WITH SPECIAL THANKS ONCE AGAIN SANDRA COMPLETE Thomas McCrindle b 1885 Ayrshire

[MaryThielemann]

Sandra, for the record, I know that Winnie Irene (Grovenburg) McCrindle was not married again after her marriage to Andrew McCrindle.  She and Andrew had a daughter ^(*) McCrindle in 1939. When I knew Winnie, she was a widow, last name of McCrindle, and lived in the Goodyears Bar/Downieville area of California in a house right near that in which her daughter ^(*)
and her husband (my dad's brother) ^(*).

Andrew Dennis McCrindle married Winnie Irene Grovenburg about 1923. Winnie born 21/03/1904 in Tacoma, Pierce, Washington and died 17/05/1989 in Goodyears Bar, Sierra, California according to family tree.   May have been a second marriage for Winnie but not sure it that date of marriage is correct. I can see a Winnie Gilman born 1904 Washington in Honey Lake Lassen. California in 1930 with a son aged 6 and she is still married. 

Winnie Irene McCrindle - [Winnie Irene Grovenburg] 
Birth Date: 21 Mar 1904 - Washington
Death Date: 17 May 1989  - Nevada
Mother's Maiden Name: McDonald
Father's Surname: Grovenburg

Hello Mary,

Welcome to Rootschat

Sorry to correct but you have slightly misinterpretated what I wrote.    In the quote above I was sceptical of the date of marriage to Andrew McCrindle in 1923 because Winnie was living with her Mother, America Grovenburg in 1930 under the name Winnie Gilman, there was also a grandson of the same name.  The 1930 Census stated Winnie was married at 21 years.  If that was correct, Winnie married Andrew after 1930 and it was her second marriage.  I did not say she remarried after Andrew had died.

Hi Mary ,
             May I add my wee bit to this I am sorry if you were upset in anyway by this information.  I  am a   direct descendant of a McCrindle who was born in Ayrshire in 1675 if it wasn't for Sandra and all the other people on "Rootschat" I and many like me would have big gaps in  their family tree.
The help we receive is all voluntary and I for one appreciate it immensely I now have information on ancestors  all over the world at the moment I am researching in Australia. Without this assistance I  would never have been able to find the information I  have today .
It is one of the best sites I have found while doing my genealogy  and if you ever need help in tracing one of your ancestors I and many more would thoroughly recommend it.
Regards,
Suzilad

Hi Lasthero
           

       Thank you for posting these dates of births . As I said in a previous post I am a direct descendant of the McCrindles and

have information on them back until 1675 here in Scotland  I don't have many gaps in the tree one is  Edith located her

husbands and their children's but unfortunately never been able to locate hers. Very fortunate that I can go whenever I please

to the GROS in Edinburgh.

Regards,

Suzilad

Hi again,
              Mary Dennis and Andrew McCrindle  had more of a family than these two can't for the life of me think of the names at
the moment.

One I am positive died in America the others here in Scotland.

If you are researching McCrindles just PM me and we can perhaps exchange info.

Regards,

Suzilad

Hi, I am Andrew Dennis McCrindle's grandaughter. I never met him but this is what I know about him. He left Scotland and traveled on horse stock ships, ended up in Canada where my mother heard that he married and had a female child, (is this Edith?) He left Canada for California where McCrindle.She is still living. Winnie had been married before and had a son, Ford Gilman from a former marriage. We do not think Andrew, whom was nick-named Shorty, ever legally divorced his wife in Canada when he left and married my Gran. I believe my mother, whom was excited to hear she might have a half sister tried to contact her once but was turned away. We always heard that he was 12 when he left Scotland.
From your thread, It sounds like he had a brother, Thomas here in the states. Very interested in learning more about the family!

My Mother, Andrew and Winnie's daughter would be very excited to know more about her ancestry on her father's side. We know very little.
