I'm glad someone has mentioned Margaret as a possibility. In the depths of my mind, I am sure I have heard this before but didn't want to be the one who suggested it because it sounds so unlikely.

Hi

I will try Margaret.  I had it in my head it could be Isobel - don't know why!
Like Andrea I just remember the name from the comic and annual!

Hi Barbara

I don't have much info yet.
She is the daughter of Alexander McDonald c1884 and Janet Johnston Thomson c 1886.
She was born  c1908 and died in glasgow.
She had siblings Elspeth, Lindsay, Davie.
Thats it really.

I had a school friend named Marilyn who was always known by the nickname of Bunty.  No idea why!!  ??? ???  If it is a nickname in the case of your Bunty, the real name could be anything really...  ::)

Hi MarieC

I think this family believed in not letting others know their real names.  Bunty's sister was Lindsay but she was known as Babs!? ???
