My daughter is researching the family history (Campbell) and has made progress with leads at Weydale, Dunnet, Wick and Thurso. Any from the above list still in these areas? My grandfather, James Campbell lived in Smith Terrace, Thurso and drove a mail van to Tongue for many years. Anyone can contact me by e-mail

James Campbell (b.22.02.1889 Thurso-d.1977 Thurso) married Jessie Bain Munro (b.1891 Thurso -d.1932 Thurso) in 1912 Thurso. James's parents are John Campbell (b.1868 Bower-d.25.10.1923 Orlig) and Janet Bremner (b.01.05.1865 Bower-d.12.12.1936 Thurso). Jessie's parents are James Munro (b.1867 Thurso) and Barbara Steven (b.1866 Wick). Also Janet Bremner's parents are James Bremner (b.1828 Wick) and Helen Steven (b.1823 Bower-d.1897 Bower).

On Janet Campbell nee Bremner's death certificate it is signed by James Campbell at it states his address as being 1 Smith Terrance, Thurso - So they are definitely the same person.
