Hi all,
I've posted my Campbells here a long while back (and had great help, thanks)
but I've got a bit of new info to share.
My Campbell is Margaret Campbell, b. abt 1800 in the Argyll parish of
Kilcalmonell/Kilberry. She married John Graham in 1824 and they had several
kids and moved to Perth County, Ontario, Canada in late 1840's.
SO, I found this family in the 1840 Scottish census in the first district of
Kilberry (516) at a farm called Balmar or Balnar. In this record Margaret
is listed under her maiden name and not as a Graham! I was wondering why
this would be? The two of them WERE married and the '41 census is usually
pretty skimpy on details, so why list Margaret as a Campbell? Could she
have been from a prominent Campbell family and was flaunting it or is there
there a less exciting reason?
Not much to go on, but are there any ideas about this, or folks who
recognize their farm?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Yrs,
John Gerrath
