I am the great grandson of Mary Yule (not sure of spelling variations), but she was born 1892 in Carluke, Scotland. I believe her parents were John Yule and Rose Cummings, but can not verify this. I know she immigrated to the US prior to 1912 when she married my great grandfather Alexander Gardner Williams. I would appreciate any help that can be provided. She told us for years that she was a cousin of Mickey Rooney, but I am not sure of the accuracy of her statement. Once again any help appreciated as this is the last line of my family tree.

Hello Craig,
Mary Yule is the 3rd cousin 2x removed of Mickey Rooney.
Mary and her elder brother John travelled to Maryland, USA in 1907. They were visiting their married sister Jane Martin Yule and her husband Douglas McNair. Mary obviously stayed on in the USA, I don't know what became of John. He had a wife in Scotland.

Hello Craig
Mary and her brother John left Glasgow on the 29 June 1907 and arrived in New York on the 7 July on board the Caledonia. Douglas McNair sailed to New York in October 1904 and his wife Jane and children Anne and John joined him in May 1905. Several members of this Yule branch migrated to the USA.
Mary's parents were John Yule and RoseAnn Cumming. My great grandmother, Cecilia Yule, was the sister of this John Yule. RoseAnn's parents were John Hamilton Cumming and Jane Martin.
RoseAnn died shortly before the 1901 census. John and his children John, Jane, William, Thomas, Mary, Anne and Alexander were living in Larkhall at this time.
There is a lot of information regarding the ancestry of Micky Rooney in this Yule forum, you should be able to work out your relationship with his branch.

I did find a Mary Yule on the Caledonia in July 1907, but she is listed as married and I know that she was only married once and that was to my great grandfather Alexander Gardner Williams. I guess it's only natural that finding the correct person could require more digging. The one thing that makes sense though is that according to your research she was going to Baltimore, and that is where my great grandfather lived and where my grandmother was born. Could be just a transcription error listing her as married upon arrival, but I want to be sure before placing information onto my family tree.
Thanks so much.
