Hi Tracey,
No I don't think so, I think that Euphemia SPEED being a neice of Isabella BAILLIE nee STEVENS will be one of the Euphemia STEVENS' or otherwise Euphemia ROBERTSON... I'm just searching SPEED/ROBERTSON marriages now

Well it looks like you have found enough to keep you out of trouble (or in trouble with the plastic ) for a while

Good luck
Tracey

Hi Tracey,
Oh! please don't break the 'puter, you're such a good help.

SP didn't have any SPEED/STEVENS or SPEED/ROBERTSON marriages 1855-1922

Euphemia's address on the dc is Shine? St, Strathmiglo, but of course she could have been anywhere in 1901.
