    1. George William CAMPBELL - clerk of courts
    2. Anne Napier
    3. Hello I am researching the family of George William CAMPBELL (b abt 1827 Glasgow SCT) and his wife Mary (nee WEIR, b abt 1831 Haslar, Hampshire, ENG). They were living at Barkers Creek in 1871 when their 8th (and probably last) child was born in August of that year. George was Clerk of Courts at the time and he later became a Police Magistrate. Is anyone else on the list researching the same family? Are there any records of this man or of any of his family members in the Barkers Creek area? Children in the family were Edith Mary (b 1855), Emilia Margaret Katherine (b 1858), Maude (b 1861), George William Weir (b 1864), Evelyn Sturt (b 1866), unnamed male (b & d 1868), Cecil Wynn Williams (b 1870) and Herbert Crawford (b 1871). Was there a separate Courthouse at Barkers Creek or would he have been employed at the Castlemaine Courthouse? I do not know ho long they stayed in the goldfields area. The older children in the family were mostly born whilst the family was living in the Prahran and Windsor area. However, I have a feeling that they may have ended up in the Mildura region but I am not certain of this. Any information much appreciated. Anne (in Eastern Victoria)
