WOW this is great.
I have some pics of Arajoel school. I will attempt to put on here.
ok maybe no pictures here.
I have a fair amount of info on the descendants of Allan and Rachel.
We have not been able to locate any info on Allan prior to his marriage, he was around 14 years old when he sailed for Aus from Glasgow so around 1863.
Thankyou to all for the info received today, Mum and Dad (Ian C ggs of Allan) where here visiting as the info rolled in and we where amazed at the response and level of information.
I recall when we met dear, though the years they have
gone,
In a small country dance hall while the music played
on,
Rafters were ringing and oil lanterns swayed,
As the band played the Arajoel Waltz.

Hi
Does anyone have any ideas on how to find information on Allan pre immigration to Aus ?
BIRTH.
Name: Allan CAMPBELL.
Born: 15 December 1850.
Place: North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland.
Father: Donald CAMPBELL.
Mother: Sarah MCNEIL.
Found this on Family Search.
As the story goes Allans father died, mother remarried and had died all by 1865. Wonder if that matches Donald and Sarah?
