looking on Scotland's people I put in
D Mcleod 1897 1898 there is 1 anybody with credits ?

Hope that poke in the eye didn't hurt you too much Quoy :-D


Vanessa, I'm pretty sure that the possibility of the word Major being a name rather than an actual rank in this instance, hasn't been explored. Maybe worth looking at - I have relatives with the Christian name Major in my tree.


Quoy, will ask Fans about your D M Leod.

Cynthia
I have a few credits left for SP let me know if you want that one checked out and I will have a look

Hello Linda

please look


cause I cannot wait

Thanks Linda - please put Quoy out of her misery........ ;-)



Forgot to say that yesterday, I googled around and found somewhere to place free ads in newspapers both in Scotland and in London. Have given it a go - nothing ventured etc. etc. etc., :-)

Quoy have sent you a PM

Linda
i am such a plonker I tried again and it ia a death not birth

I will try and narrow it down more

no problem just let me know if you need anything else checked on SP.

There were 2 births in Stornoway for 1897-1898 but do we now think she was born in Stornoway?

any birth is a welcome sign and worth looking at
I do not know if those births have been looked at but they are worth a try

1901 has this family been followed?

Is a London Gazette entry which is free to search online. No need to pay a site like that one to obtain it. There's an entry in the London Gazette of 1/6/1917 for a Robert Macleod T/Lt, formerly Seaforth Highlanders. I think AGES ago I looked at all the surviving R Macleod Officers files at Kew and found nothing which fit "our Robert". So, that would mean, I suppose, that either his file hasn't survived, or he served after 1922, in which case his records should still be with the MOD, and we'd need to prove his death to get hold of copies from them, which of course we can't do.

There´s an entry on Anc. Campaign medals for what must be the same chap,because the details are similar.
Only problem is I can´t remember which campaign it was.
Senility gallops on.

PS. Anybody know anything about Christina Hellen MacLeod that I posted yesterday?

re the births on SP one is 1897 and the other is 1898 as both are for a female named Donaldina I have a strange feeling that for some reason it has been recorded twice.

Cynthia before I use any credits on SP can you let me know if these have been checked before and if not and you want them checked let me know and I will look at them both

Linda
I had someone in Scots BMD :-D) very kindly look up all Donaldinas and other sorts ...He spent a lot of lunch hours searching for any possible for her between 1899 and 1910 that I put his way and found nowt.
But of course I/he may have missed THAT elusive one that may have been her..

Back along on this thread are LOADS of poss births that I posted at the time from SP and I know that what I did not check at that time on SP itself then he did in the office...
I have also followed up most of ,if not all,the possibles for a Donaldina or any other name of illegit births in Scotland.
India and Egypt I have had no luck in finding anything at all though..

Hope that helps
Fans..

I can not remember if that family has been followed or not Jan...

I nearly lost the will to live at one time and had to take a break from this,although it is still on my mind a lot as I would love ANYONE to find the blasted woman for Ev
xx

Quoy.
The marriage for Deyes.
Marriages Mar 1891
Deyes John William Hull 9d 349
Robertson Mary Hull 9d 349

That will take a while to work on as Robertson is even more popular than Macleod/McLeod in Scotland..
:-D

Wisechild
Christina Hellen Macleod aged 27=Pass.

Another "cant remember"sorry....

And I have some way to catch Ev up age wise too and my memory is well on its way out.. :-D

Spect its on here somewhere..

But just the thought of trawling the thread AGAIN makes me go all strange....Must go for a lie down now ;-)

Shut it Cynf. :-P

(just to add, a member called Brenda has J W Deyes in Search Trees here)
