Thanks Daggers, soooo pleased.
I think you missed out page 2 yes?
Would you like any more after page 5?
I'm just hoping the Southern Cross Stars shine on Lords on Thursday

Taken care of while you were snoozing Tina!

Mary
I get the feeling that neither you nor Tina sleeps as you atre both so busy, and helpful. All received and noted.
I see that one Lord Archibald Campbell and wife were residents of G/dale Park in 1871, younger son of the 8th Duke of Argyll. I wonder what he was doing there!
I'll let you know if I find out...

It's obviously a bit of a moneyed area - don't think I'm going to find any of my lot there

We'll watch this space to see if you find out anything!

Liverpool Mercury Friday, January 8, 1869; Issue 6538
Multum in Parvo
The North British Daily Mail announces that
"the marriage of Lord Archibald Campbell, the son, and Miss Callender, the Ward of the Duke of Argyle, will take place early in January at Argyle Lodge."

Liverpool Mercury Thursday, January 14, 1869; Issue 6543
MARRIAGES
CAMPBELL (Lord) - CALLENDER - Jan 12 at St George's Notting-hill, London, Lord Archibald Campbell, second son of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, to Miss Jane Callender.

Liverpool Mercury Friday, April 8, 1870; Issue 6928
Sir Stafford Northcote ... with Lady Northcote and son arrived in Liverpool on Tuesday night and stayed at the Adelphi Hotel. On Wednesday they were waited upon by Lord Archibald Campbell son of the Duke of Argyll who is following a mercantile profession in this town ....

You beat me to the Mercury which was to be the next stop! I wonder what 'mercantile profession' a duke's son, even a younger one, would fit into in Liverpool. Manchester men and Liverpool gentlemen?

Might have another look later with more time, every time I did a search I got sidetracked at work and was timed out

In the Manchester Times Saturday, November 5, 1870; Issue 675 there is a description of the unveiling of equestrian statue of the queen outside St George's Hall, in attendance was Lord Archibald Campbell who is said to be brother of the Marquis of Lorne.

The Leeds Mercury Wednesday, August 23, 1871; Issue 10411 tells of the return home to Inverary of the Marquis of Lorne and his royal bride, Princess Louise .... The Volunteers including the Argyle and Bute Forces will be drawn up in front of the Castle (Inverary) and line the road downward on to and beyond the Frow's Bridge over the river Arey, Lord Archibald Campbell's Company, The Inverary Rifles, forming a special guard of honour at the castle entrance.

Quite a number of advertisements, would this be the same person?
University Life Assurance Society, 25 Pall Mall London SW
President - His Grace Archibald Campbell Lord Archbishop of Canterbury

The Belfast News-Letter, Wednesday, February 21, 1872; Issue 55258
CAMPBELL - Feb 16th at Grosvenor Crescent, Belgrave Square, London, the wife of Lord Archibald Campbell, of a son.

So their main house at least is in London presumably, and I don't know any more about his mercantile profession.

He was here for the visit of Prince Arthur in May 1872.

Mary
Lord AC seems to have been a man of any parts, but I am sure he was not also the Archbishop!
Wonderful use of the newspaper sites, too.

Thank You Mary...
Yes Daggers I was in the Land of Nod downunder while Mary was wombating in England and what amazing finds!
I don't have go to Anc# for the rest of census.
As a kid I can remember our gang going on walks to Grassendale & looking at the big posh houses.
Good reading from the newspapers.
