Other biographical information

Una Margaret Campbell’s father was a doctor, as was her brother James.

Dr Campbell married James Hardman, a Sheffield based Neurosurgeon in 1954, at the age of 45years. She was his second wife. Whether she had any children of her own has not been established. James Hardman had two children with his first wife who died in 1946. Presumably Una Margaret became their step-mother. James Hardman died in 1980; in his obituary available on the Royal College of Surgeons “Lives of Fellows” project website, Una is described as his anaesthetist. Una and her husband retired to Westoning, Bedfordshire. He predeceased her. James Hardman’s obituary mentions his interest in History of Medicine and extensive collection of medical history  books; apparently Una helped with the collection of books. She died on 22 January 1986 in a  Nursing Home, Tunbridge Wells (source probate record).
