Sisters and some more Brothers.

Thank you in advance for any Information I might receive.

Kind Regards
Pamela J Groves
