Hi, not sure what you are wanting so I'm giving you census info with James. If you want more on his parents let me know, and I'll see what I can find.

1901 LOT 61, QUEENS, PEI
CAMPBELL
Duncan, 48, farmer born . 6,1853 PEI (can't read month of birth)
Hannah, 36 wife born July 29, 1865 PEI
William,16 son born June 17, 1885 PEI
Alfert, 9 son born Oct. 12, 1892 - in image could be Alferd? PEI
James, 6 son born January 22, 1895 PEI
Marion, 2, daughter born Feb. 10, 1899 PEI

I see the date of birth does not match but I have seen that before - not sure why?
Here is the family in 1911 and once again birthdates do not match with 1901 census but names do

1911 PICTOU, NOVA SCOTIA
CAMPBELL
Duncan, age 55, born Feb. 1856 PEI
Hannah, wife age 47, born Feb. 1864 PEI
William, son age 24, born March 1887 PEI
Alfred, son age 22, born Aug. 1888 PEI
James, son age 16, born Dec. 1894 PEI
Marion, daughter, age 10, born April 1901 PEI

I wonder who gave the birth dates as they really are quite off from one census to the next

1921 PICTOU, NOVA SCOTIA
CAMPBELL
Duncan, age 65,born PEI parents born PEI
Hannah, age 56, wife, born PEI parents born PEI

I looked for James in 1921 and did not find him in NS but there is a James G. Campbell age 28, single, born PEI, living in North Vancouver, B.C. - he is a broker, in an office

but I see in the marriage record for James and Annie that he is an engineer - so not sure about the fellow in 19121 B.C.

Marion married Daniel McKeeman Jan. 8, 1916 Pictou - she was 19, he was 33

Alfred married Viola Adelaide Latimer - Nov. 15, 1935 - Inverness, NS - he was 45, she was 39

I found a marriage for a William that may be the right fellow - William Campbell married Elizabeth Dorothy Sutherland ( age 30) Jan. 2, 1912 Pictou - he is age 28, shown born Sturgeon PEI so that fits, but no father's name shown, but mother is shown as Hannah
witnesses are Albert (?) Campbell and Marion Campbell
so age seems about right for this Wm.

and a possible death for Duncan - Duncan Campbell age 76, born PEI died July 5, 1928 Pictou, NS, parents James Campbell born PEI and Annie Carney born PEI, informant was Mrs. Duncan Campbell

Hannah Campbell age 83, died May 21, 1947 Pictou, NS - widow of Duncan Campbell,
her birthplace shown as Murray Harbour and date says unknown then crossed out with Aug. 1863 written over it
father Condon, born Murray Harbour and unknown mother born Murray Harbour
informant Alfred Campbell, son

Marion McKeeman died Aug. 30 1932 Pictou, NS
age 35, born Murray Harbour, PEI
parents Duncan Campbell and Anna Condon
informant was her husband

her husband died March 21, 1952 - listed as Donald McKeeman
age 70, born PEI, widower of Marion Campbell
informant, daughter Madeline McKeeman

Hope this helps, Carolyn

I found a bit more.

PEI BAPTISM INDEX
CAMPBELL - all of these children show parents as Duncan Campbell and Hannah Condon

James Augustine Campbell born May 21, 1883 bapt. June 28, 1883 St. Paul's Church, Sturgeon

William Campbell born Jan. 28 1885 bapt. Feb. 13, 1885 St. Paul's Church, Sturgeon

Alfred Campbell born Nov. 6, 1890 bapt. Nov. 13, 1890

James, born April 3, 1893 bapt. April 6, 1893

Mary Campbell born Jan. 1, 1899 bapt. Jan. 26, 1899

James Augustine and William are also in the Baptism cards at familysearch which is where I got their place of bapt. from - that database only goes to 1885

so seems like son James Augustine must have died young
In 1891 Duncan 37, Hannah 23 have children William 7 and Albert 6/12 with them, no James so first son James must have died before then.
Also Alfred is definitely shown as Albert

I have not found his death

Duncan Campbell and Hannah Condon were married April 18 1882 PEI (this can be found at familysearch.og) witnesses were Peter Condon and Elizabeth Brome

Hannah's death record which I gave you did not have her parent's names just her father's surname. I looked for a bapt. card for her and there is only one that seems to fit

Hannah Condon
Born Aug. 5, 1863 bapt. Sept. 12, 1863, St. James Parish, Georgetown, PEI
parents James Condon and Margaret Dunphy

I tried to find a Duncan Campbell with parents James Campbell and Annie Carnie (names shown in his death record) but did not find his bapt. but there is a bapt. for a John Campbell with parents John Campbell and Anne Carney so I wonder if those were Duncan's parents also.

I did not find bapt. of any more children showing those parents but 1881 census does seem to fit
as Duncan and Hannah married in 1882 this could be him with family in 1881
1881 LOT 61, KINGS, PEI
CAMPBELL
Niell, 29, married born PEI
Marget, 21, married, born PEI
Duncan, 27, single born PEI
John, 21, single born PEI
Ann , 55, widowed, born PEI
A. John, 2, single born PEI
Mary, 3/12, (Nov.) single, born PEI

the age of John fits with John born to John Campbell and Anne Carney

Carolyn-
Thanks for all your additional info. I did find in NS Vital Stats that Jas Campbell d. Mar 7, 1927 in Pictou from TB and is buried in Pictou. I'm waiting to hear name of cemetery and if his wife Annie is buried with him. It would appear from your info that his parents are likely in same plot. I haven't entered Jas' siblings, but this is what I have to date:
