Hello Beth:
Do you, or anyone else, have any idea on how I can find the Scottish
Marriage Register and the electoral rolls on the internet?
I've thought about an advert in the Glasgow papers. However, I don't know
Aunt Edith's reason for not remaining in Canada. If it's a personal one,
I would never in a million years want to bring embarrassment to her or to
her son, my cousin. I do know she did receive a very very warm welcome from
my grandmother (her mother-in-law) and my Mom. I know they exchanged
letters for a few years after she left Canada.
