John Campbell Birnie - Born at Corran Lighthouse 21 Aug 1871
« on: Thursday 09 January 20 20:50 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find more about John Campbell Birnie.

John was the younger brother of my great grandfather, George Robertson Birnie. My great grandfather was born at Covesea Skerries lighthouse, near Lossiemouth; latterly he became a foreman in the repair fitting department of Alexander Stephen & Sons' shipyard in Govan, Glasgow.

John was born on 21st August 1871 at Corran Lighthouse, Ardgour in Argyllshire. He married Jane Watson on 23rd November 1893 at Carskey Waterfront, Southend in the Mull of Kintyre and died on 1 October 1937; at 59 Crowhill Road, Bishopbriggs. Jane died on 8 July 1942 at 59 Crowhill Road, Bishopbriggs. I would be interested to hear from any of their descendants who would have lived in the Dunbarton, Glasgow and Bishopbriggs areas.
