I wont give up yet,nowhere near it,not after waiting this flipping long...

Just need to try and think about this as there has to be a way to find SOMETHING on her....

But frustratingly there is no Army dept(overseas military),which I would have gone for to search for a lead on her "possible" father...

Diane Leslie Macleod
Born India or Scotland in June 1906?
Possible father as per her marriage cert ...Robert Macleod...Seaforth Highlanders...
School in Stornoway.
Aunt Kate/Catherine/Kathleen and cousins Ishbel and Donald

Wiping Viv's brow with damp cloth. Making yet another cup of tea (adding a little something but don't tell her). There there.....


Under her second name? Lesley instead of Leslie?

Mistranscription anywhere?


Joy

Joy Report 5 Apr 2011 13:03

Is she there?

FannyByGaslight

FannyByGaslight Report 5 Apr 2011 13:08

Been there with the Leslie/Lesleys Cynth....

Break time and regroup after email to SP re the overseas military...

Evelyn

Evelyn Report 5 Apr 2011 13:09

Mother ALWAYS insisted her name was spelt
Diane Leslie Macleod, I have always wondered if Leslie was her mothers maiden name as it is a Scottish surname

One of my christian names is Kathleen, I dont know if that is relevent

Now waiting for a reply from SP about overseas military....

Others are having lots of bother finding people on Scotland 1911 as well Evelyn.....So we just keep at it.
But I will wait to get the reply to my email SP (and that may be tomorrow)before I check any more entries.

I still have plenty left but dont want to waste them,hence waiting for a reply to my email..

Me too Sylvia, but it seems Diane remains hidden.
I wonder if that was her real name or just something she assumed for some reason.
Tracing her is becomming almost impossible
