Really good hunting there..Well done and as Cyn says its certainly our Jean Annabella......So where is she in 1911.....Grrrrrrr

So now for another go at finding her on 1911 Scotland or England...

If I can stay awake long enough to search as been rather busy doing Navvy work again...My word but concrete mixing and laying gets harder to do as you get older....Ad NO Cynthiaaaaa,I am still not as old as YOU.. :-D

Not far off though!

Should you really be laying concrete at your age and in your physical condition? :-P

Just a thought

Any one got access to Mitchell Library Glasgow as they have poor relief records on line .

Diane may have been orphaned /abandoned and placed with a family in Stornaway and who knows what they might have told her re her parents

Kathy

Jansmith
have you just found a EUREKA moment

could this be the connection to Goddard Fennwick


Wake up FBG and Cynthia and have a look at this

There was a Female Industrial school in Stornoway .I do not know when it closed down but there is a picture of it in 1905

The Female Industrial School on Stornoway's Keith Street was opened to wide acclaim in 1849. Built the previous year by Sir James and Lady Matheson, the school was dedicated to the education of the poor and was to provide a place of learning for the island's young girls.

Quoy, hope it might help BUT i am sure someone will say it has already been looked at!!

Good morning Jansmith

I am sure Jean Macleod has only just been looked at

everything crossed lets hope it is her

Good heaven's what time do you lot get up at all? :-D

I'm actually at my voluntary job but it's quiet at the mo so thought I would check in.

I really like the look of that marriage Quoy. I know we checked out a MacLeod/Fenwick marriage, (link on precis) but can't remember this one.

No hope of Fans at the moment........twill be midday before she surfaces!


We will return!

Last evening we had an island wide power cut and the internet was down for most of the evening, looks like I have a lot of reading to do.
Had rather a stressful night with Ron, his breathing is very bad at the moment, he is sleeping peacefully at the moment so must get some housework done while I have the chance.
Thank you everyone for all your help
Love to all
Evelyn X <3

Bugger the housework it will still be there tomorrow

You have a rest
