Hi Margaret

Can't see anything at the moment for Hilda's parents or sister. Just have to go out for half an hour. Back later

Lynne

Many thanks for all this help. Can I ask, are there any dates of death for Noel and wife Margaret and marriage dates for daughter Gladys. Could be Canada or US I think.

Hello
I believe that part of your enquiry you would need to look at Scotlandspeople for Births

Regards

Margaret

Could I ask someone with access to full Ancestry see if they can find details of NOEL TORROP born Edinburgh Scotland 1854 ( I know all his Scottish background), his wife MARGARET nee WRIGHT and 2 daughters HILDA AND GLADYS.
I know Hilda never married but Gladys married twice and had at least 1 child KENNETH who died young.

They went to Canada after Noel and Margaret married I think and Hilda ended up in US, not sure if the others stayed in Canada.

Any info as to marriages and deaths and any other children for Gladys would be great.

Regards

Margaret
