I just wonder how distant this distant grandmother is (a grandmother or possibly a great or 2xgreat grandmother for instance). |

Between 1850 and 1854 there are 145 matches for a Jane Campbell birth on Scotlands People these are displayed over 6 pages. So if you don't know the area where she was born there isn't much chance of you finding her. |

Scottish registration started in 1855, the online bmd is at Scotlandspeople, for pre 1907 births you can download the extract of the register (basically a certificate) from the site. |

Hi - Yes born in Scotland drives me crazy. It's a big place. Added to that I am trying to find (for years) a distant grandmother with the name of Jane Campbell (never married) but my Great Grandfather was born in Jarrow. I have his date of death but I can't find Jane. I know he was born in 1853 (along with other James Campbells) but I'm lost. Is there a Scotland Civil Register or something. James is a Glass (guess that's Glassary) Campbell but I don't know where to look next. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. |
