Jeanie Houston Laurie born 1929 Leith Edinburgh Scotland.
« on: Saturday 03 January 26 19:12 GMT (UK) »

  I am trying to find more information on Jeanie or Jean as I believe she preferred to be called.

She was the only child as far as I can find out of William and Thomasina Wickham .

I know she married where and when I have no idea .

I believe she had a family .

Apologies  this is all the information I have.

If she was an only child - where does she fit into your FH?  Are you related via her parents? Thomasina was Thomasina Houst Wickham

Page 2 give address of her father in Scotland and aunt in Ontario. That's the 2nd manifest in 1948 she appears in which is why I said look at ALL the records.

Thank you all .

Jeanie was the cousin of my mother in law . He father and my mother in laws mother were brother
and sister they were all brought up in the Leith district of Edinburgh.

 Jeanie did marry and had two daughters my husband remembers meeting them when they visited Scotland  many years ago.
