Hi All,
Hope there's someone out there with experience of researching Scottish records who can help me please.
I am looking to trace my great-aunt, Dorice Scarlett (sometimes known as Dolly), she was born 3q 1892 in Portsea Island, Portsmouth. I have already located her in both 1901 & 1911 census when she was still living locally; in 1911 she was with her maternal grandmother, who died in 1912.
The last certain record of her I have is that she was a witness at the (double) wedding of her brothers in Southsea in 1915. Family stories say she went to Scotland to live & never married.
I am very interested in trying to trace her 'forward' as I would dearly love to know why she went to Scotland & also whether there is any truth in the fable of her inheriting some kind of 'family sword'. I have been on Scotlands People & can find no record of a marriage or death for her, but as this is the only link I have in Scotland I am wondering if I am missing something obvious.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted,
