Notes for Katherine Sheila Hope Macleod
She was eventually found on the printed birth indices with the surname McLeod, not the Macleod used at marriage., The FreeBMD version is:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Dec 1909 (>99%)
McLEOD Katherine Sheila H Petersfield 2c 164
But nothing can be found on the GRO online version, whatever spelling I have tried.
___________________
Not found in 1911, unless she was in Scotland.
___________________
In 1939 she was head of a household of 12 people but her husband was away (at sea I presume) and she had no children but did have a child’s nurse, probably for the impending birth of her first child at Saint Clairs Farm Droxford, Disgoed , Droxford, Droxford R.D., Hampshire. Possibly much of the rest were evauees? or, if this was a farm, farm workers?
