Hello,
I have come up to a complete wall in my research and welcome any help anyone can give.
My problem is that I cannot find a birth for my 2x Great Grandfather John Campbell, nor came I find him in the Census's before he was married.
From his Marriage and Death certificate I know that his parents names where Helen Henry and John Campbell (Occupation Farmer), who is the reputed father as John was illegitimate. John's mother Helen went on to marry David Bremner and not John's father.
From the information I have gathered from the 1891 Census, 1901 Census, Marriage and Death certificates John should have been born around 1868 in Bower. I have tried search and both Scotlands People and Scot's Origins under John Henry, Hendry and Campbell and have come up empty handed. I have found John's mother in the 1871 and 1881 Census but John does not make an appearance but her other illegitimate children do.
I am at a loss of what else to try and would be grateful for any suggestions anyone is able to give.
