Hi all

I have just found out that the above lady was strangled and left in a ditch near Old Crombie in 1959. Of course now I am desperate to get the full story.  Would this be recorded in any newspapers and if so where as I only have another week in Scotland before returning home to Australia.

Any ideas most appreciated. 

Shea was the daughter of William Ingram and Barbara Steele born 1900 at Sheep Park Marnoch.

I can't imagine it not being reported in the Aberdeen Press and Journal https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/

Unfortunately 1959 is just too late for it to be available online in the collections available to me. Maybe someone else knows of an online version.

You should be able to see back numbers of the P and J in Aberdeen Public Library or in the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh. If you go to the NLS you will need to take evidence of your ID with you.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I just so happened to be in Aberdeen at the moment so will make it a point of visiting the library and see what I can find.  Thanks for the tip.

Cheers
