This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Campbell, Roper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/667.3 Message Board Post: I located a death record for a Hugh CAMPBELL (d 21 Jan 1891 - New Orleans, LA), at age 61 years. The death record appears at Volume 98, Page 946. This appears likely to be the death record of the husband of Winifred ROPER. I would encourage you to try to obtain the ORIGINAL death records for both Hugh CAMPBELL and Winifred Roper CAMPBELL. One or both of these MIGHT give a date of birth as well as a date of death. (Bear in mind that the entry above is from the Index.) A date of birth for Winifred ROPER would be very helpful when you begin looking at Irish records to find candidates. Also, I would encourage you to check with the public library in New Orleans to see whether there are any extant newspapers from the period when Hugh CAMPBELL (d 21 Jan 1891 - New Orleans, LA) and Winifred Roper CAMPBELL (d 26 Dec 1890 - New Orlenas, LA) died. An obituary MIGHT reveal the identities of the parents or the COUNTY of origin, which could prove to be helpful in your further investigation.
