    3. Hello Donald, Originally I am from Kinlochleven, not very often there are many queries about it! I have a couple of books on Kinlochleven as well, but none give the names of any of the folks, my own grandfather was there at the time you question about, and from what I gather it was a pretty wild place, through research etc. My guess is that the lady are looking for comes from Ballachulish way, just a guess though, it does say that the men who were there took their wives from surrounding areas, as there were very few women in Kinlochleven. One suggestion I have if you cannot find the appropriate certificates from Scotlands People, is that you check out a small museum in Kinlochleven, it is called the Aluminium Story. It may have something about him since he was manager. I cannot find the address anywhere, but I imagine Les Horn who is a member of this list will be able to accommodate you with the postal address. As a footnote in January 1911 the total population of Kinlochleven was 1,189. a split of 803 males and 386 females.
