Beverley - earlier this year, LAC announced they were digitizing all CEF service files. Rennie should appear in the latter half of 2015 is my guess, so check back then - The URL has changed to: |

A sis-in-law could well be described as a sister. |

Isobel - it may have been another relative - aunt or uncle who had emmigrated to Canada first. I have 2 family members who enlisted in Canada in WW1 and they had actual gone out before the war to an uncle in America. |

Did a bit of checking. One sister died in Scotland, the other I don't think married. The sister that did marry was Annie Rennie she married Archibald Fletcher McQuarrie but they didn't marry until 1918 in Glasgow. Although Annie died in Burlington Ontario Canada on 6th December 1976. So that is a Canadian connection. |

Check out this site. It's the Canadian version of CWGC. There's a nice photo of him along with Ronald McKinnon. They were both killed at Vimy Ridge, April 9-10, 1917. |

I am trying to trace what happened to James Rennie born circa 1894 in Rothesay, Isle of Bute. His parents were Robert Rennie and Jeannie Boden. According to a record I found in someone's tree he died on 9th April 1917 Vimy Ridge France. I can't find a trace of his death. Have I overlooked something? Can anyone help me please? |
