  • Notes 
    • Walter CAMPBELL & Jennie Virginia IRVING

      According to vital Records in St. John county of New Brunswick, Canada - Jennie married Walter in Saint John, New Brunswick on 4 Oct 1892. This date is about 20 months before her father, William IRVING, died (May of 1894). Their marrage record indicates that Walter was living in Boston, MA (USA) at the time and that his occupation was Engineer.

      The 1900 US Census for Eastport, Washington County, ME shows that Jennie and Walter moved to the USA in 1895. They reported being married for 7 years, which appears correct (married in Oct and census taken in June - 7 full years). This census record includes a son and two daughters living at home, it also indicates that Jennie has given birth to four children however only three still alive. The children living at home include:
      -- E. Campbell, Son, Born May 1895 in Maine
      -- Harriet M. (Maude?) Campbell, Daughter, Born Oct 1896 in Maine
      -- Mabel B. Campbell, Daughter, Born Sept 1898 in Maine

      If their son was born in Maine in May of 1895, and they entered the USA 1895, their entry date was during the first 5 months of that year. Jennie reported that her Mother was born in Canada and Father in Ireland, which agrees with the information we have on her parents. Walter reported that he was born June 1871 in Canada, is 28 yrs old, and that both of his parents were born in Canada (Eng).

      The 1910 US Census for Dedham, Norfolk County, MA shows Walter, Jennie, and 4 children living in Dedham. Address is 25 Bryant St. Walter reported that he is 39 and Jennie is 42 years old and have been married for 18 years. In disagreement with the 1900 census, this census reports that Jennie gave birth to 4 children of which all are alive. Walter reports that he is an Electrician working for the Electric Co. (Boston Edison). Also in disagreement with the earlier census the year of immigration is reported as 1896 for Walter and 1890 for Jennie. The children listed are:
      -- Maud H Campbell, born in Maine and is 13 years old
      -- Mabel B Campbell, born in Maine and is 11 years old
      -- Elmer J (or G) Campbell, born in Maine and is 8 years old
      -- Bertram Campbell, born in Massachusetts and is 6 years old

      Walter took a second wife (Alice E. Blackman) in 1916 after Jennie's death.
