McWhinnie cousin
Mary Alice was my cousin. I am Barbara Ann Hendricks-Healey. My mother was Barbara Pauline McWhinnie. Her father (my grandfather) was Edward McWhinnie (birth certificate states McWhinney) was born 8/29/1868 in Bolton, Lancs., England. Father's name: Patrick McWhinney. Mother: Johanna Cunningham McWhinney. My grandparents were married 2/18/1915 in Boston & lists Edward residing in Waltham,MA-age 45, Steam Engineer, & Barbara A. Joyce of Boston, age 27, Housework. They settles in Fall River, MA.
As a child, we use to get the "family" letters that Mary Alica would write regarding her time in Antarctica and being on the research ship. I also remember once we saw her on the show, "To Tell the Truth.
Would like to learn more regarding our other McWhinnie cousins. You can reach me at Barbara3821@aol.com
