I have a theory
I am sure in the thread somewhere it say's that Diane was a nurse !!

Going with John Leslie Macleod 1911 Census

1911 census - household transcription
Person: MACLEOD, Douglas Hamilton
Address: 70b Ladbroke Grove
MACLEOD, Charles Edward AlexanderHead Married 12 years M
43 1868 Surgeon Brindisi Italy
MACLEOD, Edith Ann Wife Married 12 years F 37 1874 Twickenham Middlesex
MACLEOD, Alexander Cameron Son
M 11 1900 Scholar Notting Hill London
MACLEOD, Douglas Hamilton Son M 9 1902 Scholar Notting Hill London
MACLEOD, John Leslie Son M 7 1904 Scholar Notting Hill London
MACLEOD, Muriel Edith Daughter F 2 1909 Notting Hill London
KING, Amy Gartried Domestic Nurse Single F 24

We see that Amy King ia a nurse I am presuming for the children
John Leslie born 1904
then a gap of 5 years before Muriel 1909
What if Diane's mother was the nurse for John Leslie
Diane born 1906

Now living not too far away is Charles Edward Macleod's brother

1911 Census

MACLEOD, Roderick Alexander Head Married M 41 1870 Doctor Of Medicine India VIEW
MACLEOD, Florence Wife Married
20 years F 38 1873 London VIEW
MCLEAY, William Husband Of House Keeper Married M 35 1876 Porter London VIEW
MCLEAY, Beatrice Maud Housekeeper Married F 29 1882 House-Keeper Norwich VIEW
RG number:
RG14 Piece:
457 Reference:
RG14PN457 RG78PN15 RD5 SD2 ED25 SN559

Registration District:
St George Sub District:
Belgrave Enumeration District:
25 Parish:
St George Hanover Square

Address:
93 Charlwood St Pimlico S W County:
London



as you can see they do not have children and Roderick was born in India
going back to 1881 Census of the 2 brothers Charles and Roderick we have them with their sister Annie D M Macleod
wouldn't it be delicious if Annie's middle name is Diane

Alexander Macleod 62 Physician surgeon major Isle of Skye
Charles E. Macleod 13
Ewan C. Macleod 12
Roderick Macleod 11
Annie D.M. Macleod 10 born 1871
Mary North 24
Sarah Howells 36
Sarah A. Howells 11

so my theory is Diane's mum is nurse to Charles's children she gets pregnant by either Charles or Roderick either one of them could settle money on her
Or was Annie D M Macleod Diane's mother

NAME:
Annie D M Macleod
BIRTH:
abt 1872
DEATH:
Mar 1961 - Liverpool South, Lancashire, England



or have I not only thought outside the box
but the box has disappeared

son

Its a very comprehensive family tree

Really don't think this a branch to follow as none of the children seems to have got married & no Robert - never mind it was worth a try

Not having much luck finding Kenneth in 1891.

Wonder why two of his sisters ended up in Edinburgh?


Name: Wilhelmina H Macleod
Age: 27
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874
Relationship: Serv (Servant)
Gender: Female
Where born: Skerray, Sutherlandshire
Registration Number: 685/5
Registration district: Newington
Civil parish: Edinburgh Mayfield
County: Midlothian
Address: 32 Mayfield Terrace
Occupation: Cook
ED: 81
Household schedule number: 79
Line: 10
Roll: CSSCT1901_388
Household Members:
Name Age
David Kirk 60 Living on own means
Wilhelmina H Macleod 27 b Skerray Sutherlandshire
Euphemia Macleod 20. b Island of Eigg Invernesshire Dom Serv

Their birth places match previous census info.

In previous census' David Kirk is a grocer & merchant

Interestingly there is a probate record for Wilhelmina in 1938 giving the same address and she has Kirk in her name.


Name: Williamina Kirk Humphrey Macleod
Probate Date: 22 Apr 1938
Death Date: 9 Feb 1938
Death Place: Edinburgh, Scotland
Registry: London

It says " confirmation of Euphemia Macleod" so presumably Euphemia was still alive in 1938.

Anyone able to find them in 1911 to see if they have a stray child with them?!

Edit Deleted 1901 info for Kenneth as FBG already posted it below.


Sure I've seen the Bannatyne name elsewhere on my trawls around the Macleods.

Off to see if I can find Kenneth in 1891.

MACLEOD, Kenneth (1871-1955).
During his long life the Rev. Kenneth Macleod was in contact with most of the
well-known names in the Gaelic literary world, but perhaps he is best known as the Gaelic collaborator of Marjory Kennedy-Fraser.

Rev Dr Kenneth MacLeod, onetime of Eigg and Gigha,

Just popping in briefly........ Haven't looked in census yet but googling Rev Kenneth Macleod + road to the isles gives snippets of info. Poss born isle of Eigg and father was a schoolteacher. That's all I have for now.

I guess the new MacLeods mentioned all need checking but, I am pretty sure that Fans investigated the Robert who died in Liverpool and sent for his death cert. It's way back on this thread somewhere but I will ask her to confirm.


That John Leslie MacLeod looks interesting because of the name Leslie in the middle???
