Gadget I wouldn't know where to start, this woman has been a nightmare !Quite disreputable actually, not at all the fantasy handed down through the family which is what makes the research so interesting !! Luckily all those close to her are long dead so there's no-one to upset with the truth and we, her great-grandchildren, have a different outlook - sometimes we're amused and other times horrified. I suppose there's nothing unusual in this, many families probably have sanitised historys.
The only thing I have left to clarify is her claim to have travelled to the US in 1919, it does make sense but the earliest manifests/border crossings/entry applications I've found have started in March 1920.I'm hoping the LDS centre in Edinburgh might come up with something. What the will clarified was that he left nothing to his daughter, which didn't surprise me but did make me feel sad for my granny as he had plenty to leave, even one of his properties would have been something and would have recognised her as his legitimate offspring - but there you go !
