About Lucille

This web-site, dedicated to Canada’s English pioneers, is based on original research carried out by Dr. Lucille H. Campey.

Born in Ottawa, Lucille obtained a B. Sc from the University of Ottawa and worked initially as a computer scientist for Canadian Industries Ltd. near Montreal. After marrying Geoff she moved to England and began training to become an historian. After studying Scottish emigration to Canada for a number of years, Lucille acquired a Ph D from the University of Aberdeen. Lucille and Geoff Campey now live near Salisbury in England.

Having written eight books on Scottish emigration to Canada (see www.scotstocanada.com) Lucille went on to study English emigration to Canada and has now completed two books covering Atlantic Canada and Ontario and Quebec. A third book, which is still to be written, will describe the English in western Canada. Together the three books, all published by Dundurn, form a series titled The English in Canada and represent the first-ever comprehensive and detailed study ever to be carried out of English emigration to Canada.
