Also, from what your wrote, he wasn't born a Campbell.

So we need to look for a Sophia who married a James/Jesse Campbell?

We can't help you if you don't answer the questions we ask.

sorry ,his date of birth was worked out from his date and age of death ,he may have taken his mothers name ,he ran away from home at 12 ,his father jessie was on his marriage cert and his father james was on his army papers .
as i said we have no trace of him from 0 to 12
from 12 he was a drummer boy in the boer war 1901-02 he travelled with the irish navvies and he was a bareknukle fighter and thats how he met dorothy they had their children in doncaster and then they moved south london i think then walton on the naze ,he was in the first world war and then he retired theres no more i can tell you it is just the first 12 years we cant find.
he said he was related to robert the bruce s sister and to colin campbell of the thin red line ive checked this out and bruces sister married a campbell and colin didnt have children,but probably had brothers,he also said his aunt isabell tried to buy his first son for 10 guines but he told her to get her own kids and that the news of the world would be looking for him xx

he also went to canada and stayed with family when he was younger i guess after the boer war and before he was married .

Any idea of where in Canada, and who the family were?
I cannot see him on ancestry travel information, as yet.

we assumed it was campbells apparently he was a lumberjack , i dont even know how old he was ,it seems he was a very busy chap just a shame he couldnt tell someone his real name before he died :-(

The James Campbell born 1859, living in Middlesbrough in 1911, has been married to Mary for 27 years, and was born 'County Durham Mankwearmouth'

If you want children for Isabella Campbell, who do you think she married?

thankyou im trying to check the james and sophia line theres only two i can find the other one is the bottom of the country, so i dont think they fit
that just leaves scotland ,which is harder as there are loads of james and sophia campbell x :-S

theres a isabella campbell 1857 married to william burnlees in berwick they married
1881 10b 577

there is a red herring
alexander and isabella campbell of coldingham had and lost a harry campbell he was a day old ,my family have for many years thought there harry had taken his name but i dont think he or his family have anything to do with our family
