Andrew Young and Jean Galloway

Hi Karen,
Glad you got my e-mail, and also that you've now sorted out a new computer.
(hope you had everything backed up...)
I've not long got mine up and running again - there were more problems than first thought.
(a few days offline always seems to put me a few weeks behind...)

The reason i'd contacted you was because you were still thinking Janet Galloway as your 3xG-GM,
when it was leaning very much towards it actually being her older sister Jean.

Also that when looking for Andrew Young's death that you'd dismiss the 1880 DC,
and not surprisingly either as his occupation was different, with no connection to Jean Galloway,
...then spend a fortune looking for the "right one"... which could never be found...

That Poor Law record was probably the main start of finding more on Andrew.
Before it was found there wasn't really anything to confirm the guesswork.

ps, when you mentioned,
>Can't wait to hear what you know on Helen
I presume this is for Davie? :lol:

And I do so very much appreciate all the help you have given me!!!
And aye...was referring to Davie's post he left me on Helen Cooper McLean above. I still haven't heard back from him as yet. My GreatGrandmother was Annie Cooper Savage. Helen was her sister, then there was also an Andrew and Samuel Cooper. Their parents were John and Elizabeth Young Cooper (this elizabeth being the daughter of Andrew and Jean Galloway Young. So it's all still in the family :) I'm not yet sure how Davie is related to Helen...says he has her marriage record and some info. I actually have an old photo of Annie and Helen I will be able to send to him once I hear from him PLUS info on the Coopers....info that I just recently found on John's father, Samuel and his family.

Hint....hint...Davie hurry and email me :)

Thanks again jack!
