There was a son to that couple. Does that ring a bell?
The wife's name is most unusual - I believe someone has her in their tree. She was born Scotland.

I'll bet this posting came as a shock to Kathleen

A perfect illustration of the danger of posting without considering the consequences, or the feelings of other people

kathleen, Welcome to the boards, I see this may have come as a shock to you,

Could i suggest that you contact scottishgirl by PM (private message)

She has not returned to this thread for a couple of weeks now and may not in future?

If you click on the purple send message button on her post then send her a message,

That way even if she does not return to this thread she will get a automated email to say she has a message on GR

Good luck

Roy
