One to consider...

Death: Charlotte Campbell, domestic servant, single, 1897, age "about 30", parents unknown, in East Funach, Durris, Kincardineshire.

I don't know if it is relevant, but the doctor who gave the cause of death as pneumonia was from Peterculter. Durris is a near-neighbouring parish to Peterculter.

Food for thought,

AndrewP

I was tempted to look at that one too Andrew. What a pity there was no details but a high chance it was her.

Thank you both. Sadly I think you are correct. I guess with their father dying when they were so young and their mother not remarrying the sisters did not have much of a chance. We are so lucky to be alive today.
