I have just spent a happy evening, trying to discover the name of Richard Skillings sister. They had both emigrated to Canada, she had married someone and on his WW1 attestation papers she is just named as Mrs xxxxxxxof.

I can remember kind folks either on here or on GR before the mutiny sorting out her name for me, but could I remember?
Luckily, I DID remember that someone of the same name appeared on the war memorial:
West Lorne Cenotaph - West Lorne, Ontario, Canada
Even luckier, I found a marriage notice for this sister
But would you really have guessed that her name was
Mary Schliehauf?
