Volume 3, page 66, sitting number 2953.

Mrs Katherine Isabella Campbell was the second wife of Walter Frederick Campbell of Islay. One source gives her maiden name as Catherine Isabella Cole. She appears on the 1861 census, a widow living at Niddry Lodge in the Campden Hill area of Kensington. The head of the household is her step-son, John Francis Camden. The other members of the family at the same address are Mrs Campbell’s own children, namely Walter, Violet and Constantia. According to the census, she was 44 years old; the census also records the fact that she was blind. Mrs Campbell appears at the same address on the 1871 census.

Mrs Catherine Isabella Campbell died, aged 81, on 19 December 1897 at 105 Eaton Square, London. She left effects valued at £24,652.
