I think this might be the death of sister:
MARY CATHERINE ROSS
Age 30
Mother's maiden name THOM
1931
685/1 198
Haymarket
No second surname, so likely unmarried at the time of her death.

Sandra, I have found an Ancestry tree for the family of Helen Ross and Walter French. I have sent a message so fingers crossed ;)

Thank You. Response from family trees has been poor of late. Perhaps they think they are not a nearer enough relative.

Hello there,
I'm the great grand niece of Douglas Ogilvie Ross (great grandaughter of his brother, John Francis Ross).
I'm sorry that I've only come across this now. Is there anything I can do or need to do?
With thanks for any assistance you can offer.
Kind regards,
Janine
