To Hazel Laird, and Flst

Was doing an online search on Margaret Stephen, and this thread popped up.

I know the thread is a few years old, but I was wondering if you were still looking for information on Margaret Stephen?

Thanks.
Brian

Hi and welcome to rootschat! Yes, this post is years old but I have not managed to find out what happened to Margaret's father! Any information you can add to this post will be appreciated. Are you connected to Margaret?

Thanks for the reply.
The story is, that I have been helping my 87 year old stepmother setting up a family tree, and she pulled out a box of old photos so I could scan and add to the tree.
Also in this box is a photo album of Margaret Stephens, that are of her time at Leslie, Oyne, and Lonmay where my stepmother grew up.
My stepmother asked if I could look into Margaret Stephen, as to why she used to visit her family so much when she was growing up, was there a chance she was related to them?
I have found no proof of this at all, but of course I was able to pass on her marriage, death etc.
So, to answer your question, sorry no I can not add anything on her Father, apart from the gravestone photo in the album, and that he died "in S. America 09/10/11 aged 40.
But I do have quite a few photos of Margaret Stephen, including a few school photos (probably Oyne School) with names included, and no idea what to do with them really.
Regards
Brian

Hi BrianEwen, it's been a while since you mentioned that you were interested in Margaret Stephen. I have just remembered that another person in my husband's Stephen line had been in touch with Margaret's brother in  law, Sylvester Skinner. He showed her a photo album he had of Margaret's. I wonder if it was the same one? Can you tell me the name of the family that kept in touch with her or have you already found the connection?
Regards,

Hi flst

Possibly is the same one.

My Stepmothers name is Elma (Elizabeth Margaret) Scott (nee Smith)

She grew up in the Lonmay area, where her Mother was a lady in waiting to Lady Southesk.

Brian
