Thanks for that, I couldn't find anything on her in there either. It just gets so frustrating not finding anything but I will keep searching.

Afraid there's no mention of the drowning on the 'The British NEWSPAPER Archive' either. That site is a work in progress so maybe something will appear in future updates.... regards John

Sure you have likely been through this too. Just adding the link for ref to the Watt Library Intimations 11:

Intimations II

The Watt Library Births, Marriages and Deaths index often lists the causes of death in the entries. On this page we have selected the major causes of death in the period 1800 to 1915 where they are considered to be out ot the ordinary, such as death by epidemic disease, murder, drownings, suicides and murders. We also list military deaths (including Army, Navy and Air Force casualties).

www.inverclyde.gov.uk/community-life-and-leisure/libraries/archives-local-history-and-heritage/family-history/intimations-ii

Had a look through the various databases but couldn't see anything for Euphemia unfortunately  :-\

Wow !! that is amazing lismore I am  so pleased,  you really are sensational. Thank you ever so much  for all the time and effort you have shown in trying to help solve this mystery of my Great, great grandmother. It really must of been horrendous finding the body as she had been missing since Christmas Eve 1900. I am over the moon that you found this newspaper article. I can't thank you enough.

Hi Gord Mc

You are very welcome, just wish it could have been more.
 I too had been searching for a relative who had drowned, but in Stornoway Harbour, Isle of Lewis, can be very emotional reading, when you find it.
