Hi Evelyn did Thomas ever manage to find any certificates that would help in the search?

Hello Folks,
well there has been no progress at all on this thread, I have now followed up all your suggestions all to no avail but that does not mean that I am not grateful for all your help.
You have all been so kind to me and I appreciate it very much, thank you.
No Tracey there has been no news from Thomas
I really dont think Dianes roots will ever be traced.
Kind regards to you all
Evelyn

Evelyn at least next year we will hopefully be able to track her down on the 1911 census, i'm sure there will be many of us hunting her down! Diane can't hide forever! I am sure she is illgitimate and changed her name to be what she was told was her fathers name, only time will tell.

Thank you Tracy

An ever hopeful nudge

April Nudge - as Evelyn not that well

keep trying .

could this be related in some way

1911 census - household transcription
Person: MCLEOD, Malcolm
Institution: 1st Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, 1ST BATTALION SEAFORTH HIGHLANDERS, CHAUBATTIA, INDIA
Military details: Sergeant 1st Battalion Seaforth Highlanders
MCLEOD, Malcolm Single ? 33 1878 Stornaway VIEW

That last one sounds so promising - hope Evelyn spots it - she is recouperating in France at the moment

Thank you Lady Kira, sadly I do not have 1911 census so I cannot persue the Malcolm Macleod thread, I wonder if he had siblings?

An ever hopeful nudge

There are several Malcolms in that regiment at the time. This is the oldest and highest ranked in 1911. Looking at the original in the box that says If absent on census night write Absent and for those in the United Kingdom specify wether in England Scotland Wales or Ireland it says


Absent Scotland. Scotland is crossed out in red and on board HM(?) Rewa England

And Evelyn That was the 1911 I posted.
