Hi and Welcome to Rootscaht, Tanapopo 

You say who your grandmother  was  but don't mention who your grandfather was or give any approx ages. Was this your grandmother's maiden name or did she marrysomeone with that surname?

Following on from what Pam has found,  and taking it as a maiden name, the Scotlands People site  show  5 marriages of a person with that name  Scotland in 1904-1931:

1904 in Holm and Palplay, Orkney
1920  in St Giles, Edinburgh
1921  in Kirkwall, Orkney
1929  in Dunfermline, Fife
1931 in Leith North, Edinburgh


Also, to find if your mother had any brothers or sisters, we'd need to know the approx date and name. However, it's Rootschat's policy to not mention names of living people on the public boards.

Best regards

Thank you everybody . I asked my older brother if he can help me he said that she is still alive and has had many children But still would not tell me anything after . I only have herd of a few of my aunt and uncal s names. I can`t remember any more but my mum said lot`s of names so the woman  has had many children.  I will check the links now thank you GAdget, Steve and Pam

Hi again

If she is still alive, we can't really do much more on on this public thread. However, if her birth name is as stated and in Orkney, there are two possible births showing on the Scotlands People site in 1913 and 1929 -

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk


None of the other names that you mentioned are listed in Orkney.

You should really try to obtain your mother's birth certificate and work back from that. I assume you know her approximate age/place of birth.

My mum was born on the black isle but she was later adopted. But the biological mother name is known and she was in orkeny.  thanks you for helping me again Gadget.

Because of the involvement of living people's names, I've sent you a personal message. I might have found a possible grandmother, b. Stromness, Orkney.
