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?

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...

There are 3 entries with the name Diane...No Macleods
ADAMSON DIANE F 9 LEITH SOUTH EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN

COUPER DIANE ROSS F 11 PORTOBELLO EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN

SIMPSON DIANE E F 1 FOVERAN /ABERDEEN

Of an age to be her maybe but not the correct surname...These I will look at in a while.

And 3 Diana.With surname Mcleod..

MCLEOD DIANA F 21 REAY /CAITHNESS
MCLEOD DIANA F 32 COIGACH /ROSS AND CROMARTY
MCLOAD DIANA F 42 WICK /CAITHNESS

All too old to be her.

She is NOT with Barabel and family...That one I have looked at and a couple of others....

There is nowhere to put her place of birth in the search engine and is rather limited as all SPs searches are as to searching...

I may be gone some time...
