Hello Steve By luck I was in the area of the library today and had a peek in the 1851 census index. Daniel seems to be a fairly common name for CAMPBELLs, but I couldnt find a match for the family. I found a - Daniel and Helen aged 26 and 31 (too young) And I found a - Helen, a widow (laundress) aged 50 with children Ann, John, Edward and James - no William and a Daniel 36 with a wife called Elizabeth. - still too young I think But what I did find in the Canongate Volume was a nailer called William Campbell 27 with wife Rachael 25, son John, plus the inlaws, mother Helen Lunn and her daughter Euphemia. I didnt have the earlier email with Williams age, which should be only 20. So a) did William have a son called John b) how did you identify William's birth in Cramond? I am not at all sure that the one in Cramond and the one christened at the Tolbooth Church are the same little guy. Cheers Judy BTW I think the Highland Tolbooth is at the top of the Lawnmarket and a different building to the other Tolbooth Church ---------- >From: "stephenmorrison" <stephenmorrison@beeb.net> >To: SCT-EDINBURGH-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [EDB] Help >Date: Thu, Jul 12, 2001, 8:25 am > > I wonder if SKS with access to the index of the1851 census, Old Town volume > Edinburgh, would look up Daniel and Helen Campbell, whom I believe were > residing in the area in 1836.
