Hi Listers,
I'm looking for a Biddy CAMPBELL whose wife and children were born in
IRELAND (he was born in Scotland ca. 1820). Biddy and members of his family
left Glascow on the Lydia and arrived in New York on 2 October 1850. On the
same passage was a 9-month old boy also named Biddy (born in Ireland) who
was probably the older Biddy's son. It is possible that Mary-Ann CAMPBELL
(from Ireland) traveling on the same boat was Biddy's wife. She was born
ca. 1826. There was a girl also named Mary-Ann CAMPBELL (born in Ireland)
on the same boat. They may have also had a daughter named Rosa (born ca.
1846 in Ireland) on the same passage. I would like to find out where they
settled in the States and if they were members of the same family. I have
no idea what part of Ireland they came from. If the above names look
familiar to anyone, I would love to hear from you.
