I am finally retired and can now spend time on my tree....and am picking up where I left off some while back where in fact I gave up!! What an admittance!
I have had such difficulty trying to find this lady who is my GGmother and having moved to Scotland and finding out that both my mothers parents came from here.
I so want to find my GGmother and intend to visit Invergordon which is where my mother said she came from. Apparently she moved down from there to York, speaking only Gaelic, and worked at the Royal York Station hotel when she met my GGfather Henry William Palfreeman.
They married 27 Dec 1876 and she was 24 years old he was 25.
Her father is called Peter Rofs and was a tailor, and am then wanting to try and find him and his relatives...
I previously searched and found details of several but this time round I cannot seem to find anything close, there are so many Isabellas or variations. I have no address for her or parents, I do not know Mum's name.
Her signature on the MC isnt Rofs but looks like Roso ??
Can anyone give me any leads please??
Thank you!
would it help giving you the names of their children as think most named after their parents/brothers/sisters etc... Hephzibah Pool, Margaret A, Isabel, Jessie, John, Lily, Sophie B, James Ross, George Henry, Francis Ross, ( me Mum said they had 13 but only found 10)
