Hi Duncan,
I think I have found some on your family. It really helps if you can give some dates and places though.
I started by looking in Ontario for a marriage of Isaac and Rachel.
I found:
Isaac J. Campbell , age 24, and Rachel Emaline Wright age 21, married
March 22, 1876, Kent Co.
Grooms parents: Robert and Elizabeth Campbell
Brides parents: thomas and Sarah Wright
Married at - looks like Dresdin
Both are shown as residing Chatham
I know you have Isaac's mother as Rebecca but Elizabeth may be a first name.
1861 KENT, ON
CAMPBELL
Robert, farmer, age 43, born Scotland
Elizabeth, age 45, born Ireland
Samuel, age 19, born Upper Canada
Issabella, age 17 born Upper Canada
Arthur, age 15 born Upper Canada
Robert, age 13 born Upper Canada
Elizabeth, age 11 born Upper Canada
Isaac, age 9born Upper Canada
Joseph, age 7 born Upper Canada
William, age 5 born Upper Canada
John A., age 3 born Upper Canada
** all are shown religion: W. Methodist
CAMPBELL
Robert, farmer, age 66, born Ireland, Baptist
** there is nothing to show relationships so I don't know if Robert, age 66 is part of the family or not. He is listed right below the Campbell family
1871 CHATHAM, KENT, ON
CAMPBELL
Robert, farmer, age 51, born Scotland, Irish, W. Meth
Elizabeth, age 56, born Ireland, Irish, W. Meth
Samuel, farmer,age 28, born ON, W.Meth. Irish
Robert, farmer, age 24, born ON W. Meth., Irish
Isaac, farmer, age 19, born ON, W. Meth., Irish
Joseph, farmer, age 17, born ON W. Meth., Irish
William, age 15, born ON W.Meth., Irish
Albert, age 13, born ON, W. Meth., Irish
in same house
SHAW, Hanah, age 4, born ON,W. Meth. Irish
1851 CHATHAM, KENT, CANADA WEST (ONTARIO)
CAMPBELL
Robert, farmer, age 33, born Scotland, baptist
Elizabeth, age 35, born Ireland, baptist
Isabella, age 11, born Canada, Baptist
Arthur, age 9, born Canada, Baptist
Robert, age 7, born Canada, Baptist
Elizabeth, age 5 (may be a 3), born Canada, Baptist
Isaac, age 1, born Canada, Baptist
There are a lot of Shaws on the same page so perhaps Elizabeth's family?
Also there are several Campbells on same page. There is one named
Stephen born Scotland - age 36 and
William, born Sotland - age 40
so I wondered if they could be brothers of Robert
1881 census is very unclear in the image so this is from the index
1881 CHATHAM, KENT, ON
CAMBPBELL
Robert, age 62, farmer, born Scotland, Methodist, Scotch
Elizabeth, age 66, born Ireland, Methodist, Irish
Samuel, farmer, age 40, born Ontario
Albert, farmer, age 24, born Ontario
Hannah, age 14, born Ontario
Manly, age 4, born Ontario
Robert, age 87, widowed, born Ireland
*8 they show no religion given for all except Robert and Elizabeth
* this looks like Robert, age 87, is likely father of Robert age 66 - at least hat is my guess and he is likely the Robert from 1861 census. I am going to try and find him in 1851, and 1871
1819
So you have the later census 1891, 1901? If not I can copy them for you also. Also do you have deaths for these people? I could look in Ontario death records for you.
I may have found Isaac in 1911 census. Do you know if he went to Saskatchewan>
1911 MOOSEJAW, SASKATCHEWAN
CAMPBELL
Isaac, age 60, born Sept. 1851, born ON, Scotch, Canadian, Anglican
Rachel, wife, age 60, born June, 1851, born ON, Scotch, Canadian, Presbyterian
I just fund a bit more.
You mentioned that Alvin and Julia's children were emancipated in 1920-1930's but I found them with parents in 1930 and all are in late teens r earluy twenties so why would they need to be emancipated?
1930 EUGENE, LANE, OREGON - 1590 High
CAMPBELL
Alvin D., age 52, married at age 30, born Canada, both parents born Canada, immigrated 1884, operator, gold mine
Julia E., wife, age 47, married at age 25, born MN both parents born Canada
Donald J., son age 21, born MN father born Canada mother born MN
Wallace J., son, age 20, born MN father born Canada, mother born MN
Kenneth S., son age 18, born MN father born Canada mother born MN
Beatrice M., daughter, age 14, born MN father born Canada mother born MN
1900 HAMILTON, PEMBINA, ND
CAMPBELL
Isaac, farmer, age 48, born July 1851, Canada, father born Scotland mother born Ireland, immigrated 1881, 19 years in US, naturalized, number of years married: 1
Rachel, wife, age 48, born Aug. 1851, born Canada father born Ireland mother born Canada, immigrated 1884, 16 years in US, number of years married: 1, children born: 0, children living: 0
Alvin D., son, age 23, born Feb., 1877, born Canada both parents born Canada
Amah E., daughter, age 21, born Dec. 1878 born Canada both parents born Canada
Laura M., daughter, age 13, born Jan. 1887, born ND both parents born Canada
Victor W., son age 10, born July 1889, born ND both parents born Canada
in same house
ALLISON
Mina M., step-daughter, age 18, born May 1882, born Canada both parents born Canada, immigrated 1884, in US 16 years
Ada L., step-daughter, age 16, born May 1884, born Canada both parents born Canada, immigrated 1884 , in US 16 years
** so did Isaac marry two women named Rachel and was this second Rachel married to an Allison first? She is shown with no children born, none living but that may be just referring to her marriage to Isaac as Mina and Ada are listed as his step-daughters.
I have not yet found the link you want to Scotland but am going to try and find a birth for Robert there. I will also try to find his mother's name if I can fr you.
