1st of May nudge

Not that I can find.

End of May nudge

Is itpossible to have a summary of what we already know as I have got quite lost.

How long you got and do you really need a headache?
I will post you the file I have on my shelf if you like LK,it hasnt got much in it I am afraid.
I really think this one will have to wait for the 1911 of Scotland to come out and then we pray we find her with a cousin called Ishbel and aunt Kate.

Come on Diane give us a clue, I am fast giving up on you

Nudge in case anyone can help

I now have my parents marriage cert and it states that mothers father Robert Macleod was , Major 1st Seaforth Highlanders and was deceased when they married in 1929, at least I know it was 1st Seaforth Highlanders, maybe that will help in the quest for my roots

OOH, there's an entry in the Probate Index for 1918 on Ancestry as follows

Robert Macleod of 14 Battery Park Stornaway died 7 Mar 1917 at Liverpool. Confirmation of Catherine Macleod Mackinnon widow. Sealed London 28 January.

Seems a strong possibility in view of the mention of Stornaway. There are a couple of others too - 1 with a Glasgow address (Robert Alexander), died1926 and 1 died Edinburgh in 1927 - this one was a Reverend, though.

You need to send for that Will then Evelyn I would say,I would not leave that stone unturned.

Ann.

It says he died in Stornoway on the Transcript and Liverpool on the image?

I can find no death for him on SP NOR on freebmd,can you?


Obits,where to find an obit for him?The Times?

Yes, I noticed the difference in the image and the transcript. I'd go by the image! There's a death at the right time in Liverpool - aged 58. Think the spelling of the surname is slighly different in the Deaths index.

OK got it thanks Ann.

Im sending for it Evelyn along with the Will...OK?

Hope you havent gone back to France quite yet..!

Edits..
That takes us back to born 1859 and that is one that does keep cropping up on all the things I and others have searched..

Fingers crossed...Again.

Thank you so much my friends for all your help.
Off to France tomorrow

Ann.
Do you think that Mackinnon was Catherines maiden name?

There is no marriage on SP for that duo,but if its likely I can trawl Overseas marriages on FMP.
I would have thought it would maybe have turned up on SPs service returns...but no..

Going out for a while,will do it later.

I think that just because it says Widow, it doesn't necessarily mean that she was HIS widow!

Nudge

Death sent for and I shall sort out the will tomorrow.

Fingers crossed..

Look forward to hearing about it!
