Title: Hope/Brownlie
Post by: Oletta on Saturday 19 October 24 15:56 BST (UK)
John Hope was born in Govan on the 9 August 1885, his parents were John Hope and Elizabeth McIldowie and his wife Jeanie Margaret Murray Brownlie was born 9 February 1906 in Cathcart, Glasgow to parents George Brownlie (tea agent) and Emily Fairholm.  John and Jeanie or Jean have two children both born in Glasgow.  The family left Prestwick airport on the 15 April 1948 and landed on the 16 April 1948 in New York and set up home at Penn Criag, Quogue, Long Island, New York.

I am looking for any information on this family, especially where John and Jeanie died and where they are buried/cremated

Regards
Oletta

There is a John Hope with that birth date on the SSDI (issued New York) but don't think it is yours.
The California Death Index gives his birth place as South Carolina.

Added Family Search record for California Death Index gives birth place as Scotland !!  So that now looks correct

His obituary says he was age 80, a 12 year resident of the San Diego area, a native of Scotland, and a retired lawyer.  He died Jan. 14 in an El Cajon hospital.  He was survived by 2 daughters, one in El Cajon and one in San Diego, and a son.

Dear All

I can't thank you enough for all the information and help you have given me in looking for John Hope and Jeanie (Jean) Margaret Murray Brownlie and their family.  Thank you very much. 
Does anyone know what happened to John Hope (Senior) wife Jeanie (Jean) Margaret Murray Hope nee Brownlie?

Regards

Oletta - can you contact me please. I was looking out your Gourley message also for Dumfries and looked at your more recent posts and realize we have a lot in common!

I have the same distinctive last names of McIldowie, Gourley, Waugh & Hope all from Dumfries as my direct ancestors. I am in the UK and it would be really interesting to compare notes.

I'll take the time to read through your posts to get an idea of where you fit in with my tree.

Jacqui, you need to make one more post so that the private messaging system works.
Just an emoji will do.  :)
