I can't find either of them in 1911, there is a Johanna Whitson in Edinburgh of the right age but she is with her parents so it's not the right one. Now that I look at it, their mother isn't anywhere in 1911...

I did find a possible Janet - will have to go and look back at my images. I did a search for a Bar* (4-7) with a Jo* and surname * in Midlothian and it came up with 4 possibles - one in Newington - surname Allan, I think.
I've not tried a Janet (variations) with a Ba* yet.

Thanks for looking Sandra
That sounds incredible gadget - I know that it is possible to do wild card things like this but it is beyond my abilities at the moment.

Do you know of any relatives that they might have stayed with or, sometimes, the Poor Houses used just initials. Sad.

Once, while doing a look up, I found a possible death registration with just the initials.

I'm going to work up the details of all of Janet's siblings and see if I can work out where everyone was. For some reason she has got under my skin and I want to record her, i get like this with people in my tree who were outsiders. The workhouse is a good thought, if sad.
