Got fed up trying to find David Camerons so just did a search for all Camerons born in Rhode Island between 1860 and 1870. There are only 17.

There are an unhealthy amount of Cameron children living in institutions, with other folk or Uncles in the 1880 census.

One, Frances M., caught my eye.

Providence, Providence, Rhode Island

James CAMERON Self M Male W 37 SCOT Hair Dresser SCOT SCOT
Elizabeth M. CAMERON Wife M Female W 36 SCOT Keeping House IRE IRE
Archibald J. CAMERON Son S Male W 10 RI SCOT SCOT
James E. CAMERON Son S Male W 8 RI SCOT SCOT
Sarah M. CAMERON Dau S Female W 6 RI SCOT SCOT
Elizabeth A. CAMERON Dau S Female W 2 RI SCOT SCOT
Frances M. CAMERON Niece S Female W 19 RI Sewer In Mill SCOT RI

No sign of any RI births and no sign of David born abt 1837 or Mary born abt 1843
Searching for Keogh, Kelly, Fitzgerald, Riddell, Stewart, Wilson, McQuilkin, Lynch, Boyle, Cairney, Ross, King, McIlravey, McCurdy, Drennan and Woods (to name but a few).

Also looking for any information on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland.

thanks Andy
i got the same one late last night , yes it is him as he has Robet and Frances as Parents , havent got the David as yet , but did find a few Deaths for David Camerons ,
i couldnt get any marriages for any of these females , i am wondering if the neice is Davids Daughter , he was the eldest of the two Brothers ,
i found someone looking for Family of the James E Cameron , so have emailed him ,
only thing i can think of on the William Jamieson he was married to one of these Daughter , as havent come over that name anywhere ,not even on my Material GrandMothers side , then again , i cant get away from Stewarts , trip me up all over the place ,
i managed to find the ship and records my Uncle went over on ,and says this William is an Uncle , although on poor reform application Uncle James , states he was going over to Friends in Pawtucket ,seems to be taking a bit shape on this side now ,
thanks again :lol:

Hi Jan

The next time I'm at the Rhode Island Archives, I'll check the "Bride Marriage Index" to cross reference a female CAMERON marrying a male JAMIESON.

You could also try searching the on-line obituaries from our local newspaper, The Providence Journal for your mother's brother death notice. Maybe there some hidden clues waiting for you?

P.S. Jan you may want to consider posting an ATTENTION grabbing title for your future posts, such as

DAVID CAMERON - PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

Hi
sorry there seems no connection between the two families , i managed to get in touch with one of James Sons grand daughters , shes done a good job on her family tree and no one in Pawtucket , only one person left he could belong to and thats my Grans half Brother ,he would have to have a Daughter who married a Jamieson , and went from here ,
so i will look today for Crawford - Jamieson marriages , but going by my Brother there was someone in USA , he just cant recall who ,
oh well lol another fine mess
