Denny 51 |
1878 |
James McGowan, my great
grandfather on my mother’s side. He was born near Edinburgh, Scotland in 1831
and died in England in 1887. He came to England when he was 18 years old. He
married Louse Theresa Wasp about 1853 and they had 10 or 12 children. He was for many years the
manager of the stables of the London Transportation Co., the horse drawn
buses in London. In 1881 he was foreman of the London Omnibus Co. which later
became the Double Decker buses of London. At this time I am not sure how many
of their children came to Canada. My mother said she remembers some
of her aunts and uncles, Lizzie, Emma, Nellie, Jack and some of her cousins
Cyril, Bessie, Muriel, Nora, Violet, Winnie, Poppy, Albert and Doris. |
