Will need to get SP credits to check 1911 Scotland as there are a few poss to say the least....

Death cert says he never married...Church of Scotland Minister (retired)

Tomorrow.
Too tired now..

~~~~~~~~~

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.

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

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?!

There is a Macleod family tree on Ancestry

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

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

MACLEOD, Edith Ann Wife Married 12 years F 37 1874 Twickenham Middlesex
MACLEOD, Alexander Cameron Son

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

Registration District:

Address:
93 Charlwood St Pimlico S W County:

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

So now we need to link Alexander Macleod to
Aunt Kate Donald and Ishbel

and find what the D stands for in Annie D M Macleod

Hmmmm Tarbat and Stornaway links.

Also found it interesting on FreeBMD to search Macleod and Wandsworth all types. A few interesting names right around the entry for Diane's marriage.

Diminima? Where DO people get these names from?


I know what you mean LK - everywhichway we turn, there seems to be a tenuous link but nothing concrete - as yet!


Oh for a breakthrough so that we can see light at the end of this very long tunnel.......sigh..... :-S

from the Macleod website

17 Apr 1996 – Annie Di Minima (Minnie), born 2nd November 1871 at Nottingham, became a Roman Catholic nun (Mother Winifred) in 1894. .
She died at Bellerive Convent F.C.J. Princes Park, Liverpool, on 18th January 1961, aged 89 years.

Not another nun!!!!

A couple of the Goddard-Fenwicks became nuns!


I remember the name Bellerive from when I lived in Liverpool.

This thread is making the world a smaller place!

Johanna "McLeods" birth cert says that Alexander McLeod (fisherman)and Christina Graham were married in Back Stornoway on January 1st 1896.

Marriage cert says.
Alexander Macleods parents
Donald Macleod ..(crofter deceased)
Anne (nee Macinnon??)

Christinas parents

Alexander? Graham...Crofter
Margaret MaCrea?

Thank you everyone for working so hard on my behalf, sadly at the moment my life has been taken over by the big C, Ron my husband needs my support and all my time seems to be taken up with this. We have a wonderful Oncology unit here on the island and we are very grateful for that.
The treatment Ron is receiving is second to none but we do know that there is no cure for him just buying some time.
Heartfelt thanks to you all your help means a lot to me
Love to you all
