Campbell Family

LeitrimCarrigallen (Leitrim)

My GG Grandmother Bridget Campbell Reilly was born in Cavan but the 1841 census states her father Edward Campbell was born in Leitrim.  I found an Edward Campbell in the 1821 census in Aughawillian, Carrigallen with a father Edward and mother Prudence.  The age seemed about right to assume the possilbilty it could be him, I would imagine there are no records available to add to the census?

Also, Bridget Campbell Reilly's daughter Catherine b. 1873 married a Hugh Clarke from Carrigallen and they had three children in the early 1900's   Mary, Annie and Edward between 1909 and 1912. They were all born in Carrigallen.   I can't find any information on them either.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

There is no way to know if the Edward Campbell record belongs to your Edward. I did not locate the 1821 census record you mentioned.

Hugh Clarke married Catherine Reilly in July 1908  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1908/10065/5660952.pdf

Here is the family in the 1911 census http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Leitrim/Carrigallen_East/Drumkeelwick/658240/  They lived in Drumkeelrick

Thank you Roger for checking.  I found that 1821 census on rootsireland.    I just got a lead on another Campbell family from Carigallen from a 1841/1851 census substitute so will try to follow that family and see if it connects.

I appreciate your time.
