Dougald & Ann Campbell emigrated to Canada from Islay between the birth of their first known child, Flora Campbell, on Sept 18 1831 and the birth of their second known child, Charles Campbell, in February 1834 in Ontario, Canada. I have not identified when, or how, they left Scotland. Oral family history indicates most of the passengers on the ship were from Islay including many Currie family members/relatives. The crossing took 90 days and a number of passengers, including 3 cousins, died en route.
Marriage Registration: Dougald Campbell & Anne Keith Nov 21 1829 @ Kilarow, Islay, Scotland
Dougald/Dugald Campbell was born in Scotland in 1805 and died in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada on Jan 11 1889. The death certificate indicates he was 83 years old. He was a tailor.
Oral family history indicate Dougald Campbell's mother was a Currie from the island of Islay. She met and married a Campbell from the mainland whose family owned the Campbell Paisley works from Paisley Scotland. "My" Dougald was a younger son in the family. He and a sister, Annie, came to Canada and settled in Duntroon, Ontario. Dougald's older brother(s) took over the family shawl making business. Two of Ann (Keith) Campbell's sisters also came to Canada. One settled in Angus. Ontario and the other, Catherine, married a widower farmer from near King, Ontario and raised his son and the son's son. Ann (Keith/McKeith) Campbell was reportedly a very beautiful woman and again, oral family history, reports she was the most beautiful young woman to go into Glasgow Kirk with beautiful skin and deep red hair.
Ann Keith/McKeith was born in Scotland between 1801 and 1813, depending on which Canadian Census record you believe. Canada Census reports 1851 age 30 (1821) name shown as Annette; 1861 age 60 (1801) name Mrs Campbell; 1871 age 58 (1813) name Ann; 1881 age 68 (1813) name Ann. Various Canadian legal documents indicate her name was Ann Keith including some of their children's marriage and death registrations. Court documents at Canada Land Titles indicate her name was Ann Campbell. I have been unable to find her death registration and the 1851 Census was obviously wrong about her age. She reportedly lived to be 99 years and 9 months old.
Both Ann & Dougald Campbell were illiterate and signed their names with an "X"
Ann's maiden name was "Keith" on the Nov 21 1829 marriage registry from Kildalton, Argyll, Scotland. Her maiden name is listed as "Mackeith" on the birth registry of their first child, Flora Campbell, in Octovullin, Bowmore or Kilarrow, Scotland on Sep 18 1831.
A Genealogist from the Isle of Islay was not able to add to the aforementioned info and indicated she has had no success at all in locating very early passenger lists - only the Ellis Island details from 1890's onwards. There is a web-site - The Ships List - which has some Canadian ship entries but it is just from the 1860's onwards.
