Birnie Ireland and Australia

BarbBraswell102 — 6 Jul 2008 12:06:23 GMT

I am trying to find a connection between an E. L. Birnie who wrote a letter in 1915 from Newtown Australia and John "Jack" Stewart of Killygullib, Tamlaght O'Crilly Parish, Co. Londonderry, Ireland. I am not familiar with the name Birnie in TOC but do have quite a bit on the Stewarts of the area. Jack Stewart died at Gallipoli in 1914 and in his records is this letter stating E.L. is his cousin. I know this is a long shot but if anyone has any leads or suggestions for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Robert BIRNIE, b. 1849, Scotland

Stephen E. SPELTZ — 7 Jun 2000 5:54:18 GMT

I am researching Robert BIRNIE my wife's (Birnie BOYER SPELTZ) maternal
great grandfather who was born 21 Feb 1849 in Maud, New Deer Parish,
Aberdeenshire. We have located Robert's father and grandfather, both named
Robert, plus their extended families in Scottish census records. My current research is focused in the
USA. We think Robert emigrated to the US in 1872. We know he married Ann
RONALD on 30 Aug 1881 in Washington County, Missouri. He disappeared in
1885. We think we have located him in the 1900 US Census in Austin, Texas. I am interested in communicating with anyone who has interest on either the US or Scotland end of this BIRNIE line.

Alex BIRNIE and Marilyn (Coster) Birnie

Derek — 3 Apr 2005 6:53:22 GMT

I am trying to trace the family of Alex & Marilyn Birnie. Little is known of Alex however Marilyn is the daughter of George Ernest Coster and Mary Wilson. George was born circa 1905 so I would think that Marilyn would have been born circa 1930-35. Alex and Marilyn had a son Stephen and it is believed that they moved from Edinburgh to one of the Home Counties in England possibly due to Alex's employment. Marilyn would be my 2nd Cousin. If anyone can give me a lead I would be most grateful.

I have searched many Birnie family trees on the net and I don't seem to be able to connect my recent Birnie family (1900-now) to any of them. I believe that we are from the Matheson tarten - perhaps from the MacBirnies.
Can anyone out there point me in the right direction?

JANE BIRNIE MYSTERY

COLIN WATSON — 23 Jul 2004 7:15:25 GMT

My grandmother claimed to be Jane Birnie born around 1880 [26 years old in 1906] at her marriage to Robert Watson in Glasgow. She claimed to be the daughter of John Birnie [Deceased Farm Servant] and Jane Birnie ms Davidson [deceased].

I can find no trace of her birth, her parents marriage etc.

Family stories suggest she was illegitimate and, like her husband Robert, was from the Banff area [perhaps Whitehills or Portsoy].

Grateful for any help, steer, bright ideas or commiseration.

John & Margaret (BIRNIE) (KIMBLE) BARTLOW: Kane Co., IL -> Urbana, IL -> Springfield, MO

pjkimble — 22 Apr 2004 2:05:18 GMT

Seeking information on John and Margaret J. (BIRNIE) (KIMBLE) BARTLOW. Margaret KIMBLE married John BARTLOW sometime after 1930 and before 1946. They lived in Urbana, Illinois from 1946 until sometime before 1953, when they moved to Springfield, Missouri. John and Margaret had 4 sons, one of which lost an eye due to an accident with a gian firecracker, in 6/1953. Margaret’s adopted parents were Tone T. and Edna L. (ALLEN) KIMBLE of Hampshire, Kane Co., Illinois. Margaret’s biological parents may in fact be Tone KIMBLE’s niece, Helen KIMBLE and John BIRNIE.

Tone KIMBLE had a brother William Colby KIMBLE who married Zora ?. William and Zora had two children: Margaret Helen KIMBLE (b. 1896) and Maurine J. KIMBLE. Zora died sometime prior to 1910, and Margaret/Helen and Maurine were raised by William’s parents: William Colby and Margaret Jane KIMBLE. Margaret/Helen married John BIRNIE (b. 6/1891) sometime between 1910 and 1918. They had one daughter: Margaret J. BIRNIE (b. 1916) before Margaret/Helen died on 2/6/1918. John BIRNIE and his daughter moved in with his younger brother William BIRNIE, and is present in the 1920 census for Geneva, Kane Co., Illinois. A 1928 document lists a Margaret J. BIRNIE as having lost her legal guardian (John BIRNIE). By the 1930 census John and Margaret BIRNIE are not present, however Tone and Edna KIMBLE now have an adopted daughter, Margaret J. KIMBLE, also born in 1916, and living in Hampshire, Kane Co. Illinois.

Would appreciate any information concerning the descendants of John and Margaret BARTLOW, in addition to validation of Margaret’s parentage.

Birnie (Aberdeen)

Hannah1612 — 18 Jun 2004 11:56:17 GMT

My Great Grandmother Ann Eliza Birnie was born in Sunderland, NE England in 1869. She was the daughter of William Birnie (b. Aberdeen c.1826) and Mary Ann Tunstall (b. Edinburgh c. 1834). Ann Eliza's known siblings were Thomas (c.1848), Sarah Ann (c.1851), Mary Jane (c.1853), William (c.1860), John George (c.1863), Jessie (c.1873) and Edith Amy (c.1874). All children were born in Sunderland according to Census records, although judging by their birth dates, the older siblings may have been born from a previously unknown marriage. William senior was a Mariner or Trimmer (these normally carried coal up and down the River Wear or coastal waters). After his death sometime between 1888 and 1891, his wife Mary Ann became a Publican.

Any connections? I'd love to find out more about William senior's ancestors.

Regards,

Steve........Sunderland, NE England

ABD Birnies

phil_crabbe — 5 May 2002 5:34:56 GMT

Hi,
I would really appreciate any help with my Birnie family. Top of my tree so far is John Birnie, millwright, and master engineer who married Barabara Hutchison(Hutcheon)in Peterhead on 9th February 1813. To my knowledge he had at least two sons: John born about 1821 in Longside, ABD and George born between 1825 and 1833 (probably the latter)at Longside. He was a builder and travelled all over Scotland. George is my direct paternal descendant and died in Inverness. He had two wives: Janet Sutherland and Jane (Jeannie) McKenzie, but to my knowledge only one son, John Sutherland, my grandfather. If anyone can shed light on this side of my family I should be very grateful. John Sutherland Birnie took his stepfathers surname Cheyne, and eventually emigrated to Toronto Canada without his family, where he died in 1952. Best wishes to all Birnies out there !
