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
