Im amazed and truly grateful for all of your help.  This is like another language to me. I've just only managed to work out how to get back to the main post 😕
You have made an old woman very happy im sure. I will fill her in on all of your wonderful information when i see her tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Wow 😮 im impressed. You are very knowledgeable in thelis field. Its hard piecing together the bits that an elderly lady can remember.
This is my friend's grandfather as i remember she said thats where he was born...
27 August 1870: William Mathew Cloonan, son of William Cloonan and Helen Docherty, born at Macroom, County Cork, Ireland.
Im excited to talk to her tomorrow 😀

Hi, I have an elderly friend here in Australia.
She was born in Edinburgh 1926 , She dearly wants to find her relatives , Ian & Patrick McLaren ( also from Edinbrugh)
William Matthew Cloonan was her Grandfather. She fondly remember him & tells me stories of the royal mile & Holyrood house/ Palace. She had 1 sibling, a brother billy i think.
She joined the navy young, was injured in malta during the war, leaving her profoundly deaf.
She married a scotsman(1949 Service Returns) & had 2 children.
She, her hubby & her parents all came to Australia many yrs ago..& her grandfather too...i think
Aussiegirl may be interested as well as Joyous57.
Any help would be appreciated as time is of the essence.
I would dearly love to give her some news.

Edited , living person.
