Looking for any information on Robert Yuille, son of James Stobbs Yuille and Hannah Bennett Shannon. James and Hannah married in Scotland in 1909, then emigrated to Canada. Hannah died in Scotland 1913, but her usual address was 221 Aubrey Street, Winnipeg. I can't find any trace of Robert being born in Scotland, so presumably was born in Canada 1909-1913. (Unless his father remarried, in which case he might be a child of a second marriage.) Any information welcome.

As a relative of Hannah Bennett Shannon I would also be interested in the whereabouts of Robert Yuille. Perhaps you could e-mail me so that we could discuss the situation.

Since I posted that message, I have found out, from his grand-child's (J Ferris) tree on Ancestry.com, that Robert Yuille died in Montreal in September 1974. His daughter Lorraine died on 5/12/2008 in Oakland, Ontario. However, some other bits of the tree are incorrect, so don't know how accurate that is.

As you are my only link to Robert Yuille's grandchild, I am posting more information and hope this will help. My late father Dr Geo. Gemmill's mother was Elizabeth Jane Shannon, sister to Hannah Bennett Shannon. Robert Yuille and my father were both cousins of the late Miss Agnes Cook Gordon McGarva (known as Nan). I have the wedding sheet of James Stobbs Yuille and Hannah Bennett Shannon who were married in the Academy Rooms, Partick,18th October, 1909 when the 2 hymns chosen were 'The voice that breathed o'er Eden' and 'O perfect love'. I would appreciate more information for J. Ferris and can give you still more details if required.

Good Afternoon
My name is Lorraine Yuille, and I previously received a letter from an Elizabeth Sutheran in regards to the late Robert Yuille. Just to tell you a little bit about myself. I live in Québec in Canada. My father's name is Leslie Yuille. We are the only family in Québec Canada. I'm basically working on a geneology tree because my father was left in an orphanage when he was about 5 or even younger. His mother was Anita Yuille. The father was declared unkown. I know that Anita and here brother John Simpson McGregor Yuille immigrated to canada in the early 1900's and settled here in Québec, John in Ste-Eustache, and Anita in the Dorval area. Anita and John parents were John Yuille and Lucinda Tait from Scotland. And John parents were Adam Yuille and Isabella Wiseman, from Coatbridge, Lanarkshire where they married. Anita's brother, John had 3 children to my acknowledge, Nettie- Ellen known also as Anita Yuille and her twin brother John and Ruth Yuille. I don't know which Anita is my father's mother. Any information would be very much appreciated.

Hello, Lizsutheran - This is a very late reply - sorry I haven't looked at this website for ages. I'm afraid I don't have any more information re J Ferris - don't know if male or female, or what "J" stands for.
Perhaps you've managed to find out more yourself by now.
Nan McGarva's father was a brother of my grandfather.

Hi faoconnie,
Yes, thanks to your information, I managed to make contact with Suzanne Ferris, sister of Jennifer (J), and have exchanged some interesting family history.
Nan McGarva's mother was a 'Shannon' as was my Father's mother, and whilst I don't know anythng about the McGarva family, I've found out quite a lot about the Shannon side of the family including Robert Yuille.
Thanks, once again, for your help,
Liz Sutheran
Thanks once again for your help.

If you are interested I can give you some info on Robert Yuille and some of the Yuille family!!

Hi, Thanks for your interest. Since posting my query on Robert, I've been in touch with some of his family in Toronto, Ontario, who have given me some great information about his upbringing with my relations in Scotland and his fascinating later life ending up in Canada. I'm wondering if perhaps you are related to him. Regards, Liz.

Hi, Liz - Thanks for your message. We've already been in touch on GenesReunited about the Shannon family, so yes, Robert is a relation, though distant. But I'd be interested in any information. Thanks. Connie.
