John Anderson RNVR Auchterarder

[b1b2j3]

First of all thank you very much for your replies. John Anderson married Eleanor, (Mitchell from Greenock maybe around 1917/ 1918 )- she had sisters Florence, Elspeth and maybe another sister Anne (who I believe emigrated to Canada). Their father was Dugald MacI nnes Mitchell and I'm told  a sea captain. Ella died in 1919 in Southampton  a few months after giving birth. An address at the Polygon in Southampton.

As with John Anderson, his Father in Law, Dugald MacInnes Mitchell was also a qualified Mechanical Engineer, a Marine Steam Engine Fitter according to 1891 Census 9 East Blackhall St, Greenock East, Renfrewshire. Born Abt 1860 in Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. Married Elizabeth Ann in England or Scotland. Elizabeth Ann was English born. Their first Daughter Annie Ethel was born in Durham, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, England.

With regard to the downloading of the images, the only image which belongs to me is the one of John Anderson with his Eadie relations in front of the Redwood tree at Stanley Park, Vancouver. (In that I have the original photograph). If you intend to download this for commercial purposes then I shall be grateful if you would let me know, on this forum, any details beforehand.

Hello from Bron. Mal and I are in Australia. I am from the Eadie Burden line and Mal is from the Eadie Lawson. We are not commercial genealogists, but Family historians. That's all. We work with Andrew Eadie, from also our line/s. The Anderson Family married, along with John's ancestors, into all our mutual ancestors and or a few descendants.

Does any of this ring a bell with anyone ?

Hello, I tried to look at the file but all these names, and so small. Far too much. All I can suggest is that the people you are looking for need to come a little more explained (dod, place Parents etc, as much as possible, a good guess would be okay). If you can at all, a location would be helpful. My Marg. Anderson who married my Robert Duff were born later. Sorry.

Hello - thanx for the further posting.

Margaret Duff was my Grandfather's aunt, and I get the impression they were very close. There are a number of pictures of them together  in the family album. Margaret's sons were John and Robert, and they farmed at Ravenswood, a poultry farm near Cumbernauld.  The group photo at the front door of Ravenswood ( in a previous posting) shows  Margaret, and John Anderson. Both died in 1942 within days of each other - TB.

I recall meeting either John or Robert when I was a child,  in the late '50s. I do not have any further information regarding the Duffs. All the data I have posted comes from personal memories, and family anecdotes handed down. The Anderson names you mention seem fairly common, and can be seen in previous postings. best wishes.

Dear 'Human-Project' Person. As, kindly so, my Cousin 'sula sgeir' suggests by imparting for you, his data references on these pages .....

Your Anderson and Duff people may not be located here. These Anderson and Duff Families or groups of people, have specific locations or 'bits' of Scotland, whereupon they grew'd up etc. And, until your details are further explained not many of us may assist you.

PS. Your Link- http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/y/l/Roger-F-Aylard/PDFGENEO1.pdf is very very Big and hard to wrangle. You have no specific locations, dates, nor specifics. Sorry, no quick fix here from me. I am sorry about that.

I was thinking about my Anderson Cousins last night, doing some work on the Family pages. Thank you for this beautiful picture. As I live in Australia and only visited England in my youth, I obviously cannot enjoy the beauty of either Blackford, Perthshire in general, nor Stirling, where the other Cousins of the Eadie, Burden and Andersons came from for example. thank you so much.
