Campbell-Mallon, England:
"I am looking for any information that anyone can offer regarding my great grandparents James Campbell and Sara Mallon (born 1877), from Coalisland, Dungannon. I know nothing of James Campbell's parents; Sara Mallon's parents were Bernard Mallon and Sara McRory/McCrory.
James and Sara moved to Coatbridge, Scotland, about 1900 and had the following children, James, Alice, Charles and Bernard.
"I hope someone can help me, Vez Campbell."
