« on: Saturday 30 August 14 00:15 BST (UK) »
I have  found an anscestor Elizabeth McLeish married Alexander Stevenson 1900 in Leith,Edinburgh.I have spent so much on scotlandspeople trying to find her on 1901/1911 census or her death in Scotland but cant find them.I tried ellis island to see if they emigrated but nothing there either.She signed on her sisters death cert in 1918 .any kind soul that can help would be great.
