Elizabeth Campbell

Her father may be James Campbell, married to Charlotte Logan.  Siblings James/born 1867, Robert/born 1870 and Sarah/born 1872.  Thanks.  Kerry.

Elizabeth Campbell is a very common name in Ireland. There are 468 in the 1901 Irish census. So without some clues as to parents names from New Zealand sources it would be very easy to choose the wrong family.

There were 13 people of that name born, in what is now Northern Ireland, in 1876. There was  one born in Belfast on 26.4.1876, mother?s maiden name Skeffington; another 27.11.1876 mothers mn Sailes, another on 21^st Dec 1876 mothers mn Miller. None in 1876 with mothers mn Logan.

There was an Elizabeth Campbell with mother?s mn Logan born 17.9.1875, in Belfast. That seems the most probable match to the family you have suggested. The parents married in Belfast on 27.7.1858. You can view the birth & marriage cert on-line on the GRONI site for ?2 each. Use the search registrations option.

Thank you SO much for this new information - it all seems to fit.

Is there any record of the family coming to New Zealand, via England, on the ship Awara, arriving in New Zealand June 1888?

I await your repy with appreciation.

Kind regards,

Kerry.

Couldn't find it on ancestry so you might have to play around on google for it.
