My mother was the sister of William McQueen of Wooler Eric’s father. I hold substantial McQueen family history. They were originally from Skye, moved to Ulster…. and in 1849 came to Wooler.
It would be wonderful to have contact with Eric’s daughter or any other members of the McQueen family. Eric and late brother John (known as Jack) where my cousins but I met neither. John had one son. Roger. and I would like to follow up with him the few contacts we had some years ago.
I will see what I can do.
I can’t find her email address.
I have just seen your reply.
I am Eric’s daughter Anne. We live in Manchester where my father moved to in about 1952
Jack had a son Roger and an adopted daughter who I have contact with. We have attended family weddings recently and always are in contact. I haven’t had a response from Roger since we went to his mum’s funeral nine years ago. My grandfather spent the end of his life in Manchester.
I am the son of John Bowman McQueen. I have so far been unable to trace the family back to Ireland in 1840s. Roger McQueen.
