Hello again Thank you Carol for suggesting Google. I had already tried that prior to writing to the List . I was unable to find the personal information I need - it just confirmed the details I already knew. I am hoping someone may be able to suggest a different research avenue. Evelyn MacCallum
Hi Evelyn, From your Google search you will have found that he was born in 1884 & died 6th May 1977, also the name of his wife and her father. You can also find a picture of him on Google if you click on Images instead of Web. I suggest you try press archives for obituaries, e.g.The Scotsman, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, and also musical journals. These may have sufficient personal details to set you on your way. There was also a biography by Michael Turnbull published in 1992 mentioned on Google. Best wishes, Sheena Ireland -----Original Message----- From: K.D, MacCallum [mailto:kemac@tiscali.co.uk] Sent: 27 February 2005 16:38 To: MIDLOTHIAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MLN] Joseph HISLOP, opera singer Hello again Thank you Carol for suggesting Google.
