Hope someone can help, my brain has frazzled.
I know that my father Alexander Page-Robertson (1918-1959) and his mother Mary Page-Robertson (Gourock and Glasgow residents) sailed from Liverpool on the ‘Alondra’ for the Canary Isles on 9th October 1926. Dad’s grandmother was a Mary Turnbull, 1849-1932, her maiden name, so if she was a passenger she would have been listed as Page-Robertson as well.
On the Passenger list is a Mrs M M Turnbull and a Mr or Master A F? N? Turnbull, aged 19, address 9 Bank St. Hillhead Glasgow. When I search Valuations Roll, there is entry Alexander Turnbull (P & O) THE HERITABLE CREDITORS OF MESSRS. DEMPSTER & DALZELL at that address, but it’s listed as ‘Govan’ not ‘Hillhead’.
Are these Turnbulls related to me or is it a coincidence they were on the same ship?
I have a photo of Dad on a pony in the Canary Islands, the reins held by a young man, who I wonder might be the 19 year old mentioned. I grew up with the story that ‘Cousin Alex Turnbull” was Dad’s favourite relative growing up. I’m hoping to get a positive link to those Turnbulls, so I can pursue that line. I come from a one child only for 3 generations, so there are not too many of us to look for, but I’m hopeful the Turnbull line should be going on, somewhere, perhaps still in Glasgow.
