YO Sandra;

I'm blown away by " Euphemia Kent " I know Andrew Irvine
had a sister but I will have to double check the files as I thought
her name was "Helen"(b) 1904-6 Glasgow.

Euphemia was a common name in those days,they were always named
after another 'rellie' The one who died on 21Oct,1955  I'll check
but I'm almost sure "Andrew" died in 1955 too ,,,
Esther Backhouse Irvine was my Mother's first cousin, they were the
same age,grew up together, best friends, my Dad was best friends
with "Andrew" they grew up in the same Glas.area,that's how he met
Esther,,they were never apart and Esther was 'lost' when "Andy" died
she passed in 1957 we think of a broken-heart,,my family was out here
in Canada then so we never saw her,,,,,,

 Now Sandra about James Irvine, this is weird,see what you think 
Esther Backhouse Irvine had a brother James Backhouse(b)1891 Glas,
he went out to NY 1925 returned to Glas and married" Flora Wylie Walker"
29Jan,1926  her father was 'David' mother 'Agnes Jane Kerr',,I wonder
if Margaret Wilson Walker could be 'a rellie' I see she remained in Ct,
USA.passing away 1985,,do you see any children to them,,

Last did you see ' a tree' on 'A,,,,try' for Backhouse or Irvine,,
I'm really filling up the pages here Sandra,,my thanks again,,

Kind regards;

Janey;

Hi Janey,

The tree seemed to be more for Irvine - only 1 Backhouse listed and that was Esther.

Margaret Wilson Walker was the daughter of James Walker (1872 Perth. Perthshire. - 1948)  and Sarah Mulvagh (1867 - 1907)

The address for James Walker on Margaret's passenger list entry was 7 Crosslee Street. Cardonald.

James and Margaret Irvine only had 1 daughter in 1930 Manhattan, New York,

James Irvine 30 Born Scotland. Married at 22 yrs. Immigrated 1928. AL Houseman. Private Family
Margaret Irvine 31 Born Scotland. Married at 23 yrs. Immigrated 1929. Housekeeper. Rooming House.
Sarah Irvine 7 Born Scotland. Immigrated 1929. AL. (Now Deceased)
Robert Moore 26 Roomer
William Craddock 34 Roomer.

 HI Sandra;

Had a look at my file for James Backhouse,occ;Butcher;res; 20 Chancellor
Street,Partick,Glas,(mar) Flora Wylie Walker;occ Chocolate -Packer; res;
3 Chancellor Street,Partick,Glas;(f) David Walker;occ Overseer.GPO. (m)
Agnes Jane Kerr; I can't say this is or is not the same Walker family,,
however the address in 'Cardonald'  for Mgt Walker's father is miles away
from Partick on the other side of the River Clyde,,

Now the other query is my mother & Esther B. had connections to the
Perthshire area growing up,all the 'rellies' spent summer holidays in
the wee village of 'Dunning' ,,I have pictures of my mother & Esther
there and one of my aunt's taken with 'George Walker',,,Flora's brother.
The mystery deepens,,eh,,,

Now for the Irvine family, I know that Hope St,Glas. is not that far from
where 'Andy's father had his wee shop,and I do know Andy's brother
James was in 'service to a family out in Hewlett,Long Is,NY as Esther
and him moved out there to work after they married in NYC.

Can you see any parents names for "James Irvine" while I try to
 find my file on Esther & Andy,, ,,,

Kind regards;

"Now Sandra about James Irvine, this is weird,see what you think  
Esther Backhouse Irvine had a brother James Backhouse(b)1891 Glas,
he went out to NY 1925 returned to Glas and married" Flora Wylie Walker"
29Jan,1926  her father was 'David' mother 'Agnes Jane Kerr',,

I can see David Walker with his parents - William Smith Walker 1833 - 1907 and Flora Wylie 1834 - 1901.  Can also see he had a brother James born  1872 N Cumnock. Ayrshire who still lives with the parents in 1891 but not in 1901 ?
But the tree entry said Margaret Wilson Walker's father James was born Perth. Perthshire 1872 ?? We are looking for 1872 Ayrshire ??  So far I can't see another connection.
