It seems to be known who his parents were: Donald Campbell and Margaretha Hendrina van Renen. His father was a naval officer, ending as a rear-admiral. Charles Matthews (talk) 21:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Details of Donald Campbell are here. What is lacking is a decent source that H. Dundas Campbell was his son. There was a daughter. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:21, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ah, but that turns out to be the wrong Admiral Donald Campbell: Henry Dundas Campbell's father was not the friend of Nelson, whatever you read in some places. A salutory confusion. Charles Matthews (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
