40 years old. Married to John Campbell, from Dublin, a wandering salesman. Came with her husband and their daughter, Margaret (8), into England to sell some goods her husband had acquired from her brother William, a weaver near Glasgow. Husband claimed to be going to Leeds, but never did; instead he lodged his family in several places, most recently Durham, while he ‘got a false pass of some of the Irish people at Newcastle upon Tine and brought her another to begg with and he is going about with his’. Came to Whitby 15 days previously. Examined as a vagrant and served with a removal order, 12 September 1753.
