Hello all
I am researching the following family and would like to hear from any fellow
researchers, or anyone who can add to my information:
George William CAMPBELL b abt 1827 Glasgow SCT
(his parents were probably George CAMPBELL and Margaret Crawford McCLYRMONT
or McLYRMONT or McCLERMONT)
He had a brother Crawford James CAMPBELL b 1832 Liverpool Lancashire ENG.
In the 1851 Census, George William CAMPBELL is a General Merchant, lodging
at Woolton Lancashire.
He marries on 04 Nov 1851 at Leamington Warwickshire ENG to Mary WEIR (b abt
1831 Haslar Hampshire, dau of John Charles WEIR and Emilia Henrietta nee
CLARK) and his brother Crawford James CAMPBELL is a witness.
They emigrate to Australia soon after where 8 children are born:
Edith Mary CAMPBELL b 1855 Essendon VIC
Emilia Margaret Katherine b 1858 South Yarra VIC
Maud CAMPBELL b 1861 South Yarra VIC
George William Weir CAMPBELL b 1864 Prahran VIC
Evelyn Sturt CAMPBELL b 08 Oct 1866 Punt Road, Windsor VIC, d 07 Jun 1916
Freeburgh VIC, m Lilian Matilda TANKARD 24 Jun 1899 Mildura VIC
Unnamed male b & d 1868
Cecil Wynn Williams CAMPBELL b 1870 Prahran VIC
Herbert Crawford CAMPBELL b 19 Aug 1871 Barker's Creek, Castlemaine, VIC
Once in Australia, George William CAMPBELL became a Clerk of Courts and
later a Police Magistrate. It appears that he lived/worked in the South
Yarra, Melbourne, and Castlemaine areas of Victoria. He died in 1890 in St.
Kilda as did his wife Mary.
In particular, I am trying to establish how this family are related to an
ANDERSON family, as I believe that they are cousins.
Any help very much appreciated.
Anne (in Australia)
