Suzanne - Welcome!
I have some Campbells from Creich, but if they are related to yours I cannot figure out
how. My Campbells moved there around 1860, so if there is a relation it is likely as
"cousins" of some sort.
My great-grandfather Donald Campbell was born in Pulrossie, Bonar, Creich in 1860. His
father Hugh Campbell, Jr. was born in Durness, Sutherland, in 1821. HIS father, Hugh
Campbell, Sr., married in the Durness area, but was originally from somewhere in the shire
of Ayr. I have not been able to make a connection as to where.
The names Robert, John, and William do occur in my Campbell line, but that is hardly
surprising, as they are so common.
Sorry there is no immediate connection. But if you find a connection of your people to
Ayrshire, please let me know!

Subject: [Campbell] Campbell in Bonar/Creich
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this group. Glad to have found it!
I'm researching my maternal grandfather's family. His name was George
Campbell, born 1889 in England. His father, Robert Campbell (b. 1853) was
born in Bonar Village and it would seem that the family originated from
there.
I also have Robert's father: George Campbell (b. 1823), grandfather: John
Campbell (b. 1773) and great-grandfather: William Campbell (b. ?).
I would like to know if anyone else is researching the Campbells from Bonar
and/or Creich?
Regards,
Suzanne Desormeaux
