This one also appears to have died in 1943 so not the correct one if Diane's marriage certificate is accurate ( I think her father was deceased? )

On mothers marriage cert, it says Robert Macleod, Major Seaforth Highlanders, deceased. Her marriage was 1929. That Robert had sounded so hopeful, thats a shame but thank you all for your help

Let's just keep him tucked aside for awhile in case Diane got it wrong!

Jan - RLR Macleod was a surgeon captain in 1895 - he might have been a major later - can't remember why I thought he was 'acting' colonel but I think I read it somewhere.

Going back to the Seaforth Highlanders ' Major' can be applied to Pipers in the regimental band so that might be worth considering.

Diane told some whoppers in her time so dont discount anything, though that information was on the marriage cert, I have seen it, though no doubt the information would have been given by her so who knows. Neither do I know if Diane had any siblings though she never mentioned any.
Thank you for your interest.
Her Leslie spelt that way has always made me wonder if that was her mothers maiden name, though as she never mentioned her mother I will probably never know

Happy Christmas

Seasons Greetings to everyone that has helped me,or should I say Evelyn,s little helpers. I am grateful to each and everyone of you, bless you all.

To cheer me up whilst we search for Diane and family my friend Vivienne has sent me a photo of the delightful Ishbel, so at the moment I am a very happy bunny

Give us a clue Diane

Did we find the passenger list for the Canada side of the problem?
Evelyn - pop his details here and I will see if I can find anything -

Robert Roy born Hanover sq. London 1883
1901 was shop assistant
Believed to have gone to Canada

1891 Census - could it be
Son of George (34) & Sophia (37) Brothers George (12) John (5) sisters Edith (10) Elizabeth (2) Rosetta (3 mths)

If it was him - he was still in Kensington for 1901 census with his family - there are a few others - any other info?

I don't have access to people leaving the UK only arrivals - so not a lot of help - but I will keep on looking

Silly place to go Canada,its full of Canadians and cold in winter I am told.

About when is he supposed to have gone there?I have passenger lists.
