Hi

Did you ever find any trace in the USA of Elizabeth Blackie Tennant (born 3/10/87 in Tradeston) ?  I know your original post was some time ago!

I've just been doing the tree for the grand-daughter of James Tennant Harris (born 1898 in Cathcart) - James being the brother of your Andrew (born 1895) who married Anna Waite Leigh Kinney.

The Harris family emigrated to Australia in 1928 with the Rennie family - James married Manora Rennie in 1923 in Partick - however my friend returned to the UK in the 70's.  Her mum * , daughter of James Tennant Harris and Manora, is still alive and well in Australia, although now into her 90s.

Just realised that you've probably found the info you were seeking.

Hi

Are you still looking for information on Alexander Norris  - mother Elizabeth Norris - step-father Thomas Timperley.  He married Mary Ellen Timperley (1837-1937) and they lived in Glasgow from their marriage in 1882 onwards. They had 12 children I believe.  My connection is through their daughter Isabella Clark Norris.  Happy to give you more information, however I appreciate that it's been a few months and you may have already discovered all  of this.

Best wishes

George Macdonald
