Hi there,
I have only recently started doing my family tree.
My grandmother was Isabella(Bella) Campbell ,born 1878 on Islay, I think
Kidalton .
She married Phillip King ,from Co. Cavan, Ireland,in Renfrew on
22 May 1908.
Her father was Malcolm Campbell,1814-1894, who was a widower when he married
my great grandmother, Mary Anne Sinclair,in Port Ellen on 4 October 1877.
His first wife's name was Mary McKerroll, married 1842.
I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any information on the
family.
Many thanks ,John Donnelly
