no i didnt tomorrow will be another day of discovery - a clairvoyant recently told me i would write a book about a very well dressed remarkable victorian lady in my family i just chuckled most unlikely i said,  although i love history and then i remembered my late grandmother writing about an usual lady called Emma Knight who'd travelled to Russia and i was  fascinated - i only started my research last week but i just cant believe what your sharing with me i feel privileged to try and write her account i only wish i had a photograph of her but still you cant have everything! Fascinating that she'd met royalty and was true to herself  as always, a loyal, modest discreet little lady.

John Hugh Roos also born in Inverness Scotland

I'm not finding a John Hugh but there's a few named John.

Does it state on the census Inverness or Inverness, Inverness-shire or Inverness-shire?
