I'm just re-posting my interest regarding James BELL and Marion CAMPBELL. This is some of what I know: According to census information, James BELL was born about 1789 in Fife (one census says Cupar, another says Leslie). He died 13 Jul 1870 in St. George, Edinburgh. His death was registered by his son, Andrew, however the names of James' parents were not included in the registration. According to the 1841 census, Marion CAMPBELL was born about 1791 (not in county) and she died 2 Jul 1847 in St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh. I have found the following offspring for James BELL and Marion CAMPBELL: 1) Mary, born abt 1819 in Dunbar, East Lothian and died 6 May 1887 in St. Cuthbert's Poorhouse. I can't find a marriage for her but on her death registration it indicated she was married to George McLATCHIE. I know of one daughter, Marion (born abt 1848-died 1915, married George Wood); 2) William, born abt 1823 in West Barns, East or Midlothian and died 14 Jan 1890 in Blythswood, Glasgow. He married Catherine DONALDSON on 18 Nov 1844 in Glasgow. They had one daughter named Isabella (born abt 1842-died ?); 3) James, born 19 Oct 1824 in St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh. I don't have any additional information regarding James; 4) Thomas, born abt 1826 in Midlothian. I have him living with James and Marion on the 1841 census and nothing after that; 5) Elizabeth, born 29 Oct 1827 in St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh and died 22 Feb 1881 in Partick, Glasgow. She married James JOHNSTON on 2 Jun 1854 in Leith. They had five children, William (born 1555-died 1856), Marion (born 1856-died 1864), Euphemia (born 1858-died 1909, unmarried), Jemima (born 1860-died 1916, married Samuel Mulholland) and Elizabeth (born 1862-died 1874). Euphemia Galloway JOHNSTON was my g-grandmother. I have quite a bit of information regarding James, Elizabeth and their children; 6) Andrew, born 4 Dec 1831 in St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh and died 30 May 1875 in Cannongate, Edinburgh. He married Joan LOWRIE/LAURIE on 16 Feb 1855. They had six children, James (born 1855-died 1855), Andrew (1857-died 1914, married Helen Proud), Robert (born 1859-died ?), James (born 1861-died 1924, married Agnes Snape), Joan (born 1864-died 1890, married William Kirkwood) and Marion (born 1866-died 1945, married Hugh Nelson). I haven't found a marriage entry for James BELL and Marion CAMPBELL. I have seen the marriage listed in the OPR for James BELL and Minny CAMPBELL in 1812. While it seems unlikely to be them, the fact that it indicates that Minny Campbell's father, James, was a labourer in Dunbar and James and Marion's daughter, Mary, was born in Dunbar is just a little too coincidental for me to rule it out completely. It should be noted though that every conclusive document that I have, Marion is never referred to by any other name than Marion. If anyone has a connection or information on this BELL/CAMPBELL line, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks. Jacquie Winnipeg, MB Canada
