Hi All, I have an ancestor who according to the 1881 census was born in Pomona Orkney, but everything I have found about her says that she was born in Stromness. Unfortunately my geography knowledge is not great and I have never heard of somewhere called Pomona. please can SKS enlighten me a bit. thanks in anticipation Liz Langmann ( Campbell) Cape Town South Africa
