Scotland / Re: Dr. Patrick Brodie Henderson Mcleod
« on: Wednesday 06 December 23 00:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
My great-grandmother was "Annie Brodie Henderson Gunn" and I am trying to find out where the "Brodie Henderson" came from.
She was born in Latheron, Caithness on 8th Jan 1867 and was the daughter of William Gunn (1825-1906) and Margaret Simpson (1827-1920).  William's mother had a half-sister, called Christina Sutherland (1798-1872) who married John McLeod (1798-1869) in Latheron on 5 May 1822.  I am wondering whether Dr Patrick Brodie Henderson Gunn is a relation of John McLeod or, if not, is there any other connection between William Henderson or Patrick Henderson and my branch of the tree.
Hoping someone might be able to help.

Here's another picture of Jessie H.B. Stevenson (ne Speirs) taken circa 1925-6.  She was with my Dad and my Aunt.  James had died by then (he died in 1922).

Hi Orontes (Edie),

I've just found a photo of Jessie and James Miller Stevenson which meets the required file size. Refer attached!

Hi Orontes (Edie),
Apologies for the delay in responding.  Unfortunately I do not know anything about Mary's sister, Isabella and her husband, John McArthur, nor do I know anyone who would be able to help you. I, myself, live in Victoria in Australia, but I doubt that would be much help!
Unfortunately I can't attach the pictures of Jessie Hamilton Buchanan Stevenson (born Speirs) and her husband James Miller Stevenson as the file size is too large and I don't know how to reduce it. Any ideas?

Hello.
I am a direct descendant of Jessie Hamilton Buchanan Spiers, who I believe you have listed as Janet Spiers in the 1861 Census (refer below). I have a copy of her birth certificate. She was born to Robert Spiers and Mary Stevenson on 26th October 1855 at Chapelforte in Cambuslang. She is my great grandmother.  My Aunt was named Jessie Speirs in remembrance of her grandmother. (Unfortunately they spelt the Speirs incorrectly!). I have a photo of Jessie and her husband, James Miller Stevenson, if you are interested.   

1861: Silverbanks, Cambuslang   
Robert Spiers   34 Coal Miner B Rutherglen
Mary Spiers   35 wife B Cambuslang
*Christina Spiers   10 Daughter B Cambuslang (B 20 Nov 1851)
Janet Spiers   6 Daughter B Cambuslang
Robert Spiers   4 Son b Cambuslang
John Spiers   1 Son B Cambuslang
