Hopefully, there are only the 2 John A Campbells in the area, being such a common name, it could have been worse. Either could be correct.

nameslessone, yes I did see that one as well.

I think I have to order the certificate to be sure.

Hoping now if I order certificates I can confirm the connection to one of my GG Uncles, thank you so much.

There is another John A Campbell born in 1935, Surrye North Eastern mmn Smales

John Campbell, age 39, widower married Hilda Gertrude Samles in 1934. I can't find them on the 1939.

I had to swop machines -

Got it, nameslessone, also now found the marriage banns, John Henry Campbell and Lilian Constance Kirk, father james campbell, married 16 Jul 1932

Thank you.

The birth cert will name both parents

John H and Lilian are on the 1939 but there is no one else living at that address.
John H was born in 1901 and was an engineer.

I did look, he could still be alive, couldn't find him, I found possible siblings, Marie C Campbell 1937, mmn name kirk, Paddington, Mary campbell 1938, mmn Kirk,Paddington, and possibly Patricia Campbell 1940, mmn Kirk, born Marlebone.

They could all still be alive, obviously Patricia wont be on there.

John could be a closed record on the 1939 register.

Am looking for parents of John A Campbell born 2nd qtr 1935, Paddington. mmn Kirk. Vol 1a, page 22.

He married Sheila M Jones, born Dec qtr 1936 in Paddington, mmn Forder.

I think I am sure John and Sheila had 2 children a boy and girl, both born in Paddington 1959 and 1963, I wont put their names.

John and Sheila married in 1957 in Paddington, 1st qtr 1957.

I don't need any information on Sheila, I have traced her back 3 generations, its John A Campbell I am stuck on.

I know I will probably have to order the marriage certificate.

I am trying to connect John Campbell to my Great Great Aunt and Uncle, James George Campbell 1865, Ireland, DOD unverified and his 2nd wife Annie Young White, 1872 Ireland, DOD unverified. They had 9 children, 4 were sons, James 1896, John 1900, William 1904 and David Eric 1907, all born in Ireland.

I know the information I have on John is sparce, that's why I am stuck, any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
