Hi Michael  :)

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

Have you had a look at her birth entry to confirm her parents' details? It shows on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk as Margaret Kitche (no more room on index) Forbes, 1915, Caputh Perthshire.

Her marriage to Neil Menzies shows in 1945 in Clunie Perthshire. It is too recent to view online and would need to be ordered (75 yr closure for marriages, so will be available online next year).

She looks to have died in 1981 in Perth. Mother's surname also indexed as Menzies (again, death would need to be ordered due to 50 yr closure for online access on deaths).

Thanks Monica:-) I am starting from the name Margaret Kitchener Forbes as someone my mother might be connected to. I don't know anything else about her. When I searched for the name I came up with the one you found in 1915 in Perthshire. Since that is the only match I found anywhere, it seemed like this might be the person, since the dates match.

I want to find out, and I know it is a long shot, is if she might have worked in Elstree, London in about 1938.
