Patricia, the Liverpool link is an interesting one. 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

HI again, too much typing for me today but I am interested in finding Liverpool relatives be they distant and far away no matter. I cant find my John McQueen born Scotl1846. His name was not on the Brit census of 1861 with the family now that I think of it. John would be my g/uncle if I could find his family now. Come to think of it he would be about 16 at time of that census 1861. He could have gone out on his own. There is a John James McQueen born Liverpool in the Brit census of 1881. If this was my great uncle(probably not) he would have been 36 at that time. Maybe he married a stewart lady. Old Owen Queen/Queen Macqueen called himself many names, probably illiterate or close to it but that was the period not like today. My Dad John McQueen born Dublin but lived in Lpool many years with his dad Thos.Owen and brother thos. My Dad's brother Thos. worked for the electricity board in Dublin not a high position, just driving Ithink. His two sons Alex and thos. worked in the Telephone/computer for the city (a government job) Both died recently in Dublin over 70 I dont know the details they have large families still in Dublin but I am not acquainted with them. Enough rattling on, my hands are cold. We have a very cold spell in S.Francisco with snow on high ground, lots of ice and snow in the Sierra Nevada hills, not far away 200 miles maybe. Cheers give me any feedback you can.
