His daughter Margaret's death certificate in 1881 recorded his profession as 'blacksmith'. ^{1 4}

  Research Notes:

CAMPBELL

"Campbell is primarily a Scottish family name of Gaelic origins.

In Scotland, the name itself derives from two Scottish Gaelic words. "Cam" and "Béal" meaning "Crooked mouth" or "wry-mouthed", originally a nickname which over time became used as a surname.

Campbell is the 47th-most common surname in the United Kingdom, including a significant number in Northern Ireland, largely as a result of the Plantation of Ulster when Scottish and English settlers came to the region. Within the United States, it is ranked as the 46th-most common surname.

The most common Irish derivation is from the surname Mac Cathmhaoil. Descendants of a famous war-leader named Cathmhaoil took the surname, and was often pronounced as "Cammle". This coincidentally was the same pronunciation as the Scottish surname "Campbell". From this Irish surname, a number of derivations were arrived including MacCawill, McCaul, MacCall, Caulfield, and of course Campbell."

  Medical Notes:

The cause of death was certified by John T. Barrie, Surgeon.

Patrick's son in law, Francis Roorke, occupier of the house where Patrick died, and present in the place where he died, notified the Registrar, William Paterson, and made his X mark on 30 April 1862 at Shotts.

Patrick married Sarah HAMMEL. (Sarah HAMMEL was born about 1785 and died on 20 February 1853 in Creena, Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland ^{1 7}.)
