n to take it back to 1st page.

Thank you Sue. :-D


Amanda, thanks for your kind offer but it may be best to get a bit more evidence first.. Would hate you to waste money............ :-)


Haven't done anything on here today as been hithering and thithering. Hope to settle down to it this week though.

Very grateful for all efforts. :-D

Have been looking at a Leslie at the National Archives today - Allan Charles Malcolm Leslie. He was an officer in the Gordon Highlanders and had a very complicated private life! A very wealthy family too - his father may have been born in Scotland but Allan and family lived in Sussex and London. He married in 1908 - have all the info, and divorced and remarried in the 1930's - again have looked at the divorce files. Haven't found whether he served in India (I think not), although he was in South Africa and was in the Army at the relevant time. Can't find any evidence of course, about him fathering a child though and haven't found any connection to Stornoway.

haven´t heard anything from Evelyn lately.
Anyone know if she´s OK?

Has any Scotland Wiils been looked over?

In-coming UK passgener lists?

Thanks Annie......on her marriage certificate ,in 1930 Diane states that her father is deceased so probably no connection. You're lucky to have been able to get to the NA though. I find their website quite difficult.


Wisechild, Evelyn is fine. She has told me that she is reading this thread but cannot reply at the moment.


Hi Kay, I would have to remind myself about any Scottish wills.....but I know that the passenger lists have been well and truly combed for all sorts of combinations of name - it's all somewhere on here. However, if anything new has been added recently, it may be worth taking another look.


The thing is, it's so easy to forget what has and what has not been done in the last 4 years. This is why I am trying to get some salient points together.


I am tired of hitting constant brickwalls re Evelyn's baptism. At the moment, we have absolutely no ideas as to where it took place.


FBG - in one of her awake moments ( ;-) commented recently that it doesn't hurt to go over things again because she isn't perfect!! I love that.......must type it twice......she isn't perfect! :-D :-D

Cynthia,

How old was Diane supposed to be on her marriage cert please.

Applying a bit of lateral thinking here. ;-)
Has anybody made any enquiries from the Macleod clan historians?

Anything is worth a try.

I presume Evelyn has a copy of her mother's marriage cert - I am just trying some (more) lateral thinking, can you recall when and where it was - was it a parish register or a register office?

Thanks
