West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Tragic accident involving two sisters
« on: Monday 15 March 21 16:52 GMT (UK)  »
I am helping my sister-in-law with her Scottish and Irish ancestry; she remembers family stories about how two of her father's sisters were killed in a tragic accident on their way home from school.
In 1911 the family were living Armadale, Lanarkshire; Patrick and Mary Welsh and five young children.

We don't have a date or first names for the births and deaths of these two sisters unfortunately. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction for a newspaper report of the accident, and any other information please.

My researching  has been south of the border, Wales, England, Isle of Man, so I have no idea where to start in Scotland. ???

US Completed Requests / Reunite with school friend?
« on: Friday 28 August 20 16:03 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for either Thelma and her husband, or children of their marriage. We were school friends.
Thelma  was born 1940's Liverpool, England, and in 1950's married an American citizen  in Christ Church, Bootle, Liverpool.  Soon after they went to  Salt Lake, Utah.   I corresponded with her for a while but lost touch.
I am hoping someone can find Thelma, Richard or their children, if they had any; would love to be in  contact again.
Hopefully,
Glenys

Caernarvonshire / Summershill, Mountain Street, Carnarvon
« on: Saturday 11 February 17 15:08 GMT (UK)  »
I have a death certificate dated 1932, for my gt.aunt, Janet Ellen Owen nee Williams.
Her third husband Hugh Owen was in attendance, Summershill, Mountain St., Carnarvon. In 1927 they were at 5 Beulah Square.

I have tried to find Summerhill, Mountain St., but all the houses have numbers, no house names.
Was Summerhill a house?
