Norah, re: my post at 5 Jul 2013 19:02 - what research have you done yourself?

If you go into your own account you'll see you have the facility to add information to a research line. Those of us who are regular helpers on the boards can be inundated with personal messages from people which should really be added to the thread, hence we use the research line to try to avoid those situations.

Norah

The helpers on this site are usually not related to the person they are trying to help so sometimes we put please do not send messages as we are not related.

Such as I have in my research box see below my posting

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

Hello Norah, welcome to the boards - have you looked for a possible remarriage for her, or found her on the Scottish 1911 census, on Scotland's People?

Margaret was m. to John Silver McDonald in 1883 in Edinburgh. Can not find her after 1901 census as housekeeper in Edin. Her children were all farmed out to relatives when John died in 1897. I think as she was born in Duirinish, Skye, that she spoke the Gaelic, that she would have had trouble finding a job where she could keep the children. Did she marry again ??
