Hi Listers
Can anyone tell me if there is a list of people receiving help on the poor
lists in Scotland. I have no idea where my descendant Peter Campbellwas at
the time of his death or where he had been during his life. I have a letter
from his brother John Campbell, date 1859, saying that he had received a
letter notifying him of the death of his brother Petro Campbell. All I know
of him is that he was born about 1801 his parents being Robert Campbell and
Jean Campbell/Cameron. It said in the letter that he had died without a
friend or relative near him.
This is why I wonder if he was perhaps on one of the poor lists. I have
been unable to find his death doing a search over a 5-year period.
Have checked immigration records to see if he may have immigrated but have
so far found nothing.
Peter was the brother of my gr gr grandfather James Campbell who migrated to
Tasmania in 1835.
Any help on my brick wall would be appreciated.
