Well, where to start? How about with Annie O'Brien/Shulman/Barratt/Johnson, etc. Certainly a busy woman.
Advertisements in Aberdeen Press & Journal from March 1908 until Sept.1912 call her Madame Zena (perhaps a form of Rosina?) Barratt telling fortunes, reading a crystal ball, etc. Dates fit with David Shulman, wife Annie, nephew Fred O'Brien* and 'adopted daughter Eveline Shulman' living in Aberdeen at time of 1911 census. (wonder if 'nephew' is actually Annie's illegitimate child). In May 1912 she has 'returned from Edinburgh.' Then in Feb.1913 a 'first visit to Dundee' (sort of working holiday?).
Next trace, so far, is in 1921 in England where (in a very short space of time it would seem) David Shulman dies (registered Jan./Mar. quarter), Annie appears in court (newspaper 6 Apr.) and Annie marries (16 Apr.) Bertram Johnson.
So, why did Annie stop spate of advertising in Aberdeen paper. Was she in some sort of trouble with the law?
