    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

    I have recently started researching my CAMPBELL ancestry. My ggrandmother was CATHERINE CAMPBELL b.1818 THURSO D.1906 EDINBURGH her parents were WILLIAM CAMPBELL & CATHERINE SMITH, they had seven more children-

    ALEXANDER b 1812 THURSO

    DAVID b 1814 "

    FANNY b 1816 "

    WILLIAM b 1820 "

    GEORGE b 1822 WATTEN

    ISOBEL b 1824 WICK

    BETTY b 1827 HARLAND, WICK.

    From IGI I found a possible birth record for CATHERINE SMITH- Parents - ? SMITH & FRANCIS CALDER from DUNNET

    My ggrandmother CATHERINE CAMPBELL was married to DONALD GRAY from HALKIRK.

    Any connections here?

    Regards,

    Mary

    Thanks
    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.
