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.

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.

Just an emoji will do. :)
