• Administrative / Biographical History

  Patrick Sandeman was born in 1862 and died in the late 1940s or early 1950s. He was an elder of the Glasite Church in Glasgow c 1920s until his death. He had three children:Patrick Sandeman (son) who married May and lived in Bearsden then moved to Eastbourne on his retiral; Norah Sandeman a cellist at the Halle Orchestra and Margaret Sandeman (grandmother of depositor) married Archibald Ross Baxter and lived at Dunvegan and died c1946.
  His great grandaughter, Jane, says: 'Patrick Sandeman was my great grandfather (down maternal line) I think he lived until late '40s or early '50s. He had 3 children Patrick Sandeman who married May - lived in Bearsden then moved to Eastbourne on retiral. NO children. I think he died in the '80s or early '90s, can't quite remember. Norah Sandeman - cellist at the Halle Orchestra. Never married. No children. Died c 1982. Margaret Sandeman (my grandmother) married Archibald Ross Baxter and lived at 20 Canniesburn Road Dunvegan died c1946 3 children Alison Margaret Baxter 1925 to 2009, Mary Ross Baxter 1927 still living Phyllis Patricia Baxter (my mother) still living. Patrick Sandeman had a brother called Archibald who Mum thinks wasn't very involved in the church. He was married to Muriel Sandeman (artist). I'm not so familiar with their family but they had a son who married a Frenchwoman and they had 2 children called Norman and Armelle Sandeman. I think they had more children but not so sure who they were. The family tree will clarify. There were lots of spinster aunts, perhaps some uncles who also never married. Dorothy and Helen, Peggy and Jean, Connie are some that immediately spring to mind - a mixture of Sandemans and Baxters. Rhoda Philip lived in Dundee at 17 Chalmers Street, the house in which she was born. She was a cousin of my grandparents but I'm not sure exactly the connections. The family tree has lots of crossings in it because a lot of cousins married and I am aware that my grandparents were 1st cousins as were my great grandparents I think and there, 2 brothers married 2 sisters.'
  The Glasite church was a Christian sect founded in about 1730 in Scotland by John Glas. His views were aided in its expansion by his son in law Robert Sandeman who helped establish churches in England and the United States of America where they can be known as Sandemanian rather than Glasite churches.
