- !SOURCE: Email from Alan McGowen, Historian, Chess Scotland (www.ChessScotland.com, amcgowan@golden.net) to the Whipple Website, 11 Apr 2011. He writes:
Because of my involvement with chess history, I have an interest in David Lawson, author of Paul Morphy: The Pride and Sorrow of Chess, particularly because he was born in Glasgow.I have noted your very detailed web site on Whipple families, so I wanted to pass on a little information.I have attached the following 3 images obtained from the Scotlands People website:- Birth record 557 for Charles William Matthew Howie, born April 18th, 1886 at 20 Norfolk Street, Glasgow (Illegitimate). Mother: Nellie Howie, Fruit Saleswoman. Note the entry in the left margin re paternity.
- Register of Corrected Entries, dated October 13th, 1886 at Glasgow. Father's information to be inserted as Hison Payne Whipple (residing at 390 St. Vincent Street, Glasgow). Mother is referred to as Helen Howie.
- Birth record 652 for Helen Robertson Howie, born August 30th, 1868 at 28 South Tay Street, Dundee. (Your web page shows 1870.)
I have searched the Scotlands People web site for marriage details but can find nothing regarding a Howie/Whipple ceremony (you give 24 May 1885 in Glasgow).A 2010 edition of 'Paul Morphy: The Pride and Sorrow of Chess' was published by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Press, edited by a Thomas Aiello. Mr Aiello, on page xiv of his Editor's Introduction, refers to the parents, and states that Lawson '...apparently moved to the United States in 1893.' I mention this because it differs from information in your notes re sources, which mentions the mother and son arriving on the Anchoria in 1890. The book also refers to several marriages of David Lawson. Let me know if you wish any further information on these marriages.I hope this information helps in some small way.
