    1. Descendants of James Campbell
    2. Jane Gow
    3. I am looking for Descendants of James Campbell who migrated to Tasmania, Australia in 1835. According to IGI records he was born 8th May 1804 Fortingall Perth Scotland, his sister was born 16th July 1806 in Fortingall whose name was Anne. Fathers name was Robert and mothers name was Jean/Jane Cameron I have copies of letters from a brother John and I think is Robert but signature is very hard to read. Robert is mentioned in Johns letters. The letters were addressed from Dundee although one of them was address Dundee (I think) Hithingale. The letters were spread out between 1839-1867. In the letters it is mentioned that Anne (sister) married Donald Stewart from Dinglevale. I think Robert married jean and John married Maria. There is mention that Aunt Cameron died in June 1857 and was buried in Dinglevale. There was also a mention of an Aunt Rankin who was not well. I believe that either John and Robert or both were involved in the Saddlery business as was their father. James was also in the Saddlery trade in Tasmania. My apologies if the spelling of the towns or counties are wrong, but the letters are copies and are very hard to read. If anyone is a relative of these people, and would like information on James, I have researched James extensively. He was my gr gr grandfather. Any help on these people would be appreciated.
