Hello Ivan Ken Campbell worked in De Beers as an electrician. On retirement he and his wife moved to FishHoek in the Cape where they stayed with or near to their daughter-in-law. His wife was a Miss Jean or June Crook. Ken was an excellent swimmer and as a small boy I remember going to Swimming Galas at the Kenilworth Swimming bath and seeing him take part. There was great competition between him and another chap Bruce Gates. The galas held on a Friday or Saturday evening were very popular and over and above the swimming they offered the citizens of Kimberley a cool spot to escape the heat. If you would like his work records e-mail the De Beers Archivist at charmaine.mcclean@debeersgroup.com Basil Brown -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Johan Dorey-Venter Sent: 23 November 2011 01:59 PM To: Irfaan Harris; south-africa@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Campbells originally from Kimberley RSA / Salen Islay Scotland Ivan, Have you contacted the Africana Library in Kimberley? africana[at]solplaatje.org.za Campbell is a well-known name in Kimberley, they should have quite a bit of information for you.
