| Notes |
- James Anderson Cameron is not shown on Peter Cameron (Father) Census for 1851 but shown on Rev Alexander's (Peter's Brother) census for 1851 as James Cameron "nephew".
As, from this generation, the only James was James Anderson, Peter's son, this must be JA. This is why we could not find him on Peters Censuses.
- Newspaper article ref: Insolvency on London Stock Exchange 1890 (The Pall Mall Gazette 10 March 1890)
- Shipping passenger records 1890 from London to South Africa:
There is a family Cameron group matching James Anderson's with 3 compatible family birth dates and 3 corresponding matching initails (incl a WP Cameron, likely Walter Patrick) shown leaving London for South Africa late in 1890.
(Charles Alexander however still appears on 1891 Census - see his individual page).
Ship: Doune Castle departed London 24 Nov 1890
