Research Notes

  • This Elizabeth (James) Campbell is often confused with Elizabeth (Taylor) Campbell who was supposedly also married to a different man of the same name, "Patrick Campbell". However, confusion swirls around these families and some have claimed that they are one in the same.
  • This Elizabeth has traditionally been given the maiden name of "James" - where is the proof?
  • This Elizabeth has traditionally been given the parents of "William James and Elizabeth/Lettice Taylor" - where is the proof?
  • RECORD OF INTEREST: Posted here is a baptism record in The Church of St. Anne, Turton in the County of Lancashire, England, which reads, "19 Mar 1721 Elizabeth d. James & Lettice Taylor, Edgworth." Given the traditions named above, this begs the question - could this be our Elizabeth?
