I am searching for any information on my grandmother, Minnie Jane Murray. I know she was born in Scotland. She married Harry Stanwell who was born in England and they came to the U.S.A. around 1912.
She died in England or Scotland before 1924.
They had four children: Leonard, Constance, Dorothy and Winifred.
I really would appreciate any information about this family.

Further to my previous posting on MARGARET BANNON and PATRICK McKEON. They were married June 6th, 1914 at St. Johns Roman Catholic Church, Fauldhouse, West Lothian. Patrick's age is given as 41, Maggie's as 27.Both residing in Fauldhouse. Patrick's parents were MATTHEW McKEON and MARY McLINEY?. The marriage record shows Margaret's name as MAGGIE ( daughter of Patrick Bannon (farmer ) & Elizabeth Kelly.The witness to the marriage was Thomas McKeon, perhaps Patrick's brother? I'm still searching for ANY information on these familes and would really appreciate some help. Thanks, Brenda
