Dawn, The Liverpool McQueen connection is also of interest to me. It is said that a Loudon McQueen, originally from the Crawfordjohn area of Lanark went to London about 1800 - married and had 2 daughters. Unfortunately nothing has yielded the marriage information or the names of the daughters.

There have been several pioneering electricians in my Macqueens. John James (known as Jim) Macqueen married Bronwen Jones in 1913 and they lived in Liverpool for quite some time. He ran the Radio Station there until he (Jim) was asked to manage the Rugby Radio station as Chief Engineer (the most important in the UK!). His son, Roy Stewart Macqueen (bn Liverpool 1914) was Chief Engineer at Criggion and then Leafield (nr Oxford). There are several other electrical engineers in the history of my husband's family, though I do not have a Liverpool connection for them. These include Norman Stewart Macqueen (bn 1893), his son George Stewart Macqueen, Ian Hamilton Macqueen MBE (bn 1900), and my husband, John Stewart Macqueen and his father Roy Stewart Macqueen (bn 1907). Gordon Stewart Macqueen (bn 1892) was instrumental in the development of time lapse photography. You never know, this might ring some bells! sincerely Dawn Dawn Macqueen Worcestershire, England ==== McQUEEN Mailing List ==== To Unsubscribe: Click on mailto:McQueen-L-request@rootsweb.com to create a new message with UNSUBSCRIBE as the *only* text in the message, and as the subject.
