He died 12/10/1916 aged 21
He was the son of Rev. Donald and Mrs Kate Macleod of Tarbat Ross-shire and was obviously uncle to this child.

I wonder if the I stands for Isles.

O K Ishbel lets leave Vivienne to her work, lets you and I go for a walk

IM BUSY,and if your not careful I shall send Ishbel to lick you to death.

nudge

Vivienne I dont know what I would do without you, are you sure I am not your older sister?
kind regards
Evelyn

Groans more..........

I will return to scotlandspeople and try to find marriages for some of the others,although I do think I have done that before and will have to go through this thread to look to make sure,and my records on SP.
OR
Look in my hundredweight of written notes on the family of Ishbel.

But it will have to be in a couple of days as work has been piling up and I need to clear some.
We really need 1911 Scotland,but another 2 yrs to wait it seems.

Vivienne I have spent holidays in Scotland, my son lives there.
He took me to the large registery house in Edinburgh, we spent 2 days there, we also went to Fort George in Inverness, to the Seaforth Highlanders museum there, it was all very interesting but not of much help to me.Viv I still feel that you found the right family with Donald and Kate from Tarbat but I dont know how to follow it up from there, I know Ishbel was not a good lead for us as she had no children which was a shame, I wonder what happened to Donald junior.
I hope your Ishbel is behaving herself, I am glad you like the name see we do have something in common as well as screaming when we hear the name Macleod.

Cynthia,
I know where I put her I just dont know where I found her, she was only 4ft 10 inches tall but has sure caused me a lot of problems., maybe something will crop up one day.
Really I still feel that Viv found the right family with Kate and Donald, they had Ishbel and Donald as children among many others but we never seemed to be able to trace any of them except Ishbel and she had no issue.
Bye for now
Evelyn

I know where I would like to put evelyns mother,but I cant tell you on here or I may get reported.

I have even asked her to visit me in my dreams and give me a clue,she wont even show up there the ***bleep bleep ** woman.

Going to look for John Davies born in cardiganshire 1848 to John and Ann davies {farmers }AGAIN ,might have more luck this time.

It surley must be easier than Macleods anyway.

Oh you had a mother alright Evelyn, you just don't know where you've put her!!



~~~~waves to Viv.

Good luck with the new computer Viv.,I hope I will soon get used to mine, its difficult when you cant get on the internet though. Bad thunder storms have cancelled out the wifi in this area until this evening,judging by my headache I think the thunder may be on the way back, so Viv you may be lucky and find that I am absent again soon,I hope not as I like to be in touch. At the moment I am not sure I even had a mother!!!!
Evelyn .

Groan...........
Hello pest.

I got a new computer today,yippee.
This is my first try on it since the computer person finished and boy,,its different.
Lets hope this one doesnt keep turning itself off, sometimes that can be a godsend while on this thread,whoops, I meant a nuisance.

Waves to Cynthia.
viv

Hey Viv, wake up! She's back! Don't get up too fast though, we don't want you falling over.....again. :)

Hello Everyone,
Yes the pest is back, Wifi on the campsite was damaged in thunder and lightening, so I have been out of touch for a while, I will have a good read through and come back later.
Thank you all
Evelyn

At least when shes on holiday it gives us a rest from the hunt for the needle in a haystack for a while.

A couple of bottles of good french wine, or cognac even, wouldnt go amiss here in dark and wild west wales sometimes,help me to forget the flaming macleods for a while!!

Ahh well,cheap home made apple and pear will have to do.

Well, maybe the people on Ancestry are on holiday in France too!!!

I don't think Evelyn's mother was born under a gooseberry bush, I think she was brought by a stork but fell out somewhere along the way!!!


Just wait till she gets back........all she does on holiday is eat anyway.

Hi Cynthia

That woman spends more time in France than at home!!
Its alright for some.

I am doing my best,I started out with her on pretty much day one ,so I guess I will have to stick with it.

Ruddy people losing their mothers.I ask you?

I think I may have to take a holiday in the channel Islands and check up on all the work that shes not doing on it while on holiday ,soon!!

And I have never had replies from the people with Ishbel on their trees at Ancestry which makes me cross.
How hard is it to type a few words?


Maybe a holiday in Scotland instead of France??

Viv, Evelyn's on holiday at the mo. I think she will be in touch if she can get internet connection - she's a regular on Sue's help us to help you thread. It would be lovely if someone could actually find her mum for her wouldn't it?
