It's al rather overwhelming Elizabeth! We still have nearly 70 pages of prison records to examine!! lol

We are researching Margaret Hutton's husband and his parents because it would seem they all had an influence on what happened to Margaret, but won't be going any further back in Scotland I don't think.

OH said he wished his mum was still alive so he could ask if Hutton was the surname her father had mentioned to her, but which she couldn't remember.

I don't think she would have been at all surprised to know about DH's antics in the army, but might have been shocked to know about his mother and the absence of the hard-headed Scot who apparently wasn't living with them in Cork at all!!
