Sydney Henry Campbell was born Henry Tabel in Ballarat in 1872. It is not
clear why he changed his name but his first two children were born
‘Tabel’s’.
He was the son of Pierre Tabel, who migrated to Australia as a 20 year old aboard the Minerva in 1853, along with his elder brother Henry, who was a witness at his wedding, and sister Catharine. His sister went on to New Zealand to be re-united with her fiancee, Emilius Le Roy, who she married in 1855 in Auckland.
Pierre Tabel was born at Port St Peter, Guernsey, Channel Islands where his forefathers had lived from at least the 17th century, and was mainly of French blood.. He was a fruiterer in Ballarat and was buried there on 14 December 1914.
Sydney Henry was shown as Henry Tabell for the birth of his first two children. He was in Ballarat around 1910 to at least 1912, where his parents were still living, moving to Broken Hill by 1914. By 1915 he was working in the mines. Records show that he was employed as a shift boss up to March 1939. In 1939 he described himself as a shopkeeper. The Barrier Miner reported on 5 December 1944 an accident in which he was involved.

MAN INJURED
BABY HAS LUCKY ESCAPE
As the result of an accident last night in which a lorry struck a pedestrian, a man was injured and a baby in a pram had a narrow escape from serious injury. The mother of the child suffered severe shock.
About 8 p.m., Ray Landorff, of 116Cornish Street, was walking with his wife. Mr Landorff was wheeling the pram in which was their one month-old baby. A Dodge lorry, driven by Sydney Campbell, of 116 Cummins Lane, allegedly approached from behind them and struck Mr.Landorff, throwing him to the road-way on his face. The pram was tipped over.
Mr. Landorff was admitted to Hospital. His condition was reported today as comfortable. The baby was examined at the Hospital but was found to be unhurt.
Mrs. Landorff suffered severely from shock and had to be assisted to the home of her mother-in-law. Constable Booth, who is in charge of the inquiries, said that Mrs. Landorff was assisted to this place by a man and his wife, whose names are unknown. Police are most anxious to contact this couple and anyone with information which would help towards this end should communicate with Constable Booth at the Railway Town Police Station.
He died in 1953 81 from tuberculosis and pneumocomosis, probably as a result of his years in the mines. The Barrier Miner reported on his death on 27 July 1953.
