Hi Tiff, Found your Aletta born Kirkwall&St Ola 1914 died 9th Dec 1995
Verna Patricia born Kirkwall&StOla 1916 died 5th Oct 1997
So far havent found a birth for Ida but I have a death 2 Nov 2001
Found a birth for Thomas Anderson Shearer in Kirkwall&StOla 1918 and marriage 1937 but no death as yet

I have got the memorial inscriptions for Verna Patricia, Ida and Aletta with the spouses you mentioned, but there are references to people who have recently died so it may be better to send them by pm if you want them

No luck yet on their parents!

By the way, I have found out I have Stronsay Connections through the Shearers, Leslie,s Coopers and Brocks

I sent a reply to Tiffany some time ago re the Shearers of Stronsay. I have not heard from her. As it was the first message I put on this site, did I do it correctly?
