John Anderson RNVR Auchterarder

[sula sgeir]

I seem to be repeating myself here due to my not realising that there is now a second page for John Anderson !

Thanks for the last posting and a further 'thread' in the picture.

In his journal John Anderson refers to his second voyage to sea. An interesting line is ;


" Very few people saw us sail [from Grangemouth]. Mr W Eadie the owner was one of them and another was George Scotland who was amazed to see such a small ship setting out on such a voyage [ to Vancouver]. The engineers of a ship never see much of the arrival and departure from port, they are too busy down below.

Getting right away we soon passed under the Forth Bridge and settled down for whatever was in store for us."


I'm planning to post all of the journal, which I think he typed up during the time he lived at Ravenswood Farm, Cumbernauld.

Mr W. Eadie was my great grandfather William Eadie and the ship in question was s. British Empire. This ship had been damaged in a collision in the Manchester Ship Canal and the Grangemouth & Greenock Dockyard Company bought and repaired the ship before selling it to William Eadie. This ship joined the s.Cetriana that had sailed the previous year from Scotland to Vancouver. A third ship s.Petriana had also sailed to Vancouver from Scotland but this was sold in about 1911. I have more information on the ships.
John Anderson was related to William Eadie as Margaret Eadie (I think John's grandmother) was a sister of Robert Eadie, William Eadie's father.

Let us not forget Victor Horsburgh, architect, his Brother MacKintosh 'Mac' Horsburgh (Eadie Anderson Cousins) and Alexander Eadie and several other Eadie, Anderson and Lawson etal Family Members, went to Canada.

Some came back to Scotland after military service for the Commonwealth (WW1 & 2) and others stayed. Others like my own from the Eadie, Burden, Bannatyne's came to Australia. Much like my Cousin of the Lawson and Williams. Others, of those of our other Cousin and Family Genealogist, andrew, stayed in Scotland. My Eadie Burden family also drifted, as brewers and tea merchants to England. As described on my ancestry.com pages.

The photo next to the redwoods look distinctly like the Eadie adults and Children's images, or familial resemblance.

The person driving looks like an Eadie and the 'child' next to him is his Son. My Cuz Andrew can clarify the image against familial ....

hello abe23 and b1b2j3, thanks very much for your very interesting entries - I felt there were people 'out there' who would be connected and have information. I'll respond in a bit more detail later but just briefly for now;

The surname Horsburgh is known to me, as a cousin pointed out a house in Edinburgh some years ago, and also a bungalow in Auchterarder.

The name of the ship British Empire is also known to me and John Anderson makes an amusing comment in his journal about the name v. the appearance of the ship! I didn't know much else, nor about the sister ships.

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.

Thank you for the comment about my research - however  :)its all from my memory. As a young child I was always interested in who was who in the family and used to question older relations, and keep artefacts I was given - such as John Anderson's journal, and his photo album. I'll try and get this information on line.

Thanks too Monica for contacting me.

best wishes for now.

We are most certainly your Cousins. I am so glad you got the Horsburgh hint. It is fairly important.

However, I personally feel quite hampered by not being able to give my private email. Not being very familiar with Rootschat, I do not know if this message is to you as private or to you or in the public forum. So, I need, right now to protect others.

 My email is (*)

I can invite you, once Andrew has assured me of your valid quest, to Ancestry.com Tree. Here, Andrew and Mal are the only Authors, on my site and may change entered data.

I anticipate Andrew below has contacted you?

Consider an Eadie & his Son in the front seat and a possible Horsburgh in the back. I must check their (Wm Eadie & Son or a similar round faced Eadie, aged). Travel to Canada.
