1891/1901 census look up
« on: Saturday 10 March 07 22:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi, bit of a stab in the dark this one, I wonder if anyone can help me to find Catherine Oswald born 1885 Scotland, father believed to be Douglas. Dont have any other info at all to help though I'm afraid.  :'(

Thanks in advance

Thanks Annie..

I dont think they are mine. Her dad was called douglas and she was born 1885...mmnn Need to see if I can dig up some more info on her to help my search. I remember seeing a newspaper clipping of her dying in Australia when I was little.

Thanks for trying. :-*

OOh on second thoughts...just noticed the mother had a K middle name..and something clicked

My Catherine was rumoured to have used the surname Kenny-Oswald but noone knew why!! Could be onto something!!
