Woody.
No idea until Scotlands 1911 census comes out as she was born circa 1906,but maybe Stornoway area,if she is on it.Havent found her anywhere else yet.
Dont ask,its a long long story as Frank and many others know...

I've found Lily Ham's birth and have added the info to the thread that Janey quoted, just to save anyone else looking.
Her father (Charles Ham) was a Coastguard, mother Eliza Bartlett and they were married in Devonshire on 5th July 1892. Can't make out the place, it looks like Rill or Poll. Perhaps Poole?

That sounds interesting! If you think I can help, do let me know or if you have a post on here about her then let me know the link and I'll read up on it.
My sister actually lives in Stornoway and I had a look in the library whilst there. They have a lot of old record books and I believe there's a heritage society as well.
What's her name and I can tell you the Gaelic equivalent?

Oh Lordy!!! A MacLeod as well! There are nearly as many MacLeods in Stornoway as there are Campbells in Skye!
Okay, will have a look and I'll read it all - and then probably pm a really stupid question!

Glutton for punishment, that's me, Sylvia!! I'll get my own back - I have missing Smiths in Wales! Where's the evil emoticon?!

Fanny, I'll pm my email address, might be easier!! I've also added to the thread so I can find my way back to it tomorrow.
I won't be around till about 4pm tomorrow but available all weekend so will pop along to Fort George just in case anything has been added to their museum. They encourage people to donate items, slim chance but always worth a try.
They have free access this weekend so might as well use it!

This isn't a lookup thread.....it should have been deleted when the HELP CLINIC was abandoned.

I've looked on Ancestry - there is NO death for the name in 1963 +/- 2 years.

If you want help..... you need to start your own thread.............

Julie -- how to do your own thread, since you asked. ;)

First click on Trying to Find over on the left.
Then click on Remove this Filter up above where Trying to Find is on the left.
Then click on Add Topic, and the page will open for starting a thread.
Read the guidance there carefully (if you don't see it, click on "How to get a fast and accurate response" in the upper right).
Make your subject line informative -- a full name, date and place if possible.
Put only one surname in the surname line (no one will see that; all it does is put your post on the "surname board" in question as well as the complete board).
When you're done, click Submit.
Then repeat steps one and two to see your post as it appears on the board, and click on it to check it over.
You will be able to find it anytime by clicking on "My thread participation" on the left.

That should do it!
