John Anderson RNVR Auchterarder

I took sometime to look at the photo last night and the driver is definitely William Eadie and the passenger in the front is his son James Eadie.
The car is probably an Albion. Albion only manufactured cars until about 1914 when they solely concentrated on lorries. I believe that William Eadie imported some Albions into Vancouver.
You can see a photo of Gleneagle House on the Blackford Historical Society website http://www.blackfordhistoricalsociety.org.uk/gallery_2_29.html

I thought that I had a photo of John Anderson's grave in Blackford Churchyard but all I have is the info from pre 1855 MIs for South Perthshire by Mitchell published by Scottish Genealogy Society,

1823; Jas Anderson d. 7.1822 62Y, wife Janet Forbes d. 1881 97Y, son John d. 1.3.1866 58Y (wife Margt. Eadie d. 10.11.1910 80Y, son John d. 7.3.1895 35Y); John Anderson d. -.10.1942 53Y

I will take a photo the next time we are passing by Blackford. I have found a photo that I took back in 1991 of an earlier Anderson gravestone in the churchyard that is attached.

William Eadie took his wife and daughter along with his sons William, Alexander and James to Vancouver. His other sons Robert & John remained in Glasgow. William Eadie's business plans were thrown into disarray by WWI and William returned to Glasgow by 1917. The only son who remained in Vancouver was Alexander.
His ship s.Cetriana was involed in the Mexican Revolution evacuating refugees.
In addition his other daughter also went to Vancouver with her husband Rober Freer who was an electrical engineer. Interestingly Robert Freer also studied at Glasgow & West of Scotland Technical College between 1897 and 1903 as a part time student. The Technical College is now Strathclyde University.

I should say as well that the Hordburghs, Victor and MaC (Mackintosh) came from a photographer Family. So, the camera person may have been a brother, John Horsburgh senior or one of the sisters. There is a cousin who lived with Victor until her death as well. All artistic little critters!

Some background to the on the day Census. Jessie Taylor Rae was previously married to Robert Scotland. And, her Sister, Margaret Taylor Rae also married my Uncle (of the same Eadie Family- Peter Burden) Bit weird hey! But anywaysMargaret Taylor Rae died early also.

Family Pic on Steps. Not entirely sure, but could the woman, glasses at back next to John Anderson be Margaret Anderson? Did she marry a Duff? Her Parents were: Parents John Anderson 1807 – 1866 and Margaret Eadie 1832 – 1910

Your QUOTE- John's sister Margaret was Margaret Eadie Anderson. Some years ago I noticed a baker's in the high street by name of Eadie. Margaret lies in the churchyard at Glendevon, having spent the last years at her cousin's house in Glendevon. I have a portrait picture of Maragret in her QUARANC uniform - she was a nurse in WW1.

QARANC - Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps

Information about the QARANC The Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps


 The QARANC (Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps) has served the nursing and medical needs of the British army, their allies, prisoners of war and local civilians since 1854. Though they were then known as the Army Nursing Service and then the Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service before becoming QA's and forming the corps of QARANC in 1949.
