Robert Mark Campbell, Birth 20 Jul 1851 in Strabane, Tyrone, Ireland; baptised at Donagheady Church of Ireland; married Mary Hampton in 1866? at 2nd Donagheady Presbyterian Church.
Robert Campbell, Mary and their oldest 2 sons left from Glasgow, Scotland on SS Anglia and arrived in NY, USA in 1873.
Robert & Mary settled in Philadelphia, PA, USA and had 8 children.
- John James Cambell b. May 30, 1869 in Tyrone

Robert died in Philadelphia in 1910. He was the son of James Campbell of Cappagh and Isabella Scott. James and Isabella were married at Donagheady First Presbyterian Church, Nov 13, 1849.
Mary Hampton was supposidly born Oct. 4, 1850 in Northern Ireland but I have no idea where. She was the daughter of John Hampton and Rebecca Stewart. I have been unable to find and HAMPTONS just Hamiltons! Mary died in Philadelphia, PA, USA on Dec. 13, 1914
I get confused about the parishes, counties, etc. so started using a map.
Anyway, I am trying to go backward. I have most of the immigration and decendents in the USA.
- I am looking to find the Hamptons which I can't find anywhere (where they born outide Ireland?)
- I am trying to find the Scott ancestors and if the Scott families were intermarried/related
- I am trying to find the Campbells before James Campbell and Isabella Scott.
- I'd likew to know where everyone is buried
- I'd like to find cause of death as I'm looking for trends
I am interesting in finding Hamptons, Campbell and Scott family info!

Hi there,
Here is a little information about Presbyterian church records:
In general, Presbyterian registers start much later than those of the Church of Ireland, and early records of Presbyterian baptisms, marriages and deaths are often to be found in the registers of the local Church of Ireland parish. There are exceptions, however; in areas which had a strong Presbyterian population from an early date, particularly in the north east, some registers date from the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The only published listing remains that included in Margaret Falley's Irish and Scotch Irish Ancestral Research, (repr. Genealogical Publishing Co., 1988). This, however, gives a very incomplete and out of date picture of the extent and location of the records.
For the six counties of Northern Ireland, and many of the adjoining counties, the Guide to Church Records: Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, (PRONI, 1994) provides a good guide to the dates of surviving registers. The copy of the list held in the Office itself includes a listing of Registers in Local Custody which covers all of Ireland, but is much less comprehensive for the south than for the north.
You might be able to find more information about their emigration at the post of arrival. Generally, this information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. You have the name of the port of arrival and you have the name of the ship, so it might be worth looking into.
Hopefully, someone else is also looking for similar information and might be able to help you further.
Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.
Kind regards,
