Hello I'm trying to find out anything about my mother's side of the family. My mother's mum was called matilda campbell, her birth certificate says she was born 1913 to james and Annie campbell 9 howe street belfast. She married in 1942 to John mcintosh and lived in 17 malcolmson street along with I'm sure her brother John campbell. On matildas marriage certificate it states a thomas campbell as her father and the addresse of malcolmson street. The name thomas campbell is on the house fron 1918-1960s I think then it is taken over by John mcintosh. My mother was an only child and I can't seem to locate a birth record for her. Her name (maiden) would be Patricia mcintosh. I cannot find a mother's name living in malcolmson street with John and matilda and I'm confused about the name thomas campbell and not John. I'm wondering could matilda possibly be young Annie's daughter in some way? |

Sorry its my first time doing this ?? from a previous post on here I have established that matilda campbell (my grandmother) was born in 9 howe street to James and Annie campbell, although on some records matilda dosnt seem to appear at all. James and Annie also had a daughter named Annie who would have been a young teenager 15/16 when matilda was born. I'm wanting to find out why matilda was living in malcolmson street which would be the falls road with her older "brother" John and naming a Thomas campbell as her father on her marriage certificate. I'm maybe way off but I was wondering if maybe the young Annie is matildas mother and there has been some secrecy around it as she was a teenager. Matilda seems to be a mystery to all I speak to. |

You refer to confusions over the name Thomas, not John. |

I'm pretty sure it was thomas as I remember my mother joking that her grandad was thomas and she married a thomas (my father)the only thing I can find on matilda campbell is her marriage certificate. |

Yes thats the problem there is record of a thomas but no mother. What I have is a bit of information from someone from.john mcintosh side. She confirmed that John moved to malcolmson street after the marriage. Also my mother grew up in malcolmson street and lived there right up untill she was married in the 1970s. I know John lived there also as there is a newspaper article referring to him John campbell 17 malcolmson street 1938 when he was 38, he was shot and had to have his leg amputated. My mother talked about her uncle and his disability. I will attach what I have so far. |

Yes the same mother and father, and their ages match, that is why I assumed they are from this family with annie and James as their parents. It the matilda naming Thomas campbell a Labourer of malcolmson street as her father that's confusing me. John is also named as married roman Catholic man in the article. I just dont know if they are the same family like I said matilda campbell born 1913 only returned results as James as her father which is why I assumed could she be the daughter of one of the teenage siblings and Annie and James named themselves as her parent. It's so frustrating. They seem to have appeared then disappeared |
