Sadie hasn't been mistranscibed. She is Sadie on the image. She was probably known as Sadie a common Scottish form of Sarah.

Mark, you would need her birth certificate to see if she was registered as Sarah or Sadie. It's a bit like some registered as Robert but always called Bob or an Elizabeth who always gets called Betty. Scots are great ones for using variations of their given names...Janet known as Jessie, Jane as Jean and my own Aunt Sarah was only ever known as Cissie :-D

My opening post did ask certain questions ...


Would be interested to know if possible whether Alice Maud or her sister Elisabeth got married or had any children

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 10 Apr 2016 16:38

Perhaps you should have said in your opening post that you didn't need any other info, only if the girls had married, had any children and when they died.
