Yes, they show a Jean Bell Irvine on the tree - no birth date but a death date of 1927 Glasgow. Married 18 June 1920 to Archibald Cameron McCorquodale.

Wonder if she was June B Bell on the 1901 Scotland Census (rather than Jean )   ???

Hi Janey,

As far as I  know, www.mundia.com may need you to sign up but it is still a free site giving access to public trees.

 HI SANDRA;

Here I am to update ya on the good news of my Irvine/Backhouse
rellies,,got a nice email from Anne/CT and she sent me some pictures.

Sarah Irvine(b)1922 Partick,Glas,Scot; was her Granmother,,,,
daughterof James & Mgt Wilson/Walker Irvine,she passed away,2005
in CT/USA, she was an only child,there is a nice picture of her about '3'
yrs with her father James and I was just amazed at how much alike
Andrew & James Irvine were,they could have been twins,,,

She said her granmother made many trips back to Glasgow to visit the
family,she herself had met all the Irvine family, including my cousin
Esther,and son James,,she had spent some years at St.Andrews Unv.
though did not say what she studied.
There are some nice pictures of her Granparents,Sarah & Bill Haimke,
her parents,and an aunt. The special one is of my cousin Esther taken
in the 'wee-shop' they ran until they passed away,it's lovely to see and
brought back memories of my childhood ,it had to be taken after '1945'
as that is when my brother & I would go there to pick up the 'Fruit-Box'
Esther would have made up for us.

Have to say Sandra all that wonderful Irvine history you found for me
I passed on to 'Anne' and she was very pleased as she said it was all
new to her,she only had some of her granmother Sarah,Grt/Granparents James & Margaret, and she did know about Jane Bell Irvine McCorquodale
died 1927  of "TB' and "Archibald' remarried a "Christina ??  there were
some children and Anne said the McCord/kids are out here in Canada,
she gave me their 'tree' address which I will get in touch.

I told her James son of Esther/Andrew passed away 2000 but wife Margaret still lived on same street as my late brother,neighbors for 30yrs,
I said I visited her when I was over in 2010.

 I will try to scan her the pictures I have of Esther & Andrew,and let ya know
any more info she sends,,ok,,,,

Kind regards;

Janey; :) 8)
